New Sputnik Access Point Achieves Orbit

You've got an enterprise. Your enterprise has a network. You want to go wireless, but you want to manage the unwired parts of your network as well as you manage the wired parts. Maybe even better.

An inexpensive answer comes in the form of Sputnik's new AP 120, an intelligent wireless access point (WAP) that lets you know who is on your wireless network, and how much they're using it, through Sputnik Central Control software.

(Sputnik, by the way, is the company started last year by David LaDuke, David Sifry and Arthur Tyde -- the same guys who founded LinuxCare.)

Both the AP 120 and Sputnik Central Control softare run on Linux, and are available both through the Sputnik site and OEM channels.
