CIOL : News : Motorola works on design to lure mkts: "The black V80, which will retail for about $300 before operator subsidies, includes a translucent border that allows the display of colored lights that can pulse to sound, as well as integrated Bluetooth technology, a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with each other.
The V180 and V220, which includes an integrated camera, will be sold in all markets starting in the second quarter, Motorola said. The clamshell phones, both with color screens, could sell for as little as $50 once operator subsidies are included. "

Motorola Canopy(TM) ACSP in Bangladesh Offers High Available, Wireless Broadband Service
Wednesday February 4, 11:00 am ET
Canopy Equipment Proves Reliable in Overcrowded Wireless Space


DHAKA, Bangladesh, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pervez Sajjad spent three years attempting to deploy wireless broadband service in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a city of about 4 million people where no standard Digital Service Line (DSL) service exists. Non line-of-sight wireless infrastructure proved to be too costly for Sajjad, managing director of Ektoo, Ltd., so he turned to Motorola's Canopy solution and quickly became an Authorized Canopy Solution Provider (ACSP) in Bangladesh.

"Motorola provided us key differentiating factors that made my job of deciding on the Canopy products an easy one," said Sajjad. "It required a very low initial investment as well as low expansion costs; it is high performance and has high bandwidth, which allows for a low per megabit cost; it has outstanding range; it is interference resistant and it has name brand recognition in Motorola."

Ektoo installed six 5.7GHz Canopy access points strategically centered in Dhaka, giving him coverage throughout the city limits and in some neighboring towns.

"We offer high available premium bandwidth catering to businesses, cyber cafes and corporate and service provider customers," said Sajjad. "These customers appreciate the high availability of our service delivered via Canopy because the smallest downtime directly impacts their revenue stream. We may have set a record in Dhaka by having zero downtime in three months. People here are used to experiencing outages on an hourly and daily basis. Motorola Canopy equipment completely resolves those problems and our customers recognize that," said Sajjad.

"We were able to supply Ektoo, Ltd., a Motorola wireless broadband solution that has proven reliable, scalable and cost effective in a city that has no standard DSL service but that is inundated with Internet Service Providers competing for customers," said Dennis Stipati, director of international markets for Motorola Canopy Wireless Broadband group.

Motorola offers wireless broadband products in 2.4GHz, 5.2GHz and 5.7GHz spectrums. Canopy products are deployed in more than 70 countries on six continents. For more information about Motorola Canopy products and service offerings, please visit www.motorola.com/canopy.

Wi-Fi Protected Access™ Security Sees Strong Adoption

Wi-Fi Alliance Takes Strong Position by Requiring WPA Security for Product Certification

Mountain View, CA, February 3, 2004 - The Wi-Fi Alliance announced today that over 175 products from over 40 of the world’s leading technology manufacturers have received Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security certification since testing began in April of 2003. WPA is the current state-of-the-art wireless LAN security technology. The Wi-Fi Alliance has taken the proactive move of requiring WPA for all Wi-Fi® certifications awarded since September 2003. A useful online resource for Wi-Fi Protected Access security can be found at www.wi-fi.org/wpa.

Wi-Fi Protected Access is the security replacement for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Since WEP can be compromised, it should not be considered a secure mechanism to protect Wi-Fi wireless LAN traffic. The Wi-Fi Alliance recommends that WPA be enabled in wireless LAN applications where data security is a concern. WPA has proven to be a very secure and easily implemented security solution. WEP should only be used when a more secure wireless LAN security solution is not available.

“Wi-Fi Protected Access meets the wireless LAN security needs of both enterprises and individuals,” said Wi-Fi Alliance Managing Director, Frank Hanzlik. “This is a very robust, cross vendor interoperable security technology that is both easier to install than its flawed predecessor WEP and far more secure. The Wi-Fi Alliance recommends that WEP be dropped in favor of WPA for applications as soon as feasible.”

“Wi-Fi Protected Access establishes a strong foundation for secure wireless LAN connections. There are also plans to add additional security capabilities to WPA with the next version of WPA called WPA2. Products certified for WPA2 are anticipated to be available in the middle of 2004. However, users need not wait for WPA2. WPA2 is an enhancement, but most business and personal security needs are met by WPA today,” Hanzlik added.

Industry analysts have also found that Wi-Fi Protected Access and Wi-Fi certification have had a positive impact on the security of Wi-Fi technology. Synergy Research has observed that, “Until recently, depressed IT spending had a significant negative impact on the market for enterprise wireless products. Furthermore, security has also been a major concern with Enterprise IT professionals, which has also slowed adoption. However, now that the Wi-Fi Protected Access security solution is available, Synergy has seen a marked increase in Enterprise WLAN sales.”

