Wave LAN
WaveLAN is a brand name that was used for a family of wireless networking solutions sold by NCR, AT&T, and Lucent, as well as being sold by other companies under OEM agreements. The WaveLAN name first debuted on the market in 1988 and was in use into the mid-1990s, when Lucent renamed their WaveLAN offerings to ORiNOCO.
WaveLAN has been used on two different families of wireless technology:
- Pre-IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN, also called Classic WaveLAN
- IEEE 802.11-compliant WaveLAN, also known as WaveLAN IEEE or ORiNOCO

Famous quotes containing the word wave:
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
