Jobs raised the requirements of a seemingly impossible implementation of 20 years, triggeting Wi-Fi revolution

"At Apple, how many important moments begin when Steve Jobs is late for a meeting, and finally he puts forward a seemingly impossible request? A former lucent technology executive recalled that on April 20, 1998, he described the birth of commercial Wi Fi in the conference room at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino. Jobs held a meeting that year because he wanted apple to produce a wireless laptop. The next year after that, jobs launched the colorful "flip" iBook, the first commercial product with wireless connection. Although this meeting brought Wi Fi that we take for granted today, it had a rather embarrassing start according to Cees link of Lucent team at that time. Cees link and wireless industry news Wi Fi now shared his memories of this meeting. Lucent spent 10 years to introduce what was then known as wireless LAN technology, but their luck was not very good until they met jobs. It is said that jobs was fascinated by this technology. Cees link said jobs was late for the 2 p.m. meeting“ When he finally walked in, I thought, 'who's this guy?' Because he didn't introduce himself, "Cees link said," as a European, I haven't touched his photos, and we are usually not used to corporate people appearing in the media as celebrities. " "Then he spent about 10 minutes talking about WLAN as the greatest thing in the world. He made it clear that Apple wanted it. It's actually easy to give a speech for Steve jobs. I just put on the slides. He made a speech. His speech has nothing to do with the slides. Finally, he told us that he wanted a $50 RF wireless network card because he wanted to sell it for $99. " Cees link said that the starting price of wireless network card is much higher than Apple's retail price, but in the end, Apple's purchasing power makes it possible. On July 21, 1999, at the Macworld conference, jobs came to power and passed the iBook through the hula hoop to prove that it was wireless.
