The Devicescape Wireless Infrastructure Platform (WIP) 2.0 lets device makers create full-featured, enterprise-class wireless access points. The features that can be integraed include automatic configuration and management for easy deployment and self-management of access points, and for automatically configuring additional access points as they are added to the network; load balancing for detecting the number of users on each access point and redistributing network traffic as necessary for optimal access point utilization; channel planning for detecting conflicting channel assignments, and automatically reconfiguring the wireless network to avoid interference; and enterprise management to allow WIP-enabled access points to be compatible with open network standards including SNMP, and to integrate seamlessly with existing management platforms, such as HP OpenView and IBM Tivoli. The WIP operates with the Linux operating system. For more information, visit www.devicescape.com.
