Mikasa Shoji Begins Distributing CELLCROSS@CELL LAN in USA--Appears in Secure World
Expo
OSAKA, Sept. 3/Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/--
Mikasa Shoji Co., Ltd., the electronics trading company headquartered in Osaka,
Japan, announced the distribution of @CELL LAN, the two-dimensional wireless LAN
system developed by CELLCROSS Co., Ltd., based in Tokyo, Japan, through Mikasa
Shoji's subsidiary, Devicenet USA, Inc., of San Jose, CA,. @CELL LAN distribution
will be focused in the U.S. market.
Until today, Mikasa Shoji has been providing new technology, IT products and IT
solutions according to customers' needs. In today's business world, wireless LAN
technology and wireless Internet connection services are growing more than ever. Due
to the increase of wireless PC users, problems with interference of wireless signals
and security have become an escalating issue.
The newest technology Mikasa Shoji will be unveiling and distributing in the U.S.
is called @CELL LAN by CELLCROSS. @CELL LAN uses a special sheet, which makes two-
dimensional communication possible. This new two-dimensional communication technology
controls and limits an area for wireless LAN signals to travel by using a typical
wired or wireless LAN and wireless Internet connection services. Users can access the
network simply by placing wireless LAN-supported PCs on the Communication Sheet. In
addition to requiring a simple ID and password to access the network, wireless
Internet disconnects when PCs are removed from the Communication Sheet. Thus this
two-dimensional communication technology enables even stronger security by
controlling an area where PCs can access the network. Furthermore, @CELL LAN provides
stable communication that does not disconnect signals or decrease communication
speed. This innovative technology makes this system stand apart from other wireless
products, as it is the only one of its kind in the market today.
Main Features of @CELL LAN
1. Secure
* Hackers cannot intrude even if ID and password are stolen
* Disconnects network by physically moving PC away
2. Stable Connection
* Connect to network simply by placing PC on communication sheet
* A stable connection environment, which does not decrease speed or disconnect
3. Easy Installation
* Incorporated Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi card provides network connection with no need for
extra component or difficult setting changes
* No interferences between AP's, and no site survey required
@CELL LAN is already distributed within Japan since July 2008, but this is the
first time it will be distributed internationally. CELLCROSS recognized Mikasa
Shoji's domestic and international distributing records for IT solutions, and came to
the conclusion that Mikasa Shoji would be the best comprehensive resale partner for
distributing @CELL LAN internationally.
Mikasa Shoji is going to be presenting and demonstrating @CELL LAN in the
Devicenet USA booth at SecureWorld Expo taking place from Sept. 16 through Sept.17 in
Santa Clara, CA, the U.S.. Following this presentation at the Expo, Mikasa plans to
start sales deployment, focusing primarily on Japanese corporations within the U.S.
Because communication security is growing into a serious problem in the U.S., Mikasa
Shoji and Devicenet USA anticipate @CELL LAN products will be in increasing demand
