A statewide coalition of federal

Martin joins Ruckus at a time when its momentum is accelerating
due to
rapid changes in digital media content distribution, and the demand for
accessing such
content anywhere, anytime, throughout the home is increasing. households operate a home network today
and point to
the fact that Wi-Fi has now surpassed wired Ethernet as the computer
networking technology
of choice in the home. Delay-sensitive
applications, such as real-time video streaming and voice
over Wi-Fi, require
constant, available bandwidth that consumer-grade Wi-Fi products cannot
adequately
support.
Since introducing its first smart Wi-Fi system in September 2005, the
company has
signed a number of broadband providers in Europe, Asia Pacific and
North America to bundle the Ruckus
system with their respective broadband
"triple play" services. Additionally, the Ruckus smart Wi

currently in trials with more than 25 U. Throughout 2004 and into 2005, Syntax rapidly
