Multi-protocol wireless mesh gateway runs Debian
,----[ Quote ]
| Zaragoza, Spain-based Libelium announced an x86-based multi-protocol mesh
| router with a Debian GNU/Linux-based OS and a user-extensible browser-based
| open source management interface. The modular "Meshlium" router targets
| ultra-long-range Zigbee-based sensor networks, fleet tracking with least-cost
| GPRS/WiFi routing, and multiprotocol WiFi/Bluetooth hotspots.

California city connects with open-source networking

|
| In Madera's case, two Vyatta Inc. routers that run on the Debian
| GNU/Linux-based open-source operating system helped Wheeler consolidate
| routers in the city's data center last year. By eliminating eight Cisco
| routers that needed upgrading in order to accommodate additional traffic, he
| said he saved the city $16,000, spending about one-third of what he would
| have spent on the Cisco router upgrade.
|
| In a more dramatic money-saving move, the city did a complete network upgrade
| to implement a voice-over-IP system based on Asterisk, an open-source PBX
| system from Digium Inc. in Huntsville, Ala. The Asterisk VoIP system cost
| about $120,000, whereas a Cisco system would have run about $400,000, he
| said.
