"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... Foreign funds pat PC for trapeze actForeign funds pat PC for trapeze act 07/11/2004 08:40 PM Calcutta Telegraph Jul 11 2004 11:50PM GMT Trapeze Brings Cisco APs into SwitchTrapeze Brings Cisco APs into Switch 04/18/2005 02:47 PM Trapeze has added support for several Cisco APs: WIth a command-line change, a Cisco AiroNet 350, 1100, or 1200 can be part of a Trapeze-managed WLAN switched network. This should make it an easier sell for Trapeze VARs walking into Cisco-oriented enterprises, especially with Cisco VARs and direct sales folk trying to push new Airespace equipment into existing installations. This announcement ranks up there with AirWave's recent 3.1 version bump that allows AirWave's software management tool for WLANs to handle Cisco Airespace devices, too.... Aruba, Maybe Trapeze Go Open SourceAruba, Maybe Trapeze Go Open Source 03/14/2005 05:46 PM Aruba will release some of its access-point code under open-source licenses: Trapeze may follow: Peter Judge at Techworld reports the fascinating news that Aruba wants more Atheros-based access points to incorporate their secret sauce by making it no longer secret. They'll post source code on Sourceforge under open-source copyright agreements. This commodifies the AP, pushing Aruba's intelligence entirely into the controlling switch and reducing overall cost of management. Judge reports that Trapeze is expected to make a similar announcement. Now wait a minute, your grizzled editor thinks to himself aloud, scratching his head, where have I heard this model before? Oh, yes: Sputnik. Sputnik's first centralized management software release through its current one relies on firmware incorporated into access points that they make available at no charge to commoditize the AP and put value into the central controller. But Sputnik is a management tool; Aruba is a switch vendor. It's interesting to see the model recapitulate itself. Update: NetGear will pursue Aruba certification for their access points, Tom's Networking reports.... Trapeze Upgrades Switch SolutionTrapeze Upgrades Switch Solution 12/18/2003 03:39 PM Like other WLAN switch vendors, Trapeze has come out with some upgrades that address shortcomings indicated by the market: Trapeze access points now support 802.11g and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption keys, which are part of the 802.11i security spec in progress. (WPA includes only TKIP keys, far superior to WEP, but not as good as AES for government-grade operations.) The access points can also connect directly to an existing switch or a Trapeze switch so customers have more options in how they architect the network. The platform now can also continuously scan the air for rogue APs. Once rogues are found, it identifies their locations on a network map. Trapeze also integrated with SpectraLink's voice over Wi-Fi solution so the platform will support the solution. Trapeze has already integrated with Vocera and Telesym, other voice over Wi-Fi vendors.... Calif. College to Get WLAN From TrapezeCalif. College to Get WLAN From Trapeze 12/03/2003 02:41 PM Ohlone College in Fremont Calif. is building a WLAN using gear from switch maker Trapeze: The network should cover the campus by the middle of next year. Ohlone wanted a network that could support 802.1X including AES, and the Trapeze system could support that level of security. (Glenn's mom used to take classes at Ohlone, which had--maybe still has--a beautifully but spread-out campus that's just ideal for Wi-Fi connectivity: lots of high points and many buildings.)...
