NEC Infrontia will release a WLAN system that incorporates its proprietary packet QoS control technology. The system consists of the ST-Q100-B, an IEEE802.11b wireless LAN station, the PK-WL102, a VoIP wireless LAN PC card, and a splitter set.

Integrated with packet QoS-compatible middleware, the system can handle up to 20 simultaneous VoIP calls over a single wireless LAN network, and is capable of supporting data communications and video streaming during VoIP calls.

The station is priced at $581, while the VoIP card and the splitter are available for $135 and $84, respectively.

The company aims to sell 10,000 units of the ST-Q100-B, 100,000 units of the PK-WL102, and 10,000 splitters over the next three years.
