The DeskBridge from TeleAdapt is a clever little box that converts a wireless WiFi signal into a wired Ethernet connection. Designed to let people like hotel operators offer us mortals a Net connect when we don’t have wireless in our devices. Clever.

‘…operators have started to realise that the low take-up of [WiFi] services on offer is a result of most laptops not having wireless on board or that many corporations do not allow their travellers to connect to wireless networks for security reasons…By adding wired access to wireless networks through a retractable Ethernet cable all laptops and computers can participate in the wireless revolution!…For the guest it�s as easy as pulling out the cable from the DeskBridge and plugging it into their laptop. There�s no need to install any software or drivers, or even supply their own patch cable!’