The first WPA certifications were announced in April of 2003, and the certification saw very rapid adoption by wireless LAN vendors prior to it becoming a mandatory feature in September 2003. The Wi-Fi Alliance made Wi-Fi Protected Access security a requirement for Wi-Fi certification due to the importance of security to the end users. It is also important to recognize that Wi-Fi certification is the only way to be sure that wireless LAN products from different vendors and even the same vendor will work together.

The Wi-Fi Alliance currently performs four independent interoperability certifications including IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and Wi-Fi Protected Access in addition to a combination of all of these technologies. Wi-Fi Protected Access has been required for all certification combinations since September of 2003. A searchable database of Wi-Fi Alliance certifications can be found at www.wi-fi.org/certified_products.

Products awarded the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo have undergone rigorous independent testing at one of four labs in Tokyo, Japan; San Jose, California; Winnersh, UK; or Taipei, Taiwan. The Wi-Fi interoperability certification program has become the international standard for providing high-quality interoperability testing for IEEE 802.11-based products.

About the Wi-Fi Alliance

The Wi-Fi Alliance (formerly WECA) is the global Wi-Fi organization that created the Wi-Fi brand. A nonprofit organization, the Alliance was formed in 1999 to certify interoperability of IEEE 802.11 products and to promote them as the global, wireless LAN standard across all market segments.

The Wi-Fi Alliance has instituted a test suite that defines how member products are tested to certify that they are interoperable with other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products. These tests are conducted at an independent laboratory.

Membership in the Wi-Fi Alliance is open to all companies that support the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. The Wi-Fi Alliance now comprises over 200 members from the world’s leading companies. These companies offer over 1,000 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products. For more information, please visit www.wi-fi.org, and for information on Wi-Fi ZONE™ public access locations go to www.wi-fizone.org.

Wireless content gets new security spec

The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) has announced the Digital Rights Management
2.0 Enabler Release, a set of interoperability standards for protecting
games, audio, and video content from piracy over wireless devices. Version
2.0 offers improved support for streaming content and access via multiple
devices. OMA believes that the stronger encryption and security of the
standard will convince companies to produce more content for mobile
devices. A group of interested companies, including Intel, mm02, Nokia,
Panasonic, RealNetworks, Samsung, and Warner Brothers, have formed a
Content Management License Administrator coalition to oversee licensing and
dissemination of keys and certificates to vendors. A number of companies
have released their own incompatible digital rights management solutions,
creating confusion for consumers.

CommsDesign - Wireless LAN braintrust defecting to UWB as shakeout looms

Wireless LAN braintrust defecting to UWB as shakeout looms
By Patrick Mannion

EE Times
Jan 30, 2004

MANHASSET, N.Y. — Calling ultrawideband technology "the next frontier of wireless," Matthew Shoemake is leaving his post as chair of the nascent IEEE 802.11n high-rate wireless LAN task group to head the latest UWB startup, WiQuest.

Shoemake's move, reflecting his view that the standards group is bogged down, follows the lead of Jim Lansford, another longtime WLAN proponent. Lansford jumped from his position as chief technology officer at Mobilian Corp. to take the same post at Time Domain UWB spinoff Alereon Inc. Mobilian specialized in wireless LAN and Bluetooth coexistence, and Lansford jumped just as Intel was completiing its acquisition of the company.

Both WiQuest and Alereon are among a growing list of small startups to join the Multiband-OFDM Alliance (MBOA), which currently includes more than 50 companies.

Just imagine a Pocket PC phone that has built-in Bluetooth, SDIO card slot but also a CF (Compact Flash) card slot. It´s ETEN P700 ! Eten is a company that is very experienced in making Pocket PC phones - they are producing Pocket PC phones already for a longer time...

Well, in some places entrance with a camera phone is forbidden, so the fact that this phone has no built-in camera is not a problem.

For those who have savored the freedom of wireless networks, whether at home, at the office or in an Internet cafe, wires and cables may seem like obsolete relics from the earliest days of personal computing. But even networked homes usually maintain one tether to the past: the printer cable.
It does not have to be that way. Today you can not only print wirelessly from the living room sofa or the kitchen table, but also wirelessly share a single printer among several computers. That way, the printer can be stored anywhere in the house -- centrally located for convenient access, or tucked out of sight. As a bonus, most of the options for wireless printing, from print servers to Bluetooth modules to printers with Wi-Fi technology already built in, are relatively easy to set up."
