Researchers Go Wi-Fi To Study Gentle Giants.

This article reports on the deployment of a campus-wide broadband and wireless communications network in China's Wolong Nature Reserve, home to nearly 300 of the world's 1500 remaining pandas by Intel Corp. Instead of notebooks and pencils, researchers now use notebook pen-based computers equipped with Intel's Centrino technology to record data. This is especially useful in the field as researchers chronicle the panda's daily activities and share data, images, and video with colleagues around the world. Intel also worked with the Globio educational foundation to create the Children's Learning Lab at the Wolong Giant Panda Museum.
