Bandspeed's Wi-Fi in mass market with AirMaestro

(Technology News, 09 Jun 2006 )

Bandspeed, in Wi-Fi management platforms for the business mass market, announced AirMaestro-a Wi-Fi access point (AP) platform that enables the mass market to deploy and manage highly intelligent, automated, robust, and secure enterprise-class Wi-Fi networks.

Will Strauss, founder and president, Forward Concepts, said, "Bandspeed has developed a WLAN solution that clearly addresses the needs of the small-to-medium enterprise market. SMEs can now take advantage of Wi-Fi networks that are simple, secure and affordable, with the performance characteristics to enable mission-critical voice, data and video applications."

AirMaestro employs Bandspeed's AP architecture with an automation system and a software-based virtual controller that eliminates the need for a separate hardware controller to manage the APs. This provides secure Wi-Fi network solutions at a significantly lower cost, compared to existing alternatives.

Bandspeed's integrated AirMaestro platform consists of both software and integrated circuits (ICs). The AirMaestro software includes IC firmware, AP software and PC-based software that work in concert to provide advanced Wi-Fi management at mass market prices. The AirMaestro IC is full-featured, standards-compliant, and is specifically designed for APs.

Bill Eversole, president and CEO of Bandspeed, said, "AirMaestro is the solution the Wi-Fi market has been waiting for. Bandspeed is working aggressively with our partners and OEM customers to roll out solutions based on the AirMaestro platform."

Bandspeed has developed complete and verified reference designs for complete access points as well as miniPCI cards to help its OEM and ODM customers quickly introduce the AirMaestro technology into their product lines.
