Vivato Deploys at Lincoln University
Vivato's switches save years and dollars at university: This installation would have been challenging for conventional wireless LANs, the press release notes, because the university spans many buildings across 400 acres. Many of the 40 buildings are historic, which probably translates into "no wiring closets" and an aging electrical physical plant. The backstory of a press release like this is that Vivato finds it necessary to promote the installation of their equipment at institutions with unique characteristics rather than announcing the sale of their gear to Fortune 5000 companies or wireless ISPs....

Legra Releases Products
Legra, the WLAN switch developer, announced today the general availability of its switch and AP platform. The slew of WLAN switch makers that have entered the market over the past year aim to make it easier for IT workers to manage large WLANs. While they all aim to solve the same set of problems, each has its own spin and Legra is no different. One unique aspect of Legra's switch is the crypto engine, which lives on silicon specially developed by Legra. The chip allows four different engines to run at the same time so users can prioritize traffic through the encryption process. The capability could be important for some users, like hospitals that may want to make sure that critical information such as heart monitoring data is transmitted as quickly as possible. "Email won't impact the mission-critical communications," said Paul DeBaesi, vice president of product management and marketing for Legra....

WiMax Has Hard Job Ahead
The WiMax Forum is supposed to help settle on an approach that implement the IEEE 802.16a point-to-point wireless spec: But the sheer range and nature of the protocol might result in several incompatible approaches. Intel's involvement might focus efforts in one direction. The article's side note that the 802.11g pre-ratification rush in the Wi-Fi space means even the Wi-Fi Alliance has found it difficult to maintain the original promise of interoperability is unfounded. I was dubious about the early 802.11g gear, too, but the rush was towards a single standard, not towards several. Ultimately, the IEEE approved 802.11g in summer and the Wi-Fi Alliance certified gear shortly thereafter....
