Network World's Cisco News Alert

Intel-Cisco deal aims to improve Wi-Fi

By Stephen Lawson
Network World, 09/05/05

A joint development project announced at the recent Fall Intel
Developer Forum by Intel and Cisco could improve the performance
and quality of corporate VoIP networks.

The companies want to ensure Wi-Fi wireless LANs deliver good
VoIP quality and as much data capacity as possible, say
high-level executives at Intel and Cisco. With their domination
of the PC and network equipment industries, the partners are
well positioned to make those capabilities widespread even if
there isn't a formal standards group, according to industry
analysts.

The Business Class Wireless Suite, expected to be available in
the first half of next year, is the first part of a broad
initiative by Intel and Cisco to improve the Wi-Fi experience in
homes and corporations. The companies were vague about that
broader project but gave some details about the first two
results of their cooperation, which is aimed at business users.
