AeroGuard™ MIMO Wireless Technology for Business Reaches First Anniversary
SOHOware, a wireless LAN pioneer, has announced the first anniversary of AeroGuard™, a MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) wireless technology solution that combines the unprecedented range and capacity of MIMO architecture with Enterprise-class security and hierarchical management.
(PRWEB) August 17, 2005 -- SOHOware announced the first anniversary of
AeroGuard™, a MIMO wireless technology solution that has been received with
swelling endorsement by value-added resellers (VARs) and wireless Internet
service providers (WISPs) who have rolled out hundreds of deployments taking
advantage of MIMO wireless technology.
AeroGuard MIMO
wireless technology resellers are showing tangible results. Nick Rainwater,
Director of Technology for International Police Technologies, a SOHOware
specialty VAR, has successfully opened new business opportunities in the mobile
video surveillance market for Law Enforcement. Rainwater said of MIMO wireless technology
performance, “Previously, we achieved a maximum of only 22Mbps throughput per AP
with 108Mbps rated products, which was unacceptably slow for the file sizes we
needed to archive. But with AeroGuard™ we've seen throughput increase to a
consistent 44Mbps.”
“True MIMO-based radio frequency technology has
minimized the need for site survey and Cat.5 cables accelerating wireless LAN
adoption by the small-to-medium business market segment over the course of the
last year,” said Dr. C.T. Wu, CEO of SOHOware. Dr. Wu added that the multi-path
interference mitigation abilities of MIMO architecture allow AeroGuard™ to
thrive in obstacle cluttered environments – as proven time after time.
Today, the AeroGuard™ MIMO wireless technology
remains the only wireless LAN solution to offer both MIMO wireless LAN Switch
and MIMO wireless Mesh functionality in one platform. Centralized management
hierarchy includes three levels:
* MIMO Access Points
* MIMO Switch
Access Points
* AeroGuard™ Network Management System appliances.
Now
Enterprise customers, VARs, or WISPs can deploy and centrally manage multi-site
installations. At the local level, the MIMO wireless Mesh option simplifies
deployment and reduces installation costs by replacing Ethernet cables with 5GHz
backhaul links that offer failover through auto-path redundancy.
For
Kevin Shank, President of Sypherdata, another SOHOware VAR, the wireless Mesh
capability of AeroGuard™ MIMO wireless technology was
perfectly suited for his hotel projects—not only for eliminating wired network
infrastructure but also for the built-in functions that simplify guest
management.
“I knew the wireless Mesh feature of AeroGuard™ was going to
be important to my business, and the Comfort Suites hotel job is one of many
projects I've won because of what I can do with MIMO wireless technology,” said
Shank.
AeroGuard™ MIMO wireless technology has
embedded functions that are well suited for applications requiring support for
guest access in hotspot and hospitality markets, including:
* Support for
local or remote RADIUS authentication.
* Interoperability with third-party
AAA systems such as Alepo.
* Optimized application flexibility for public
access deployments.
