Abe Olandres Leave a comment

Groupe BPCE, France’s second largest banking institution, will start to roll out money transfers for its customers via a Twitter. Customers will be able to send money with a single tweet sometime this week as part of a trial run.

The person-to-person money transfer will also allow BPCE customers to remit any amount to another person even if the recipient uses a different bank.

The process only requires a single tweet and does not need any banking details.

@BPCE: SEND €2,890 TO @yugatech. This is a sample tweet to transfer money.

This payment channel may require Twitter users to add bank details into their Twitter profile in order to receive the money accordingly.

BPCE is France’s second largest bank, formed by the 2009 merger of CNCE and BFBP, has more than 8,200 branches nationwide under their respective brand names serving nearly 40 million customers.

Samsung intros WiFi 802.11ad 60GHz at 4.6Gbps

There are currently two WiFi bands being used by most routers and devices, the 2.4GHz UHF and 5GHz SHF radio waves. Both are widely used and has become the standard. Samsung has developed a new band, the 6.0GHz, that allows for wireless speeds of up to 4.6Gbps.

The new standard, 802.11ad, has a theoretical data transfer rate of 575MB/second. That’s about 5 times faster than current WiFi connections (transferring files from one device to another on the same wireless network). That’s more than 4 times faster than using a wired LAN (1 Gigabit).

While most of us would not really care about local WiFi speeds except for the actual internet speed that it carries, the new WiFi 802.11ad standard would mean the WiFi coverage would be wider and the signal can efficiently pass thru interferences like walls and other obstacles.

On a related note, here’s a quick study on how WiFi signal behaves at home (How to position your WiFi router to get best signal) and we also shared 12 Tips to Boost your WiFi Signal at Home.
