Leveraging Newbury’s patented location technology (U.S. Patent #6,674,403), the Newbury Location Appliance is designed to utilize industry standard application protocols to run over a wide-range of WLAN infrastructures including 3Com, Aruba, Cisco, Nortel, Symbol and Trapeze.

The Newbury Location Appliance is built on Newbury’s software platform that has been deployed in both enterprise and public sector applications since 2001. The appliance is used in conjunction with the Newbury’s location software applications – Active Asset (Real-Time Asset Tracking), WiFi Watchdog (RF Firewall) and Digital Docent (Content Provisioning). The product can simultaneously track up to 2,000 wireless devices without requiring custom protocols, specialized hardware, or any special software on the tracked devices;

The Newbury Location Appliance has an MSRP of $14,995 and will be available beginning November 30.

Update: CSIRO shuts down Buffalo WLAN shipments

Updated 6/21/07

Last Friday, a federal court in Texas granted Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, an injunction to prevent infringement of its wireless network patent by Buffalo-group companies in the US. The injunction prevents the sales of all wireless LAN products by Buffalo until a license for CSIRO technology is negotiated.

CSIRO had begun a test case against the Buffalo companies in February 2005 in Texas, after the industry had failed to accept CSIRO’s offers to license its wireless local area network (WLAN) patents on reasonable and nondiscriminatory (RAND) terms.
