iPass today introduced the first edition of its Wi-Fi Hotspot Index. The Index is a report that summarizes session data collected by iPass across its base of approximately 1,000,000 quarterly users. The tool is designed for those interested in Wi-Fi connectivity trends.

Key findings include which airport hotspots around the world have been used most by business travelers, what countries and cities have experienced the fastest growth in Wi-Fi usage, and what types of retail venues have been most frequented for hotspot use.

iPass’ network consists of more than 76,000 hotspots in 68 countries, and over 3,000 business customers, including more than 350 companies in the Forbes Global 2000.

The index is available at www.ipass.com/wifihotspotindex.

A report just issued by research company In-Stat says growth of the Wi-Fi mesh networking equipment market will slow by 10% from 2006 through the end of this year.

In-Stat says that "strong growth" will continue for Wi-Fi mesh access points for the next several years, as shipments grow more than three-fold between 2006 and 2011. Most of that growth however will come between 2006 and 2008, with growth rates rapidly declining starting in 2009.
