Punsalan, a Filipino immigrant, is co-founder of California Technological Care, a nonprofit that since 1999 has refurbished nearly 1,500 computers to give to underfunded schools, mostly in the Philippines.

Next month, CTC will make its largest shipment yet — 1,000 Apple computers to schools on the Philippine island of Luzon.

Although Punsalan lives in San Ramon, his latest shipment is made possible by the largess of leaders in Union City. The computers come courtesy of the New Haven Unified School District, which last year donated 500 machines.

From a local PC Forum

kaya nila pinalitan yung pangalan nila kasi ang “WiFi” ay misleading sa actual na technology na ginagamit nila.

fixed wireless internet sila (broadband using antenna pero lan parin ang pasok sa pc)

yung wifi naman gamit ung 802.11a/b/g protocol. access point to wifi card ang interface nyan

napagsabihan ata sila ng wifi alliance and they decided to rebrand their product

pero before nila pinalitan dami nila inayos/upgrade sa base stations kaya panay dc, no connection. ewan ko lang ngayon hehe

Some also say that the rebranding was because Smart Wifi now has a bad reputation due to poor services to its subscribers.

It’s like your wallet, watch or mobile phone. Your laptop should be characteristic of who you are–an extension of your personality.
