AeroGuard MIMO Wireless Technology for Business Reaches First Anniversary

SOHOware, a wireless LAN pioneer, has announced the first anniversary of AeroGuard, a MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) wireless technology solution that combines the unprecedented range and capacity of MIMO architecture with Enterprise-class security and hierarchical management.

(PRWEB) August 17, 2005 -- SOHOware announced the first anniversary of AeroGuard™, a MIMO wireless technology (http://www.sohoware.com) solution that has been received with swelling endorsement by value-added resellers (VARs) and wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) who have rolled out hundreds of deployments taking advantage of MIMO wireless technology.

AeroGuard MIMO wireless technology (http://www.sohoware.com) resellers are showing tangible results. Nick Rainwater, Director of Technology for International Police Technologies, a SOHOware specialty VAR, has successfully opened new business opportunities in the mobile video surveillance market for Law Enforcement. Rainwater said of MIMO wireless technology (http://www.sohoware.com) performance, Previously, we achieved a maximum of only 22Mbps throughput per AP with 108Mbps rated products, which was unacceptably slow for the file sizes we needed to archive. But with AeroGuard™ we've seen throughput increase to a consistent 44Mbps."

True MIMO-based radio frequency technology has minimized the need for site survey and Cat.5 cables accelerating wireless LAN adoption by the small-to-medium business market segment over the course of the last year," said Dr. C.T. Wu, CEO of SOHOware. Dr. Wu added that the multi-path interference mitigation abilities of MIMO architecture allow AeroGuard™ to thrive in obstacle cluttered environments -- as proven time after time.

Today, the AeroGuard™ MIMO wireless technology (http://www.sohoware.com) remains the only wireless LAN solution to offer both MIMO wireless LAN Switch and MIMO wireless Mesh functionality in one platform. Centralized management hierarchy includes three levels:

* MIMO Access Points

* MIMO Switch Access Points

* AeroGuard™ Network Management System appliances.

Now Enterprise customers, VARs, or WISPs can deploy and centrally manage multi-site installations. At the local level, the MIMO wireless Mesh option simplifies deployment and reduces installation costs by replacing Ethernet cables with 5GHz backhaul links that offer failover through auto-path redundancy.

For Kevin Shank, President of Sypherdata, another SOHOware VAR, the wireless Mesh capability of AeroGuard™ MIMO wireless technology (http://www.sohoware.com) was perfectly suited for his hotel projects-not only for eliminating wired network infrastructure but also for the built-in functions that simplify guest management.

I knew the wireless Mesh feature of AeroGuard™ was going to be important to my business, and the Comfort Suites hotel job is one of many projects I've won because of what I can do with MIMO wireless technology," said Shank.

AeroGuard™ MIMO wireless technology (http://www.sohoware.com) has embedded functions that are well suited for applications requiring support for guest access in hotspot and hospitality markets, including:

* Support for local or remote RADIUS authentication.

* Interoperability with third-party AAA systems such as Alepo.

* Optimized application flexibility for public access deployments.
