Nortel Networks Unveils Wireless Access for MSOs

Nortel Networks introduced a wireless access solution that offers cable operators a low-cost alternative for extending the reach of their networks to small businesses. The Wireless LAN Cable Access Point 6220 is a strand-mounted enclosure containing both coaxial-fed cable modem and Wireless LAN (local area network) functionality, allowing a cable operator to point an antenna at a building to deliver secure commercial broadband services. It can be provisioned in hot-spot mode, allowing cable operators to cost-effectively provide public or private wireless Internet zones along their network routes. http://www.nortelnetworks.com
