University selects Motorola for WiFi

Scientel Wireless, a technology services company and member of Motorola's PartnerSelect programme, has deployed a campus-wide Motorola wireless network at Lewis University, says FoxBusiness.

Motorola's latest mesh, point-to-multipoint, wireless LAN and Motorola AirDefence wireless security technologies are delivering cost-effective, reliable and secure broadband coverage from the classrooms to outdoor sporting arenas to the Lewis University airport.

"Having a reliable and secure WiFi network both indoors and outdoors has enabled our faculty and students to work and study in a different way. They no longer have to be tethered to a wired connection, making it easier to meet in study groups, quickly connect with faculty members or access information online," says John Dalby, chief information technology officer, Lewis University.

Cisco Systems originally launched its EnergyWise technology last month which is already proven to reduce power consumption for Internet Protocol devices, states News Oxy.

The new technology demonstrates how intelligent middleware and networking can support a low-carbon economy while reducing energy costs.

"Cisco also announced industry partner solutions along with an intelligent middleware acquisition that will ultimately enable the management of power consumption for entire building systems such as lights, elevators, air conditioning and heating," a Cisco spokesperson said in a statement.

Broadcom, a provider of semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, unveiled two low-power, dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) physical layer devices that leverage the company's digital signal processing (DSP) technology, reports FOXBusiness.

These are the industry's first 65nm CMOS all-DSP 10GbE serial transceivers that enable IT professionals to preserve existing fibre infrastructures by providing a low cost upgrade path from 1GbE to 10GbE.

"As 10GbE technology becomes more cost-effective, and with the adoption of newer technologies such as SFP+, we are well positioned to expand our market leadership by leveraging our broad and field proven Ethernet product portfolio and superior technology," said Lorenzo Longo, vice-president and GM for Broadcom's High Speed Interconnect Products line of business.
