WLAN Switch in an Access Point

WLAN Switch in an Access Point 03/29/2005 11:28 AM
Xirrus launches its wireless LAN array: In a briefing last week, Xirrus executives explained that their product combines the utility of a wireless LAN switch with a single footprint that can coordinate frequency and signal pattern across as many as 16 channels using a combination of 802.11a and 802.11b/g with sectorized antennas. Gigabit Ethernet carries the traffic to and from the array; a redundant failover Gigabit Ethernet port and a 10/100 management port ensures throughput. The WLAN array comes in three configuration: four ports, eight ports, or 16 ports (models XS-3500, XS-3700, XS-3900). All three models can work in 802.11a, b, or g mode for each radio, with up to 12 for 802.11a and up to four for 802.11b/g. Xirrus has baseband-level control of the radios which allows them to adaptively and dynamically change the signal strength and antenna scope. Because they're sectorized, that means each radio can serve a greater distance if needed than the typical indoor omnidirectional antenna--or back off as the RF environment requires. The arrays have what are now required features of any switch: VLANs, multiple SSIDs per switch (up to 16), QoS, and assignment to VLAN based on authentication, SSID, or other factors. One of the radios on any model can be set to work as a monitor for security threats, like rogue access points. The arrays can be managed using Layer 3 tunneling with a centralized platform, the XM-3300, which can handle up to 500 WLAN arrays. Because there's an extra 10/100 interface, the management can be entirely out of band of the actual network traffic. The arrays are powered with 48-volt DC which requires either direct electrical wiring for an AC adapter or the use of DC power over Ethernet--not the standard kind, but their 48-volt variety--that ties into their Remote Power System (XP-3100) at over 300 feet of Cat 5 Ethernet cable. The Xirrus array is the logical extension of the WLAN switch concept. One of the early gating factors for WLAN switching was the necessity for all traffic to be routed from an access point back via Ethernet to a physical switch which had to manage all the data coming and going. While this added the benefit of VLAN-based roaming that was independent of a physical switch location, it also tied bandwidth to the computational and switching capacity of that centralized switch device. (Symbol's first "access port" system had only...

http://www.hero.ac.uk/

Given the wide range of higher education opportunities in the United Kingdom, it stands to reason that there would be a website committed to serving as a primary portal for related materials. The site is organized into six zones, including research, studying, business, culture and sport, and two others. Some highlights of the site include the Research Assessment Exercise (which gives ratings to academic departments within Britain's universities and their research productivity), information for international students, and an important reference section. The reference section itself includes a glossary of terms (of which there are many within the lingua franca of higher education in the UK), listings of groups and organizations working in the same arena, and a listing of facilities at different institutions. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. [From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Business opportunities of the Long Tail

Business opportunities of the Long Tail 03/19/2005 02:46 AM

I'm sitting here listening to Chris Anderson discuss the various aspects and insights he has into the 'long tail' phenomena.

I find this stuff fascinating - not from a macro-economic POV - but from the gut level validation of all my ideas and feelings - over the past 25 years. It just makes sense to associate yourself with the niche players and small entities - than bother with the big boys.

I've always felt that way.....

It's amazing to see it evolve into an entire school of thought.

---

So now Chris is talking ot Joe Kraus - who started Excite (and admits why the failed at Excite) and comparing it to JotSpot - which he calls a 'long tail' business.

I wonder how Chris considers JotSpot 'long tail'?

I think I'll ask him that question.

- self service - lowering the cost of customer acquisition?
- end-user created apps and a marketplace for those apps (JotSpot as a platform?)
- something about Wikis and collaboration?

---

FOLLOW-UP: Joe concurs that all Long Tail plays should be platforms - and markeplaces. I totally agree! That's the model for success in the Long Tail.

Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, author of the international best-selling business book “The Goal” made an unrefusable offer to CEO, Presidents, and Business Owners attending the April 5th Viable Vision Offer Event in Bogota. His offer – apply for a “Viable Vision” and he will send someone to collect the data from your company, devise your Viable Vision, then spend 2 hours discussing YOUR company and Viable Vision for no additional charge. No strings, the only catch was that the top executive had to be in attendance to be eligible for the free vision work. Twenty-four executives out of the approximately 40 that were in attendance took Dr Goldratt up on his offer before leaving the event. Goldratt expects that several more applications will be received in the coming weeks as executives have an opportunity to discuss the concepts with their teams. [PRWEB Apr 8, 2005]

Lightweight Business Models

Lightweight Business Models 09/22/2004 11:17 PM

The workshop that Jason Fried and myself will be giving at Web 2.0 is entitled "Lightweight Business Models". I'm liking that title more and more as we approach the event.

