WIRELESS NEWS-17 October 2004-Industry Events: Vivato and IBAX Provide Wi-Fi Coverage at International Boat Show (C)2004 10Meters - http://www.10meters.com

IBAX s.c.r.l. and Vivato, a Wi-Fi systems infrastructure company, announced the first European installation of Vivato's Wi-Fi system in Genoa at the 44th International Boat Show.
"While Vivato has installed systems in other parts of the world, the system in Genoa is the first European installation of a seaport," said Piergiovanni Matrona, vice president and general manager of the international market for Vivato. "The use of Vivato's technology drastically reduces the cost and time required to provide Wi-Fi coverage in large areas, making broadband Internet access a reality for visitors, ships and boats, as well as all the applications related to the management, surveillance and logistics of the port area."

The system installed at the 44th International Boat Show in Genoa required only one Vivato base station which covers both port and exhibition areas.

"Vivato's Wi-Fi base stations, incorporating patented phased array smart antennae technology, permit far larger and extended coverage compared with traditional Wi-Fi equipment," said Angelo Labeni Grossi, general manager for IBAX. "Thanks to the unique features of Vivato's product, it's possible to deploy a system like the one in Genoa in just a few hours, avoiding the complex radio- electric net introduced by traditional wired solutions, with considerable cost savings and more flexible network management."

The consortium IBAX designs, installs and maintains private wireless networks in both unlicensed and licensed bands.
