Mission
Stellaris Networks is dedicated to becoming the leading provider of high-capacity Wireless LANs (WLAN) solutions for enterprise customers. Stellaris is developing a complete product solution to cost effectively construct high-capacity WLAN based on 802.11 industry standards.

Market Opportunity
W LAN is proving to be one of the great success stories in telecommunications today. It is becoming a mainstream solution for both the consumer and enterprise's market place. As penetration rates and usage levels are growing, enterprises begin to realize the limits of the current technology available to them - mainly poor throughput and complex deployment of the infrastructure (Access Points). This is where Stellaris Networks comes in and plans to provide - through its unique technology - superior WLAN infrastructure infrastructures for enterprise, which overcomes the current technology limitation.

Products Description
Wireless LAN systems based on Stellaris Networks technology are composed of one or more central Wireless Switches (AirSwitch), which are typically installed in a central communication closet and multiple wireless Access Points (AirLink), freely distributed over the desired service area. Networks employing Stellaris Networks' technology can achieve more than ten times greater capacity, robust Voice-over-LAN (VoWLAN) operation and much lower TCO compared to existing solutions. Stellaris Networks' technology is especially unique in its ability to substantially increase WLAN capacity and provide true QoS capabilities, while preserving 802.11a/b/g compatibility, i.e. without requiring the end devices to be replaced.
