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
