:G'day all,

Motorola Inc,  has just announced and is currently shipping a wireless ethernet
product.  The product is named Altair.  You can contact Cheryl Beck and request
information from her.  I am not sure if we would have any useful information for
you,  but it is definitely a place to start.  You may contact Cheryl at the
following address:

			Cheryl Beck
			Motorola Inc.
			3209 N. Wilke Road
			Arlington Heights,  Illinois  60004
			USA

			+1-708-632-2853

Also,  several articles have appeared in various LAN publications since November
of last year.  These articles were published after the Motorola's technology
announcement announcing its Wireless Inbuilding Network (WIN) technology

I hope this helps.

Mark
