We're still reviewing the bids, but we should make our decision shortly.
The review process is taking a while due to vacation schedules.
We received six bid responses, which were from Chantry Networks; SBC
(with Cisco AP's); IBM (with a grand vision for the future, but no
product); and three vendors which quoted Airespace or Airespace-OEM
products.
