Symbol Technologies Delivers Industry's Leading Wireless Network Management Software Package.Business Editors & Technology Writers HOLTSVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2000 SpectrumSoft(TM) WMNS 2.0 Extends Users Existing Network Management Platforms to Manage Multiple Heterogeneous Devices Deployed Across Wireless Local Area Networks Reinforcing its leadership in 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 technology, Symbol Technologies, Inc., (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :SBL SBL Society of Biblical Literature SBL Symbol Technologies, Inc. (NYSE symbol) SBL Spamhaus Block List SBL Space-Based Laser SBL Securities Borrowing and Lending SBL Supreme Beings of Leisure (band) ) today announced the availability of SpectrumSoft(TM) Wireless Network Management System (WNMS 2.0), a wireless network management software solution designed to efficiently deploy, configure, monitor, and manage Spectrum24(R) wireless local area networks (LANs) and mobile clients. "When companies go looking to install a wireless LAN, they should seriously think about their ability to view and manage that network once installed, since this can be a major factor in their total cost of ownership over time," said Rich Bravman, senior vice president and general manager, wireless systems division, Symbol Technologies, Inc. "As companies extend their wired networks to handle mobile users with wireless connectivity, they should expect that same - wired-to-wireless - extension to their network management systems." Designed to solve complex management issues associated with heterogeneous mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings devices on a wireless network, WNMS 2.0 seamlessly integrates into leading corporate enterprise network management platforms, including, HP OpenView HP OpenView was a Hewlett Packard product range consisting of an extensive portfolio of network and systems management products. In 2007 the entire HP OpenView portfolio was rebranded under the strengthened HP Software name. , Tivoli/NetView, Unicenter TNG TNG Training TNG The Next Generation TNG Tongue TNG The Newspaper Guild (Union) TNG Transitional National Government TNG Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (national facility of the Italian astronomical community) , (or stand-alone under Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. ), to give network administrators complete control of their wireless LANs. The software employs `Intelligent Agent' technology that enables true exception based management by distributing event driven data collection and threshold analysis into the enterprise system. The software also features automated discovery and configuration so that new devices added to the network can be automatically recognized and optionally configured. SpectrumSoft WNMS 2.0 is a comprehensive network management offering - from basic installation and access point configuration processes, to completely managing the entire wireless LAN. Scalable to support thousands of mobile devices on large wireless LAN installations, the software provides a migration and expansion path from single site management, to complete integrated enterprise management systems. This allows the management system to easily grow with the network as more devices are added. WNMS 2.0 offers graphical network views and group monitoring to increase usability, provide abstraction, and reduce network complexity. Symbol expects the need for wireless network management software to grow substantially with the market demand for wireless LANs. The Phillips Group InfoTech projects WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network revenues will grow at an average annual growth rate of 41% over the next five years to achieve $1.7 billion of revenue in 2004, and cumulative revenues of $5.8 billion for the 1999-2004 time period. SpectrumSoft Wireless Network Management System 2.0 SpectrumSoft WNMS 2.0 is designed to manage Spectrum24 and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and partner wireless LANs, including, 11mbps (Wifi(TM)-IEEE 802.11b), 1 and 2 mbps (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.11), and Spring AP protocol. The software supports data trending to track network traffic and usage with proactive analysis of network utilization. The software features creative network mapping Network mapping or Internet mapping is the study of the physical connectivity of the Internet. It is not to be confused with the remote discovery of which operating system a computer is running, an activity more akin to hacking. with system trees and custom maps with device specific images to allow concise network association and logical correlation between device and issue. WNMS 2.0's firmware and revision control Revision control (also known as version control (system) (VCS), source control or (source) code management (SCM)) is the management of multiple revisions of the same unit of information. mechanism enables remote configuration from a central location.
