Avaya is also talking about plans with NetGear to deliver an SMB voice over IP solution. The deal calls for the two to collaborate on a small business solution targeting enterprises with 20 users or less--a product that sounds a lot like Avaya's QuickEdition.

The vendor's HiveAP 20 a/b/g is a finalist in the mobility and wireless category of this year's Best of Interop awards.

Lose one AP and the others presumably pick up the slack so that your phone call never drops.
