Atheros Demonstrates Super G and Wake-on-Wireless Technologies at Wi-Fi Planet Conference.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2003 Communication Machinery Corporation, Instant802 Networks, Intelligraphics and Propagate prop·a·gate v. 1. To cause an organism to multiply or breed. 2. To breed offspring. 3. To transmit characteristics from one generation to another. 4. Networks showcase innovative WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network products featuring Atheros chips WHAT: Atheros Communications and select partners will demonstrate wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area 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(TM) and Wake-on-Wireless(TM). The key features comprising Atheros' Super G technology are packet bursting, data compression data compression Process of reducing the amount of data needed for storage or transmission of a given piece of information (text, graphics, video, sound, etc.), typically by use of encoding techniques. , 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 TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. 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 (Common Messaging Calls) A programming interface specified by the XAPIA as the standard messaging API for X.400 and other messaging systems. CMC is intended to provide a common API for applications that want to become mail enabled. 1. ) 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 See wireless network. 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 Same as laptop computer. laptop - portable computer . 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 The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet. In order to view a site, you type its address (URL) into the browser's Location field; for example, www.computerlanguage.com, and the home page of that site is downloaded to you. , causing automatic failover and network configuration. AutoCell will self-organize and re-configure the network in response to actions made by the participating attendees. About Atheros Communications, Inc.
