A new system for open wi-fi networking tools
The demand for wireless internet connectivity will increase in the next two years. This means many companies should upgrade wi-fi networking capabilities. However, this would be very costly because the key players in computer networking tend to install lock-in barriers that make customers dependent on a vendor. As a result, the use of another vendor has highly expensive switching costs. The EU-funded TanazaOS project proposes a Linux-based operating system for wi-fi networking instruments that bypass the vendor lock-in. The system runs on any white-box and open hardware networking tool. This means companies can dissociate their hardware from software, opting for the best and least costly solution. |
