Wi-Fi® is not the same as the Softec project. That project was announced as using infrared technology (perhaps irDA-based, but I don't recall if that level of detail has been made available). Wi-Fi® is a trademarked standard from the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance, and is specifically designed around the 802.11b or 802.11a standards (operating in the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands). The Softec project may well evolve into additional, radio-based protocols, but I have not yet seen any specifics announced by EDIG in that regard.
