Cabletron Transformation • Effective March 1, 2000, Cabletron launched four independent operating companies: Enterasys, Aprisma, Riverstone Networks and GlobalNetwork Technology Services. • The companies will begin as independent subsidiaries of Cabletron, which will serve as an umbrella holding company. • Each company will be completely independent with its own products, management, sales, marketing, engineering and back-office functions. • Each company will provide best-of-breed solutions for our customers. • Each company will be free to pursue its own destiny.

  4. The Four Companies • The four companies and their target markets are: • Enterasys will target Enterprise network customers • Aprisma will offer infrastructure management software (Spectrum) for service provider and enterprise network markets • Riverstone Networks will concentrate on the service provider market, including content hosting, ASPs, CLECs, ISPs • GlobalNetwork Technology Services will deliver professional services, including the design and management of enterprise and service provider networks

  5. Goal of the Transformation • To create companies that will provide best-of-breed solutions for our customers • As independent entities these companies • Have the agility to turn technology directions into best-of-breed solutions • Optimize products and services for customers, enabling information technology and infrastructure to become a source of competitive advantage • Specialize in servicing the needs of their customers

  6. Introduction to Wireless Networking • Overview of the Wireless functionality • Applications for Wireless • Introduction to the RoamAbout product’s • Advantages of RoamAbout • ACCESS Computing • Product Demonstration

  7. Why Wireless? • A network that’s reliable and sets up in less than 15 minutes! • Establish instant networks wirelessly in any location • Cost effective, both indoor and outdoor • Roam anywhere and stay connected throughout offices, campuses, etc.

  8. Wireless is a Horizontal market product • Healthcare • Industrial • Government • Enterprise / SOHO / Business Travel / Home

  9. Why Wireless on Campus? • Proliferation of Laptops / PDA’s • Cooperative Learning in a creative, social environment • Libraries • Dormitories • Study Rooms • Cafeterias • Outside • Enhance classroom / lecture learning • Cost effective in classroom, department offices

  10. Why Wireless for Manufacturing? • Mobility of Plant Personnel • Redundancy to Fiber Optic Infrastructure • Warehousing Applications

  11. RoamAbout Wireless LAN Product Family • Complete IEEE 802.11 wireless solutions including: • RoamAbout AccessPoint: Bridges Wireless LAN to standard Ethernet LAN • Wireless adapter cards(PCMCIA): Used in AccessPoints and in PC's • Extended range indoor antenna: Used for workgroup wireless LANs • Directional Antenna:For building to building applications

  12. 802.11 Integrated Radio Transmitter/Receiver • PC Card - 2.4GHz Direct Sequence, Spread Spectrum Technology • PCMCIA Type II extended • External antenna option • LED indication • 5Volt operation Diagnostic LED’s External Antenna connection

  13. New ISA 802.11 Interface Card • Desktop solution • ISA and PCI • Modular • Antenna cable Optional external antenna Note: ISA or PCI adapter need to be installed in PC prior to the installation of the PCI card

  14. RoamAbout AccessPoint “Bridge” • The AccessPoint full-featured bridge that bridges a wired LAN to a wireless LAN • Redundancy through overlapping footprints • allows network integrity and fault tolerance • support for spanning tree • Point-to-point diagnostics / SNMP management
