Connectify combines Wi-Fi, 4G into a superfast wireless pipe

Philadelphia startup Connectify has turned to Kickstarter to raise funds for its latest PC connection management project. It’s developing software that will allow a PC to aggregate multiple broadband connections, ranging from Wi-Fi to 4G, into a single a high-bandwidth link. Connectify plans to offer the software as a stand-alone PC product as well as incorporate it into its Hotspot software, which would allow the PC to act as both connection aggregator and broadband distributor – though more Wi-Fi links would necessitate the use of additional Wi-Fi cards or USB modems. Connectify also plans to offer up an API for developers who want to use the technology in their own apps.
