Musenki's Linux-Based AP Ships To Beta Customers

Posted by timothy on from the small-cute-wireless dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Austin, TX based Musenki ('musenki' means 'small wireless gadget' in Japanese) is poised to ship beta units of its first product -- the M-1 wireless access point that uses Linux. Pretty cool device that has open architecture and can be modified to accomodate growing 802.11 standards. Says they could have not have done it without open source community."

    Good access points cost a lot. Sure, you can get a Linksys for $150, but a Cisco AP is still $500. They have features a "plain" AP doesn't have. In the case of Cisco, better security and good key management.

    Musenki means wireless device.

    mu = not
    sen = wire
    ki = device

    I don't see 'small' in there..

    Musenski must have better PR people, but don't forget about Soekris. They make network computers that include two slots for radios and one slot for hardware encryption, running *BSD or Linux.
