and Wake-on-Wireless™ Technologies at Wi-Fi Planet Conference
Communication Machinery Corporation, Instant802
Networks, Intelligraphics and Propagate Networks showcase innovative WLAN
products featuring Atheros chips
WHAT: Atheros Communications and select partners will
demonstrate wireless LAN products that feature Atheros chips (See partner demo
section below). Additionally, Atheros will demonstrate some of its advanced
Wi-Fi technologies such as Super G® and Wake-on-Wireless™ .
The key features comprising
Atheros’ Super G technology are packet bursting, data compression, the ability
to support larger frames and a dynamic multi-channel mode. Super G technology
delivers 108Mbps data links with actual end user TCP/IP throughput of up to
90Mbps in 802.11a/b/g, 802.11b/g and 802.11a wireless networks. Atheros’
Wake-on-Wireless capability extends network management to the Wi-Fi environment.
The Wake-on-Wireless capability is compatible with existing network
infrastructure equipment, management software, and industry standards for remote
wakeup functionality.
WHERE: Wi-Fi Planet Conference, San Jose, Calif., at the San Jose
McEnery Convention Center, Exhibit Hall, Atheros Booth #209. The convention
center is located at 125 S. Market St.
WHEN: Wednesday through Friday, Dec. 3-5, from 10:00am-7:00pm on
Wednesday; 10:00am-5:00pm on Thursday; and 10:00am-2:00pm on Friday.
ATHEROS PARTNER DEMO
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Communication Machinery Corporation (CMC) will demonstrate a
Wi-Fi tool that enables stress, reliability and scalability testing of Wi-Fi
products and WLAN systems. CMC’s EmulationEngine 11a/b/g product family aids
design and QA testing engineers in product design, network engineers in
validating WLAN system installation and IT managers in WLAN support and
expansion. Conference attendees will be able to set configurable populations
of concurrent user-controlled virtual 802.11a/b/g stations from a single
emulator.
-
Instant802 Networks will demonstrate a “plug and play”
self-managed access point that offers zero-administration WLAN deployment,
automatic AP clustering and other advanced wireless networking features.
Instant802 Networks software solutions enable manufacturers of wireless LAN
equipment to rapidly bring new products to market with the latest features.
-
Intelligraphics will
demonstrate its Linux Reference Driver on a laptop. The driver enables a full
Atheros feature set on Linux-based devices and supports multiple variants of
the Linux OS.
-
Propagate Networks will
demonstrate the company’s AutoCell system, which eliminates the need for site
surveys and configuration rules, and prevents RF interference from other Wi-Fi
devices. Conference attendees will be able to control a live network of 40
Wi-Fi nodes from a Web browser, causing automatic failover and network
configuration. AutoCell will self-organize and re-configure the network in
response to actions made by the participating attendees.
