Giant pandas go wireless - Technology & science - Wireless
PORTLAND, Ore. — Giant pandas may well prefer bamboo to laptops, but wireless technology is helping researchers in China in their efforts to protect the endangered animals living in the remote Wolong Nature Reserve. Wireless technology recently installed by Intel Corp. in the mountainous 500,000-acre reserve is helping researchers communicate with one another as well as download and record data about the pandas' lives and movements — simple activities that were cumbersome and time-consuming in the preserve before the technology upgrade.
