Interop New York Exposition 2009 News and Reviews

user-pic

There's never a question as to whether a virtual experience can come close to being at a conference in person.

Nevertheless, with corporate budgets as they are, we found in our 2009 Network Plans and Priorities Mid-year Update that "conferences requiring travel" had the most severe cutbacks.  Consequently, we're offering this series of updates in order for those attending to share their experiences and for those who arenot able to attend to get the inside scoop.

So we invite exhibitors to share your news.  (Feel free to embed hyperlinks.) 

And we invite readers - whether present at the show or not - to comment on the announcements and to ask probing questions.

It can become a challenging conversation with bosses when your securing clients environments with everything from Wireless to Webinars to Web Conferencing. Then have to travel to hear about what "might" take place 2nd Quarter of 2010, doesn't go over well. Plus I don't want to read "watered down" ad blitz from Main stream Tech sources. But I do want to hear from the potential new Stars in our industry.
Excellent observation, John! I hope the exhibitors will take your comments to heart and provide some "straight talk" for us.

BVS Adds Further 802.11n Capability to Yellowjacket b/a/n/g Tablet Analyzer

Interop, NYC - November 18, 2009 -- Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc., a leading provider of advanced wireless solutions and products to the domestic and international wireless telecommunications industry, today announced the company has updated its Yellowjacket b/a/n/g Tablet Analyzer for 802.11n WiFi networks. BVS will demo the Yellowjacket’s enhanced 802.11bang capabilities at Booth #754 at Interop New York from November 18-19, 2009 at Jacob Javits Convention Center.
802.11n networks have increasingly become complex to deploy. Therefore the wireless tools to measure and monitor RF performance have had to advance proportionally. Since 802.11n has been ratified in recent months prices for Access Points and 802.11n network cards have been dropping as a result of widespread adoption. Consumers demand for throughput and higher data rates require a comprehensive hand-held solution that can perform 802.11n Greenfield, Physical Layer, and advanced Security measurements. IEEE 802.11n has distinct advantages over the previous 802.11b & 802.11g standards in that it has added (MIMO) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output and 40 MHz channels to the physical (PHY) layer. MIMO technology uses multiple antennas that provide more information over that of a single antenna. The use of antenna diversity and spatial multiplexing provide significant improvements in performance.
“The Yellowjacket b/a/n/g Tablet Analyzer along with the Swarm mapping software is uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive WiFi measurements making it the single tool sought after by IT Managers and Security personnel. We have appreciated a surge in orders across several market segments with the addition of the 802.11n measurements,” said Scott Schober, President and CEO, Berkeley Varitronics Systems. “Carmine Caferra, BVS’ Northeastern USA and Canadian Regional Sales Manager, will showcase the Yellowjacket b/a/n/g Tablet Analyzer and it’s advanced features at the Interop Show in NYC November 18/19th at booth number 754.”
