How Far We've Come Since Netstumbler

October 06, 2010 11:30 AM
Back in 2001, a generous fellow named Marius Milner gave the world a utility called Netstumbler and a new culture was born. Milner is a software engineer who did the rare thing for his fellow man: he gave away a kicking program that he likely could have made some serious dollars from if he had sold it. Even better, he provided updates to Netstumbler through the years, along with a discussion forum that would become a repository for a wealth of information regarding wireless networking in general.

Xirrus Advocates For Pure Wireless Environments

August 13, 2010 01:16 PM
Anyone with a pulse in IT knows that wireless networking is muscling out wired Ethernet at home and in business.

That simple phrase is playing out in my own very large WLAN, where wireless pervades as the main connectivity option for most users, with the patch cable still revered for a shrinking minority of devices. In a recent TCMnet interview, Xirrus CEO Dirk Gates explained how his philosophy goes even further into kissing off wired Ethernet to the desktop through deployment of Xirrus 802.11n Wi-Fi arrays.
