Glenn Fleischman interviews Mr. Omninet Phil Belanger for Wi-Fi News: Vivato Unleashed and mines some interesting details about how the Vivato system works. It’s clearly a generation ahead of the other “smart antenna” systems in the works, and stands out for its combination of technology and channel marketing sense. If I were working for a company that thinks it has a smart antenna in the works, I’d be worried, but I’m not, so I’m amused at the prospect of coming trainwrecks. It’s about time Belanger had some success, BTW — he’s been slogging away at LANs since he was at Corvus in the early 80s.
