Wireless Switch Pioneer Vivato Stops Operations

The company, which has reportedly been in crisis, has stopped operations, according to reports.
December 17, 2005

Vivato, one of the original wireless LAN switch startups, has ceased operations, Wi-Fi Net News (WNN) has reported.

The company's demise was confirmed by a corporate spokesperson, according to WNN. The shut-down has already occurred, according to WNN.

Vivato, along with other companies like Airespace and Aruba Wireless Networks made news three years ago by introducing WLAN switches that provided a more centralized method of managing wireless LANs than trying to manage large numbers of access points, each with built-in intelligence. Airespace has since been acquired by Cisco Systems.

Reports of the company's difficulties have circulated on the Web for a number of months.
