“Convergence” is a hot technology term that has many meanings, depending on which manufacturer is using the term. In my perspective, convergence is simply defined as: the integration of multiple technology platforms into one collective network infrastructure. One example is our Motorola Wireless LAN/WAN solution. The Motorola wireless solution creates a wireless backbone that allows complete integration between data systems. These systems might be: desktop or laptop wireless computers, PDA devices, touch screen devices, barcode scanners, and/or voice communication devices. These devices could be portable phones, PDA wireless phones, nurse call systems, and walkie-talkie devices. SVP technology (Spectralink Voice Protocol) provides the ability to operate voice communications over the wireless LAN/WAN. The wireless business class switch provides multiple wireless channels in which separate voice or data components can operate independently or as an integrated network. Security can be maintained at different levels for each channel. This means a typical wireless client environment can now have the best of all wireless worlds all managed by one wireless switch solution:

• An unsecured wireless data network for its visitors to use for internet access

• A wireless data network with high security for its own internal users

• A voice wireless network for its internal local mobile voice users

• Additional wireless networks for other solutions
