I'm interested in wireless LANs. I've collected the following rumours and pointers to various products. If you know of any more, or if you can fill in any of the missing details, please send me mail.

G'day all,
I am just starting a PhD at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. I am
considering a topic related to wireless networking as a possible topic. I can't
be more specific yet as I have not read enough yet. Incidently my background
is in Data Link and Network layers.
Does anyone have any good references to articles (and books although not likely)
about wireless networking at any level (layer). Also information about where
work is currently being done would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Andrew Myles

Motorola Inc, has just announced and is currently shipping a wireless ethernet
product. The product is named Altair. You can contact Cheryl Beck and request
information from her. I am not sure if we would have any useful information for
you, but it is definitely a place to start. You may contact Cheryl at the
following address:

Also, several articles have appeared in various LAN publications since November
of last year. These articles were published after the Motorola's technology
announcement announcing its Wireless Inbuilding Network (WIN) technology
I hope this helps.
Mark
