company's press releases for inclusion on DECTweb 10th August 2000, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Home Wireless Networks' Inc. Proclaims the AirWay System as the world's first complete home and small office network Home Wireless Networks, Inc., has announced that its flagship product, the AirWayTM System, is the world's first Complete Network for homes and small offices. Only AirWay combines the Internet, PC and data functions, and traditional telephone lines into one easy to use system."We are developing our products based on the trends we are seeing in the marketplace," said John Taylor, CEO and Chairman of HWN. "Consumers want a way to simplify their lives. They want a way to control and share all of their communication devices, without having to rely on a PC to handle the communications in their home or office. They want a Complete Network for shared Internet, voice and other applications that's built on a reliable, always-on platform, and that's what the AirWay System provides." Yankee Group analyst Karuna Uppal agrees with Taylor's statement. "Many people are nervous when it comes to doing anything out of the ordinary with their PCs," she said. "PCs will not be the center of the network, since they do not offer the necessary reliability and ease of use. A gateway is essential as soon as you put anything more than two PCs onto a network. With this non-PC-centric approach to networking, and the "Complete" voice and data solution, HWN is clearly headed in the right direction." AirWay is an easy-to-use, easy-to-install solution, complete with three differentiating features that set it apart from other networking devices currently on the market; no other device offers more than two of these features. The AirWay System combines a Shared Internet Gateway, PBX Functionality and a Wireless LAN, forming a Complete Network.
The AirWay System is a combined voice and data network, complete with firewall and internal security measures to protect its users. The system is built around a dedicated network controller, which is an always-on, always available voice switch and TCP/IP router for sharing the Internet wirelessly throughout the home or office. The add-on broadband (DSL, cable modem and other high-speed connections) component, TransPort, will be launched this August, Home Wireless Networks is also a member of WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance), a consortium dedicated to furthering the interoperability of wireless products that follow the IEEE 802.11b standard, which the AirWay TransPort adheres to.
