Aruba named leader

Aruba Networks, a provider of wireless LANs and secure mobility solutions, has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant in Gartner's 2008 Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure report, states Market Wire.

Gartner's Magic Quadrants evaluate vendors based on the completeness of their vision and ability to execute.

The report notes that "a vendor in the Leaders quadrant needs to have demonstrated an ability to meet a broad variety of customer requirements, including providing an end-to-end infrastructure-based solution and having financial viability to continue that support beyond a single installation".

Celeno Communications, a provider of semiconductors for multimedia WiFi home networking applications, and Cavium Networks, a provider of super-low latency, full-HD H.264 video codecs, are collaborating to fulfil the demand for a robust, low-latency and long-range wireless HDMI solution, says TMCnet.

The joint reference design meets the demand for in-room HDMI cable replacement applications as well as whole-home full-HD video content sharing, using standards-based WiFi networking technology.

The solution enables consumer electronics manufacturers to develop products that support various digital home connectivity use cases.
