Also, Navini Networks, a non-line-of-site wide-area wireless technology vendor, is set to unveil a new base station. The new Ripwave towertop base station requires less space on tower real estate and fewer cables, and reduces power dissipation by more than 50 percent, said Bjorn Kirchdorfer, executive vice president of commercial operations at Navini, Richardson, Texas.

The company also plans to showcase its Ripwave modem, which connects to Navini's network and provides users with nomadic, anytime, anywhere Internet access.
