How NOT to Market WiFi in Libraries

How NOT to Market WiFi in Libraries 12/12/2003 10:21 AM

Marketing Wireless in Libraries

"Someone on Web4Lib asked about posting symbols or signage to identify wireless access in libraries. This is a slightly revised version of my reply on the list, sent after several folks referred the original poster to the wireless warchalking symbols popular among the digerati.

Essentially, this is basic library marketing 101. If you're planning to market wireless services not only to the folks who will seek it, but to folks who would either find a way to use it if they knew what it was or may never even use it but will mentally file this service under 'what a great library this is,' then integrate the fancy symbols with very plainspoken, large, plain-lettered wording. Go to a site that offers wireless for its customers and see how they peddle it. (Remember, that's what you're doing: selling a service.)

Make the language achingly clear. 'Wireless hotspot' comes to mind... but maybe something else makes more sense locally. Assuming you have a bookmark or brochure advertising this service, repeat the logo and the phrase throughout the materials. I know that libraries offer things for free anyway, but why not push that as well? Wireless--FREE!...

Or you could practice another kind of library marketing, and either put up one tiny, very obscure sign, or make it very large and then title it 'Bibligraphic WEP-enabled 802.11* Access.' And in your assessment of the service, observe that very few people use it. ;) " [Free Range Librarian]

I just had to blog Karen's response because it's so true it's tragically funny.

How To Lose The WiFi Market: Forget That

How To Lose The WiFi Market: Forget That
Competition Exists 08/27/2004 02:00 PM
Agere, a spinoff of Lucent (itself a spinoff of AT&T), helped define and create the WiFi market, but now holds a fairly small portion of the market, and is the number five seller of WiFi chips. In taking a look at how Agere "lost" the WiFi market, it simply appears that they weren't ready for competition from plenty of other companies -- including a company with a lot more money: Intel. While the article makes some suggestions (confusion after spinning off their WiFi product business to focus on just chips, taking their eye off the ball to focus on not going bankrupt), the more realistic explanation simply seems to be that they didn't expect as much competition in the marketplace as they received. If anything, it sounds like, by "inventing" the market, they expected to keep it forever. They also seem particularly miffed at Intel's marketing campaign to co-opt WiFi into their Centrino brand -- leading many people to believe that Intel created WiFi. When you're blaming your competitor's ability to outmarket you as the reason you lost a market (especially when it's an emerging market), it suggests the company simply wasn't prepared to compete at all.

The open wireless node can be found in the first car of the last morning train and in Car 403 on the 5:10pm return trip. Use SSID "FreeInternetAccess" or "seattlewireless" to connect - You may have to assign yourself an IP in the range 192.168.0.0/24 and use the Default Gateway 192.168.0.1 as the DHCP is sometimes flakey

Cisco May Buy Airespace

Cisco May Buy Airespace 01/06/2005 09:59 AM
I've been saying it for months and months: It's been crystal clear to me that Cisco did not have an internal WLAN switch strategy, and has its biggest problems in dealing with issues that switches can solve, which is policy-based VLAN assignment for WLAN users across network segments. News.com reports that a deal may be in the work for Cisco to buy Airespace, which is the leading marketshare vendor among the startup switch makers with seven percent of the market. I've thought Airespace was a 100-percent Cisco target, and am just surprised its taken this long to hear about a deal firming up. Cisco's intelligence is in the access point, which means that hand-offs are coordinated at the AP level, making VLAN roaming and other related issues pushed out to the edge or handled by Ethernet switches, which doesn't work very well for mobile users. Airespace handles the logical part of this in the switch: the AP is a radio with some intelligence, but it's not the smartest part of the network. Cisco has obviated some of its shortcomings in this area--and, of course, it has massive strengths in other areas--by turning WLSE, its centralized management tool, into as much of a switch-like controller for signal strength and other factors as it can.

Airespace Teams with IBM 09/17/2004 12:24 PM
Airespace, the wireless LAN switch maker, formed a partnership with IBM: The deal will open the door for Airespace to market its products to IBM customers. Among startup WLAN switch vendors, Airespace has scored some notable deals. It has OEM agreements with Alcatel, Nortel, NEC, and a co-development deal with D-Link. Some other switch makers have also scored big-name deals as well. Trapeze recently announced that it formed an OEM deal with 3Com that is expected to blossom into a co-development relationship. Observers have been expecting a shake-out in the WLAN switch market essentially since the segment was born because it appears that there are too many startups for the market to support. Partnerships with big-name vendors certainly adds credibility to the startups which can in turn help them raise financing and potentially stay in business....

Airespace Offers MIMO

Airespace Offers MIMO 05/25/2004 01:30 PM
Airespace will offer multiple-in, multiple-out antennas for its access points later this year: The Intelligent RF Access Point (IRAP) will ship third quarter, and uses the MIMO technology to extend range. MIMO was pioneered by Airgo, which has not supplied the technology for IRAP; Airgo expects to have manufacturers incorporating their MIMO reference design in the next few months. MIMO uses multiple input and output antennas to better sort out actual signal from noise, which can effectively extend range. It works best in combination with both client adapter and access point incorporating MIMO, but there are benefits for an access point by itself. Airespace is effectively either reducing the number of access points an enterprise needs (although raising its per unit price tag), or offering better overlapping coverage in the same areas increasing throughput for a network....

3Com, Trapeze Team Up

3Com, Trapeze Team Up 08/16/2004 07:48 PM
3Com's decision to partner with Trapeze on WLAN switches may be further evidence that the WLAN switch is here to stay: 3Com said today that it formed a partnership with Trapeze which will initially be an OEM agreement but in the future will migrate into a co-development relationship. 3Com also expects to include Trapeze software into some of its platforms. "The growth of this market is very attractive," said Brent Nixon, director of product management for 3Com. He expects the WLAN switch market to continue to grow and believes that having a switch will allow 3Com to better target the educational, healthcare, enterprise, and public access markets. The WLAN switch market started out as an industry crowded with startups and many experts said the market was likely to consolidate. So far, however, the switch makers aren't being bought up by more established players nor are they going out of business. They are getting creative though. AirFlow, for example, stopped making its switch and said it would instead try to license its software to former competitors or other vendors. Airespace made a deal with NEC where NEC is selling a converged wireless voice and data platform that incorporates Airespace's WLAN switch. Airespace also has OEM agreements with Alcatel and Nortel and a co-development deal with D-Link. 3Com said it has a number of reasons for wanting to partner with Trapeze rather than develop its own WLAN switch, buy a startup, or form a basic OEM deal. "We feel that by a partnership relationship, Trapeze will be focused on maintaining their advantage in the market," Nixon said. He also thinks that a partnership will allow 3Com to reach the market faster than if it developed its own product or bought a startup. A basic OEM relationship would also fall short of what 3Com was looking for. "If you just go with a straight OEM relationship, you don't quite get the synergies you get from a true partnership," he said. The relationship is not exclusive and Trapeze doesn't expect the co-development aspect of the deal to interfere with the possibility of OEM deals with other vendors, said Dan Simone, co-founder and vice president of product management for Trapeze. Once the companies start working closely to develop products, they will aim to integrate the wireless switch technology into 3Com's networking technologies. "We'll get the technologies to work closely together over wireless so that it's...
