Chantry Networks' Brian Colllie explains wireless virtualization in the enterprise to reveal path to secure WLAN infrastructures at 10th annual ISPCON
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - October 21, 2003 - Chantry Networks, the provider of the world's first routed wireless LAN solution, BeaconWorks™, will discuss the benefits of virtualization in wireless networks today during the "Virtualization: Taking the Wireless World Beyond Basic Access" conference session at ISPCON Fall 2003 (www.ispcon.com). Chantry's Co-founder and Executive Vice President, Brian Collie, will reveal ways in which virtualization enables enterprises to create separate virtual networks over a single WLAN infrastructure and securely partition a wireless network to deliver independent policies and traffic for separate user groups or service wholesaling. This session will take place at 4:15 p.m. PDT at the Santa Clara Westin & Convention Center.
"Jupiter Research recently predicted as many as 100 million enterprise wireless networks will be deployed by 2008, with security being the primary concern," said Jon Price, president, ISPCON. "Much like security access in large office buildings, such as passkeys for elevators allowing single-floor access and barring access to unauthorized floors, virtualization enables provisioning in your wireless network. Whether you are a convention center, hospital, university or office building, you want to be able to provide differing levels of wireless service to staff, management, students, business partners and visitors. During this session, attendees can tap Brian Collie's more than 20 years of experience in the networking and telecommunications industry to learn how virtualization allows enterprises to sort and class user traffic across wireless networks, and the security benefits of a wireless VPN."
Attendees will also learn how, through the innovation of routing and virtualization over wireless networks, enterprise deployments are benefiting from unmatched scalability and availability - making the adoption of wireless networking faster, easier, and more cost-effective than ever before.
Prior to founding Chantry Networks, Brian Collie was vice president and general manager of Nortel Networks' Wireless LAN & PAN Division, where he was responsible for the vision, strategic direction, major organizational and investment decisions, and day-to-day management of the wireless LAN 802.11b/a, Bluetooth, and wireless voice businesses. As senior business director of Nortel's Internet Solutions Division, Brian founded the company's first Internet group and established an Internet dial-access business. He has held senior positions with Motorola's Internet and Data Networking Group and Bell Canada's Computer Communication Group (CCG).
