WiFi Wireless, Inc. announced today that Congress has approved a major ports security bill which emphasizes WiFi Wireless solutions.
The bill provides new steps to prevent terrorism at sea ports such as putting nuclear, chemical or biological devices into one of the 11 million shipping containers entering the country every year. Further measures are expected.
The Senate passed it by a voice vote, sending it to the president for his signature.
Senator Susan Collins, chairwoman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the legislation would be a "major leap ahead" in strengthening national security.
The bill approves $400 million a year over five years for risk-based grants for training and exercises only.
It also requires the United States' 22 largest ports, which handle 98 percent of all cargo entering the country, to install radiation detectors by the end of next year.
Preferential cargo processing is offered to importers who meet certain security requirements.
