TANDBERG TANDBERG and Wireless LANs 1. Overview Of Wireless Standards 1.1 802.11 Wireless Ethernet Ethernet was pioneered by Xerox in the 1970’s and was in fact a registered trademark of Xerox Corporation. After further development, the technology was improved and became known as Ethernet II. Xerox, with the help from Digital and Intel began establishing and publishing the standards. Realizing the international community would not recognize the standard, IEEE was charged with formalizi

TANDBERG TANDBERG and Wireless LANs 2. TANDBERG’s Implementation TANDBERG has implemented the 802.11b standard into the TANDBERG 1000 product, using a standard PC card, to deliver 768kbps of exceptional video and audio quality. This feature allows for ‘hot desk’ applications where a video conferencing unit may be shared from desk to desk without the need for expensive Ethernet cabling. 2.1 Supported PC Cards TANDBERG continues to develop drivers for different wireless cards ba

TANDBERG TANDBERG and Wireless LANs 2.2.3 Mode Requirement: Mandatory The mode setting allows for two different modes of operation. Also known as peer to peer and IBSS Ad Hoc. This mode is used when Adhoc: communication is required between two units and an access point is not available. Additionally , if there is no need to communicate with a wired unit on a standard LAN, you can use this option. This is similar to a ‘back to back’ Ethernet cable used to connect two IP enabled

TANDBERG TANDBERG and Wireless LANs the rollout of videoconferencing to be seamless and quick. Wireless LANs offer the following productivity, convenience, and cost advantages over traditional wired networks: : Wireless LAN systems can provide video users with the ability to make • Mobility video calls anywhere in their organization regardless if they have an Ethernet connection in the room. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities not possible with wired networks.
