Am I trying to be funny!? Despite the billions of dollars invested in cellular infrastructure, there are still apparent voids in coverage. Are these actually voids in signal coverage, or is there another problem with the connection? http://oberonwireless.com/blog.php Sat, 15 October 2011 10:02:10 -0500 August, 2011 - When Oberon, Inc. introduced the Model 1070 Mounted Zone Telecommunications Enclosure in October of 2009, the idea intrigued the networking community. By locating Ethernet switches, patch panels, wireless controllers, and other networking and A/V components directly in the space where they are needed, the enclosures can be used to shorten home-runs, improve data rate and network capacity, and reduce crowding in the telecommunications room. http://oberonwireless.com/press-release.php#breakingfree Wed, 31 August 2011 1037:15 -0500 July, 2011 - Today at Cisco Live, Cisco's annual IT and communications conference, Oberon, Inc. presented new additions to its line of secure, convenient, aesthetic enclosures and mounting solutions for wireless access points and telecommunications equipment. http://oberonwireless.com/press-release.php#ciscolive Mon, 11 July 2011 1037:15 -0500 July, 2011 - As of May 2011, Oberon, Inc., State College PA, has continuously supplied wireless infrastructure components for the Military Health System Cyber-infrastructure Service (MCiS), and its predecessors, for 5 years.

Oberon's products are used to provide a standardized installation component for wireless local area networks, which are being deployed across Military Health System hospitals worldwide. http://oberonwireless.com/press-release.php#mhs Wed, 6 July 2011 12:48:15 -0500 June 26, 2011 - Cell phones were originally designed for voice communications over the public cellular networks. Over time, Bluetooth wireless connectivity was added for convenience and connectivity to accessories. More recently, Wi-Fi has been integrated into some phones, and into most smart phones. The problem with W-Fi is that the protocol itself was envisioned by the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN architects as a convenient wireless replacement for cables in an Ethernet network, wherein the Wi-Fi semiconductors could be powered by the PC's power supply or a laptop computers large battery. Power efficiency was not a primary factor in the original Wi-Fi architecture. So when Wi-FI chips designed for laptops are integrated into cell phones or smart phones they tend to draw an undesirable amount of power from the cell phones small battery. http://oberonwireless.com/blog5.php Sun, 26 June 2011 10:02:10 -0500 June, 2011 - Oberon, Inc. has joined Extreme Networks as a Go Purple^TM Solutions Partner.

The Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation (JCAHO) has established rules for mitigating the spread of disease, limiting access to the air-handling "plenum" space. Procedures may restrict the number of ceiling tiles that can be removed, how long they are removed, and procedures for cleaning the air and personnel in the work area. Infection control risk assessment (ICRA) procedures have a serious impact on cabling installation, moves, adds, and changes. http://oberonwireless.com/press-release.php#diseasecontrol Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:08:35 -0500 February, 2011 - Wireless access point manufacturers often recommend that the access point be mounted in a horizontal orientation to achieve best wireless coverage. While this orientation is easily achieved by mounting the access point on the ceiling, in some hard lid and other environments, ceiling mounts are not possible. In cases where wall mounting is necessary, it can be difficult to achieve the proper horizontal alignment in a secure configuration. http://oberonwireless.com/press-release.php#model1029 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 11:15:22 -0500 November, 2010 — Early this year, Cisco Systems, Inc. released a forecast which should really catch the attention of any individual in the data communications industry. The forecast predicts that global mobile data traffic will more than double every year, from now until 2014, reaching a stunning 3.6 Exabytes (EB) of data per month. Even the name "Exabyte" sounds formidable, but what is it? An Exabyte is 1015 bytes of data, or a billion Megabytes. This prodigious number will have grown from a "miniscule" 0.09 EB of global mobile data in 2009. http://oberonwireless.com/blog.php#exabytes Tue, 16 Nov 2010 12:01:22 -0500 November, 2010 — As hospitals and health care facilities seek to upgrade technology in order to improve efficiency and provide new services, implementation of wireless networking systems become increasingly complex.
