Networking Channel Research Library

Description
When AirWave was founded in 2000, its original mission was to create and operate a national, for-profit 802.11 "hotspot" network. AirWave deployed a pilot network with 130-plus hotspots and more than 1,000 subscribers by early 2001. Through this unique experience, the company's founders were among the first to see that the biggest technical hurdle to operating a large, geographically disparate wireless network was the lack of specialized tools for centrally managing that network. Recognizing an enormous market need, the founders of AirWave redirected the company to focus exclusively on developing the industry-leading AirWave Management Platform software. The first commercial version of the AMP software shipped in early 2002. Today, AirWave software is used by IT organizations in a variety of enterprise environments, including Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, universities and other institutions, and Internet service providers. AirWave is a privately held, venture-backed company led by seasoned executives with extensive experience operating both enterprise software companies and large wireless networks. The company is headquartered in San Mateo, California, with sales offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and Barcelona.
