Sputnik Launches!
01/07/2004 05:29 PMI'm extremely proud to herald the launch of Sputnik's newest product set, Sputnik Central Control
2.2 and the award-winning AP 120 WiFi
Access Point. These products have made it to the light of day after
thousands of man-hours of testing and real-world use, bugs and
bug-fixes, dozens of deployments, new feature enhancements, and
hundreds of hours spent listening and working with customers and
partners.
These products make it easy for Wireless ISPs, Hotspot operators,
and IT Services companies to roll out managed, authenticated wireless
access. At $185 per AP, the Sputnik AP 120 (bu
y) is one half to one fifth the price of wireless Access
Points with equivalent features. The Access Point is completely
managable centrally - everything from initial provisioning to ongoing
maintenance and firmware upgrades, can be done centrally. Sputnik
Central Control (bu
y) acts as the centralized management console, and the $895 price
includes a software license to manage up to 20 Access Points.
Additional licensing packs are available as well. Add it all up, and
the complete Sputnik system is at least one half to one tenth the
price of similar solutions. Sputnik even offers completely free
licensing for community wireless groups - making it easy to start
and manage a community wireless network.
Here's what some customers are saying:
Chad M. Smith of Washington Broadband, Inc: I want to thank you
for your support and providing such an excellent solution. We have
researched for months for a solution like yours. I have even attempted
developing our own with little success. Since the database and cgi is
"open" we will have no problems integrating Sputnik into our billing
system. We will definitely be purchasing your products in the short
term.
Craig Fine, director of sales for Softmatrix: It would have
been really difficult without Sputnik because there's not really a
solution that lets you manage multiple hot spots with one server.
How do they do that?
Here's the scoop: Sputnik Central Control and the AP120 were built
from the ground up with the conviction that you could have commodity
hardware pricing and enterprise-class management. And because Sputnik
built itself up organically, without Venture Capitalist funding, we
are able to offer the products at a radically lower price point than
our competitors. Everyone said "It can't be done." But we put our
heads together and came up with a completely different approach from
everyone else in the industry - and we have happy customers who are
using the system every day. Here's what the architecture looks
like:
Don't just take my word for it - LinuxDevices took a thorough look
at the system, and came away
impressed:
The Sputnik Agent provides all of the manageability hooks that enable
automatic configuration, dynamic firewalling, multiple captive portal
redirects, policy routing, centralized management, and end-user
tracking.
Wi-Fi Networking News, the
leading trade publication covering Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.11 standards
liked what they
saw:
With Sputnik's server software and access points (APs) that include
Sputnik edge software, operators get centralized network management
functions with usage analysis, security, AP provisioning, and an end
user interface.
All this adds up to secure, managed wireless networking with
lower capital costs, lower operating costs and greater
flexibility than any alternative. See how people
are using Sputnik technology in a variety of situations, like WISPs and Hot Spot
Providers.
Sputnik is talking with select VARs and System Integrators. If
you're interested in reselling the Sputnik system, send an email to partners@sputnik.com, but you'd better
hurry - we're getting overwhelmed with requests.
I'm incredibly honored to have worked with the talented team of
industry veterans at Sputnik. Everyone has worked their butts off to
create a system built around user requests - an inexpensive, centrally
managed, plug-and-play Wi-Fi system that provides group policy and
access control - and one that could be plugged directly into a
corporate LAN - no need for special VLANs or convoluted network
architecture, just a dynamic firewall at each ingress/egress point in
your network, all acting in unison, as part of a "hive mind".

HP launches H[i]Pods
HP launches H[i]Pods
08/30/2004 02:07 PMHewlett Packard are continuing their move into Digital Media markets
with the launch of a HP branded Apple iPod. The devices come in
variety of wacky colours, and are being launched with 20 gig and 40
gig hard drives inside them. The devices offer USB and Firewire
connectivity, and will be sold at a comparable (read : the same)
price to Apple.
Much had been speculated since HP announced its partnership with
Apple, earlier this year, as to what they might do with the devices.
More specifically, whether they'd make any changes or additions to the
gear. The answer? Absolutely not. HP have not added WMA support to the
iPods, which might have added some value to the iPods. The only
addition that appears to have been made is "Printable
Tattoos", allowing users to download, print, and deploy logos
onto their iPods (HP claims they are easy to remove, yet at the same
time are able to offer serious protection to the iPod from bumps
etc).
With 8 months development time, HP have added little to Apple's
product asides from an
apparently poorly coded ActiveX plug-in
for Windows Media Player. A very sorry story, making one wonder why
people would buy the product from HP when they’d get exactly the same
deal from Apple. The answer is unclear. However, HP's corporate logo
of 'invent' really doesn't do this make over job justice.

