Description:

The Wifi Jumper automatically connects the device to the strongest available and known WiFi network. Even unknown but unsecured (open) networks are supported automatically on request.

In addition, the control of the wifi functionality can be automated based on the local radio cells (transmission towers). Outside such a defined Wifi zone, the Wifi module is automatically deactivated, within activated. Thus, the power consumption of the device is possibly reduced and the battery life extended.

Additional radio cells of an area are added automatically as long as the Wifi is still connected. This eliminates the manual maintenance of the Wifi zones.
