(Interop) Las Vegas or Bust
Interop Las Vegas kicked off today, and up until last Friday, I’ve been asked by many folks, “What does Cisco have in store for mobility at Interop?”
I will keep this short by asking you to tune into the video that gives you a little taste of what is to come.
Stop by the Cisco pavillion (booth #1719) or phone me on my mobile (listed in Media Relations Contacts) , and we will hang out, Vegas style!

I believe a possible future operations endeavor for Cisco in regards to the teleworker and remote access is to create a device which makes use of WiMAX (Clear/Sprint partnership) and its own (Cisco/Linksys) WiFi to compete with the 3G carriers Novatel’s MiFi .
A the same time Cisco should move into the LTE/WiFi / 4G space for remote access as that is right around the corner.
By integrating the WiMAX chipset to the same Novatel device (with either EVDO/HSDPA) then using a client access of either 2 X 2 MiMO (802.11n) WiFi or 3 X 3 MiMo, Cisco will strongly position itself as the leader into of the IP enhanced 4G Next Generation , Intelligent Information Networker.
I also see options of having this small form “WiMAX-Fi / 4G-WiFi” device with support for the CAPWAP standards, capable of using solar power, and yes being able to use the mesh on using the WiFi.
