| VIVATO LAUNCHES 802.11G EXTENDED RANGE WI-FI BASE STATION
New 802.11g Outdoor Wi-Fi Base Station Dramatically Improves
Economics of Deploying High Data Rate Wireless Networks Across Multiple
Vertical Markets
SAN MATEO, Calif. - October 12, 2004 - Vivato, a scalable
Wi-Fi systems infrastructure company, today unveiled its new 802.11g
Outdoor Wi-Fi base station. The new Vivato base station enables
up to 54Mbps data rates at distances extending up to 12 times farther
than traditional 802.11g products. The additional coverage enables
customers to cost effectively deploy and manage 802.11g-based networks
in areas that are otherwise difficult to deploy. The 802.11g Wi-Fi
base station (model number VP2210), in combination with Vivato's
802.11b base stations and micro and pico cells, allows cost effective,
highly scalable Wi-Fi deployments both indoors and outdoors.
"VeriLAN has been successful using Vivato products for the
last year. Now we have integrated Vivato's new 802.11g outdoor base
station into our network." said Steven Schroedl, president
and CEO, VeriLAN. "With the addition of the extended range
802.11g into our network, customers will be able to use more data-rich
applications such as streaming video, VoIP as well as access and
distribute large files throughout the network."
Markets that will benefit from Vivato's extended range 802.11g
base stations include education, logistics, resorts and hotels,
metropolitan networks, public access networks, public safety and
large public venues such as arenas and sports stadiums, as well
as government. "The ability to deploy 802.11g networks cost
effectively will benefit markets that rely on high-speed communications
to perform mission-critical work and expand their wireless networks."
Said Philip Marshall, director, wireless/mobile technologies, Yankee
Group. "Technologies like Vivato's smart antennae-based Wi-Fi
systems are enabling users to transform hot spots into hot zones,
and in the process, increase the coverage area of Wi-Fi."
A unique phased array antenna design allows Vivato to greatly extend
the reach of industry standard 802.11b and 802.11g signals, enabling
standard Wi-Fi clients to communicate over much greater distances.
This, combined with Vivato's unique systems approach and family
of products, including base stations and access points (APs/bridges),
allows customers to optimize network design for cost, bandwidth
and coverage.
"We are committed to providing our customers with superior
Wi-Fi coverage that also delivers the best possible economics and
total cost of ownership (TCO) through a scalable, systems approach,"
said Chris DeMarche, senior vice president of marketing and business
development for Vivato. "With the new 802.11g outdoor Wi-Fi
base station, Vivato is building on its family of Wi-Fi products
to better fulfill a range of customer requirements in a cost effective
package. As evidenced by our growing customer list, we consistently
architect systems that deliver large-scale coverage and excellent
performance, while achieving the lowest TCO compared to any other
systems solution provider today."
