Interop Las Vegas 2007

Xirrus was showing a prototype of the new 802.11n module for its high-capacity, high-speed, long-distance access point. The new modules, which will install into existing Xirrus access points, will handle traffic up to 300M bps per radio. The new MIMO ante

Xirrus also introduced a device to provide power over Gigabit Ethernet lines. This allows Xirrus access points to be installed more easily since there does not need to be a separate power line installed along with the Ethernet cables when the access point

Nexthop was showing its WLAN management solution which the company says can run on nearly any available platform. Here it’s being shown running on lots of those platforms. The company says it can offer the same functionality as Trapeze or Aruba, but doesn

Ixia was showing its XM12X test module that can provide full-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet traffic for testing products using layer 2 – 7 real world traffic. This allows manufacturers and companies using 10GbE devices to certify that their products actually pe

Canon has just announced it’s CanoBeam DT-150. This device uses a light beam to transmit data at speeds up to 1.5G bps over long distances. The distance depends on weather conditions, but it’s good for a couple of kilometers even in really awful weather,

Secure Computing offers a pair of solutions here. One solution is for attendees to find a way to get rid of the vast quantity of freebees (or tchotchkes as they’re known at technology trade shows) that companies give them as they pass by their booths. Tho

Models representing Blue Cat Networks pose with a simulated dead alien. At least we hope the alien was simulated. The models were not, as far as we could tell, simulated, but we didn’t do a thorough check. The company is well known for over-the-top booth
