WLAN - wireless local area network Manageability, Scalability and Availability Chantry chan·try n. pl. chan·tries Ecclesiastical 1. An endowment to cover expenses for the saying of masses and prayers, usually for the soul of the founder of the endowment. 2. Networks, the provider of the world's first routed 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 solution, BeaconWorks(TM), will explore WLAN architectures and examine why new approaches to wireless deployments have attracted so much attention from enterprises, institutions and vertical markets during the "Evolution of Wireless LAN Infrastructure" panel at the Next Generation Networks 17th Annual Conference (www.ngn2003.com) in Boston this week. Chantry's Chief Product Architect, Inderpreet Singh, joins a panel of fellow wireless industry experts to uncover the motivation behind the deployment of both switched and routed WLAN solutions and what features a successful WLAN infrastructure must possess. The conference takes place at the Marriott Copley Place Copley Place is an enclosed shopping mall located in the Back Bay section of Boston, Massachusetts.

"This session will explore an element of the wireless LAN industry that parallels 802.11 itself in importance," said Craig J. Mathias, a Principal with the wireless advisory firm Farpoint Group (Ashland, MA), and the session's Chair. "The discussion will extend far beyond 'fat' vs. 'thin' access points, to the core issues involved in addressing very large-scale deployments across multiple sites and large geographies." Attendees will also hear from other leading wireless LAN solution executives and technical representatives on the choices and issues involved with selecting a wireless architecture and the new class of WLAN solutions broadly available and being deployed today. Panelists will also discuss the advantages and risks of selecting and deploying WLAN switched architecture infrastructure and what the future holds for switched and routed WLAN, such as the convergence of Voice-over IP.
