Today, wireless mesh networks are state-of-the-art and Strix Systems
is been chosed by leading conference providers and owners of convention
facilities to deliver highly reliable and high performing voice, video
and data services. Jeff Pulver, President and CEO or Pulver.com
utilizes Strix Access/One for all VON (Voice On the Net)
events."Wireless IP solutions are enabling a new infrastructure for the
enterprise which is why we are continually interested in their
development," said Jeff Pulver, president and CEO of pulver.com, Inc.
"Strix's participation in this year's conference as the wireless
provider illustrates just how significant we feel the rise of mesh
networking can be to IP communications."
 The
VON Conference and Expo, hosted by pulver.com, Inc., has been extremely
successful in the telecommunications industry by focusing on the
technologies and challenges facing the IP Communications industry
today. VON events serve as a place for industry leaders to meet,
discuss and focus on the issues affecting the VoIP revolution. While
voice over packet technologies are a critical part of VON events, the
conventions are not just about voice. Each conference showcases
companies that represent a great segment of the IP Communications
industry -- covering the marketplace from the perspectives of
enterprise users, service providers, consumer services and the industry
as a whole.
Strix Systems'
Access/One Network uses a mesh topology and no-wire access points,
which enables a clean, easy, yet the highest performance and industry's
most resilient voice, video and data deployments. This capability has
been recognized by many including Steve Stroh of CONXX Inc. who states
"Strix Systems was used for the Wi-Fi access at VON, and my experience
was that it worked flawlessly..." "This is the veryfirst time I can say that about Wi-Fi access at any conference I have
attended in the last eight years. What was remarkable in particular
about Strix Systems' equipment in particular is how outwardly simple it
is to deploy..." "Put it where it makes sense and let it see if it can
"mesh up" with other nodes. This is the kind of thing that a
neighborhood can get together to do". 
Pulver uses Strix Access/One in the
events general sessions, press and breakout rooms as well as hallways, lounges and
corridors. Since the network nodes or access points are self-discovering and
self-tuning, the nodes need only be turned on for the network to begin to take
shape. Using Manager/One, networking manager for the event can easily monitor
the network at all times from anywhere.
"Since the Access/One Network actually eliminates the need for Ethernet
wiring on the back-end of the access point, we can easily expand or modify the
network during the show amidst the constant changes to internal structures and
material placement."
said John Jones, conference networking manager for
VON. The systems works seamlessly, providing the show organizers
a wireless networking system that is easy to install, manage, configure, and
operate. |
