| 9/3/08 - Devicescape Software announced its central role in enabling
Buffalo Technology to deliver simple and secure Wi-Fi connections for home
and small business environments. Until recently, most users struggled to
set up their wireless network and attach new devices.
Now, users can
quickly and easily add their laptops to their Buffalo wireless network
using solutions jointly developed by Devicescape and Buffalo. By working
with Devicescape to make Wi-Fi set-up and access easy, Buffalo reduces its
support costs and provides an improved wireless networking experience for
consumers.
Buffalo is a leading provider of consumer and small office/home office
networking solutions. According to ABI Research, more than half of all
broadband users access the internet via a home network and expectations are
for continued growth in this sector. While accessing wireless networks has
become more common place, setting these up and adding new devices still
present challenges for the average users. By integrating Devicescape's
software into its Client Manager software, Buffalo is empowering its
customers to add new devices quickly and securely with the minimum of fuss.
"The connected lifestyle is about more than devices, it's about how a range
of Wi-Fi enabled equipment can be connected so that together they deliver a
truly compelling and productive experience," said Mr. Kota Sato, Buffalo
Broadband Solutions Business Division. "As wireless technology becomes
ever more prevalent around the home, offices and in public hotspots, users
are demanding a simple set-up and secure connection between their different
Wi-Fi-enabled components. Devicescape Software enables us to fulfill these
requirements."
Devicescape offers ready-made solutions enabling seamless and secure Wi-Fi
access from every device to every network -- at home, at work, and at
hotspots worldwide. As wireless technology is implemented in more devices
around the home, it is increasingly important that set-up and access is
both simple and secure to limit customer support and improve user
experience.
"In consumer electronics there are two Wi-Fi fundamentals -- it's got to
connect simply and be secure," said Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape. "The
combination of Devicescape with its own Client Manager software provides
Buffalo with a simple, secure and powerful Wi-Fi solution that is ideal for
the consumer electronics market."
Devicescape is dedicated to creating a simple user experience for consumers
to set-up and access their content and services on the internet over Wi-Fi.
The technology that Buffalo licensed, the Devicescape Agent supplicant, is
a Wi-Fi security software package that supports the latest Wi-Fi standards
and security technologies. The Devicescape Agent allows Wi-Fi enabled
devices to seamlessly and securely connect to any Wi-Fi network.
