The metropolitan area network standard, 802.16a has been approved as and IEEE Standard. I guess I jumped the gun last week on my story, Roger Gets His MAN. Chair of the 802.16 committee, Roger Marks, wrote: “Congratulations to the whole 802.16a team and to the entire Working Group. We owe a particular thanks to the [...]
Proxim is upgrading their dual-slot, dual-band 2000 and 2500 series APs and lowering the cost. The 802.11g upgrade kits for the AP-2000 are PC Card based, and fit in one of the two slots in the unit with 17 dBm output power (50mW). The card also has a connector for external antennas. Because it has [...]
ArrayComm is “looking at commercial deployment in the U.S. some time next year”, according to Sam Endy, chief operating officer of Arraycomm. Korea’s giant LG Electronics will manufacture and distribute base stations and wireless modems in the second half of the year. LGE plans to have its wireless modems ready for the Sydney, Australia deployment, [...]
Tim reports that Ubicom is working with KarlNet for outdoor wireless customer premise equipment (CPE). Karnet uses proprietary firmware called TurboCell™ that enable more efficient use of Wi-Fi cards in metropolitan applications. Ubicom is using Intersil’s line of 802.11g cards. Ubicom has added support for repeater functionality and is working with Agere to deliver a [...]
The SiGe Semiconductor’s SE2529L provides +18dBm power output for dual- mode 802.11b/g radios. The improved power output will deliver better data throughput over a longer range. The IC amplifier, which costs about a buck in quantity, would be incorporated into the cards of other manufacturers. SiGe Semiconductor collaborates with customers on reference designs. It consists [...]
The National Science Foundation is giving away money again. NSF wants ideas for sensing for toxic chemicals, explosives and biological agents. They want to develop sensor networkings in a distributed environment and envision arrays of reconfigurable, ultra low-power, wireless nodes with integrated processing and communications to processing centers for decision and response. Individual investigators, as [...]
