Harris Semiconductor to Participate in UNH Multi-Vendor Interoperability Demonstrations at Networld+Interop '99
University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab Booth to Simultaneously Interoperate Wireless Devices from 13 Leading Manufacturers
MELBOURNE, Fla., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris Semiconductor today announced its support of interoperability demonstrations to be held next week at the Networld+Interop Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas. The demonstrations, which will take place at a booth being sponsored by vendors participating at the University of New Hampshire's InterOperability Lab, will illustrate the ability of wireless local area network (WLAN) products to achieve multivendor coexistence and interoperability while maintaining superior networking performance.
WLAN products from 13 leading manufacturers will participate. The demonstrations (Booth #5811) will feature IEEE802.11-based radios -- primarily PCMCIA cards and remote access points -- from various manufacturers sharing voice, data and video using 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology. UNH/IOL will simultaneously demonstrate both direct sequence (DSSS) and frequency hopping (FHSS) spread spectrum products.
''Harris recognizes that true multi-vendor interoperability and coexistence is critical for the mainstream adoption of wireless local area networks, particularly in the corporate environment,'' said Ron Van Dell, vice president and general manager of Harris' Communications Product Business. ''Our collaboration with UNH's interoperability lab underscores our ongoing commitment to driving adoption of WLANs, both through our involvement in interoperability studies and standards development, as well as the development of highly integrated, high performance WLAN chip sets -- which serve as the foundation for many of the products being demonstrated next week.''
Participating vendors in the UNH/IOL interoperability demonstration include Aironet Wireless Communications, BreezeCom, ITRI, Intermec, Lucent Technologies, No Wires Needed, Nortel Networks, Nokia, Proxim, Symbol, Telxon, Zoom Telephonics, Cabletron and SpectraLink.