WirelessUnleashed Launches
06/04/2004 09:08 AMEarlier this week, with a little help from my friends, I launched a
WirelessUnleashed, a group
weblog on unlicensed wireless issues. Between getting this
online and
Supernova
planning, I've been so busy that I neglected to post a pointer
here!
The site focuses on the benefits of reallocating low-frequency
wireless
capacity from broadcasting to unlicensed applications, both here and
around the world. There is a huge amount of capacity which could
be used for two-way applications like broadband to the home, but which
is locked up in broadcast allocations based on 1950s technology.
Freeing it up could create massive opportunities for innovation, and
could dramatically lower the costs of wireless connectivity in
developing countries.
My co-conspirators are Clay Shirky, Andrew Odlyzko, and David
Isenberg.
It's not often you find the brainpower that these three bring to the
table in one place.

06/06/2005 12:13 AMAnd so it finally begins. The Portal Wars 2.0.
I hate to take credit for coining the phrase, but it's been so
obvious - for years - that this was going to happen that I didn't even
mark down when I first used the
phrase. That 2004 link refers to a reference I made in some blog
post a couple of years before - but I haven't tracked that one down -
yet.
Obviously the folks at Yahoo are
gloating over this one.
If you look at the initial set of offerings, it pales to MyYahoo -
but hey, they've had a nine year headstart. Each of the Google
offerings are real meaty, substatntive services, while MOST of the
Yahoo services seem pale and staid in comparison (and certainly
dated.)
But Yahoo can't go out and start buying all these new kind of
services - all over again? Or can they? Flickr and ODDpost are nice
starts.
But shouldn't these next generation portals (we call them DLAs) be
leveraging the islands of functionality independently evolving on
their own - like de.licio.us, webjay and buzznet? Shouldn't a next
generation portal provide incredible rich media interfaces (otherwise
known as Ajax or Laszlo?) Shouldn't a next generation portal provide
ways for ALL OF US to make money?
Well we at ourmedia.org certainly think so.
And all of our clients (who have been keeping me so busy I haven't
been able to blog) think so - too!
And needless to say Yahoo, Google and Microsoft (notice I'm not
even including has-been AOL) don't have a monopoly on DLAs.
What about MTV, EMI or NBC? Or IBM, BEA or Oracle?
Can't this new portal things blow up so huge that we all can
connect our digital IDs to MULTIPLE of these DLAs and smile? Isn't
that what it's all about - making the humans happy?
Looking back on Excite@Home - we can now just chuckle how badly
they blew it. To me - the SBC-Yahoo relationship has it right. Each
partner bring their ex[pertise to the table and provide VALUE to the
humans.
Stuff they pay for.
And so Google finally moves into a new categry - portals - which
Yahoo has owned for years.
Now we get to see what open stgandards they build on - and where
the data silos, propreitary barriers and old school thinking
prevail.
DLAs are based upon the notion of a web of islands, meshed together
by open standards. Those standards become the causeways and bridges
between the islands.
So DLA vendors don't have to go off and buy services - they just
need to support the islands open APIs and schemas welcome them to the
marketplace. And facilitate open conversations.
If I was going to predict - I'll say that Yahoo will lead the way
with Media and Groups standards - while Google will support open
standards around Events and Topics.
I just hope EVDB goes along.

We
tend to stay away from software and service websites, but OurMedia.org
looks to have a lot of promise and we'd like to point it out. The
concept is simple: upload any media, under a variety of open licenses,
to be archived and stored, for free, forever. That means you could
host your podcasts and images and homemade whatever on their servers,
as long as you're willing for the rest of the world to see them.
Definitely a project to keep an eye on. If nothing else, it's a
one-stop shop to load up all these media gadgets.

Here's Peter's post.....
The New WhizSpark is Launched!
Many of you have noticed that we have relaunched WhizSpark, but I am
slowly talking about what we have done via my blog, rather than having
one big announcement that the new WhizSpark is out. The "EXTRA! EXTRA!
days of big website launch announcements, imho, is passe. Although, we
want our subscriber base to take off, unlike many social networking sites, our revenue
is not based on getting everyone and their mother registered (although
it could help). Nevertheless, the main reason that I am pushing it out
slowly is because there are so many features that we've developed and
so many ways that people can derive value from them, that I could
never include it in one post. Additionally, by talking about one
feature at a time, it allows me to solicit advice and feedback from my
extended group of blogging friends. (Plus, instead of focussing on PR,
we are focussing on constantly improving our product and sales.)
Which is why I am building a entrepreneur feedback and favor exchange group.