What will be interesting to see - will be all the Web 1.0 folks meeting all the Web 2.0 folks. Lots of announcements, schmoozing, networking and (hopefully) kai-seki.

I have these vivid memories of the Nikko - doing kai-seki for hours with various Japanese emissaries in the late 80's - when money was no object.

I don't necessarily see the Web 2.0 as a platform with JUST eBay, Amazon or Google - but it's nice to have them there. But it's also nice to have Technorati, Sxip and Flickr.

:-)

The idea of workshop is that there are all these 'little' programs out there that when connected together (via open standards) can create a decentralized mesh of functionality united around new kinds of micro-content.

Here's John Battelle's post....

Over at O'Reilly, Tim's posted his thoughts on why Web 2.0 is a meme with legs, and he's inviting feedback from his readers on what they'd like to see asked of all the speakers we have coming to converse. I'd like to do the same - you guys have always kept me honest, and the conference is really shaping up to be something else again. As Tim puts it:

I'm talking about the emergence of what I've started to call Web 2.0, the internet as platform. We heard about that idea back in the late 90s, at the height of the browser wars, but that turned out to be a false alarm. But I believe we're now starting the third age of the internet -- the first being the telnet-era command line internet, the second the web -- and the third, well, that tale grows in the telling. It's about the way that open source and the open standards of the web are commoditizing many categories of infrastructure software, driving value instead to the data and business processes layered on top of (or within) that software; it's about the way that web sites like eBay, Amazon, and Google are becoming platforms with rich add-on developer communities; it's about the way that network effects and data, rather than software APIs, are the new tools of customer lock-in; it's about the way that to be successful, software today needs to work above the level of a single device; it's about the way that the Microsofts and Intels of tomorrow are once again going to blindside established players because all the rules of business are changing.

Time and again as I report in this space, I'm struck by how different this time round is from the late 1990s. For example, today I spoke with Jeff Weber, who runs USAToday's digital publishing efforts, and we had a robust conversation about publishing models, new and old. I was part of the first wave of "new media" in the 90s, and we were convinced that the world was changing, but wrong in the timing and execution. Now, a whole host of "lightweight publishers" have sprung up, and they are challenging and undermining the entire cost structure and business model of old line publishers. This time, it's real. Weber pointed out to me that Yahoo News, which is twice as big as USAToday.com, and has just 11 employees. Then there's craigslist, with more traffic than nearly anyone, and only 20 or so employees. How do they do that? They've got a very Web 2.0, lightweight business model, that's how (and Yahoo aggregates content, then creates interfaces, of course). Over and over, in so many aspects of industry, we see this happening - travel, finance, media, entertainment, retail. It's exciting, and it's fun.

At Web 2.0, we're going to talk about all this, and (this will be the last time, I promise) I'd really like to see you all there. I still have a limited number of discount codes to dole out, first come, first served (jbat at battellemedia dot com). The event is October 5-7, in San Francisco at the Hotel Nikko.

Even if you can't make it, check out the program and let me know what you'd like to see asked of the speakers. I hope to see you there!

New Business Models For The Music
Industry?

New Business Models For The Music
Industry? 09/15/2004 04:23 AM
NPR is running a three-part series looking at potential new business models for the music industry in the face of the ongoing changes brought about by digital technologies for the creation and distribution of music. The three business models are all interesting, and some are already being tried, but it seems unlikely that any will get all that far. The first goes back to times past and looks at the idea of "patronage." The idea is to get a wealthy individual (or, more likely, company) to pay for musical output. The NPR piece suggests that this could be modified as a way for hardcore fans to repay a band, but another interesting concept could be corporate sponsorship. The second idea is bringing back the always popular, but often discr edited, idea of micropayments. Without rehashing all the old arguments, micropayments only work in some very specific circumstances, and do more to shrink a musicians potential market than to grow it. The final idea is some sort of general tax on ISPs, which has strong proponents but raises all sorts of problems concerning why some users are subsidizing others and who gets how much money. Of course, there are other business models that could work today, don't require a huge change in the way things are done, and gives people real value for their money: recognize that the music is a promotional tool for other stuff (professional liner notes, fan clubs, concert tickets, clothing, access to the band, backstage passes, you name it) and suddenly the state of the recording industry doesn't seem so dire.

The launch of Orkut has re-ignited the debates about whether or not there's any money in this whole "social networking" game.
