"DEMO 2003 showcases the hottest new companies and products," said Ken Biba, CEO and chairman of Vivato. "Vivato is honored to launch the industry's first Wi-Fi switch at this prestigious event."

In addition to demonstrating its new product at DEMO 2003, Vivato has also been chosen to participate in the coveted DEMO Hot Seat, which allows presenters 60 seconds to pitch their company and product to DEMO attendees.

Executive producer, Chris Shipley, chose Vivato along with a select group of other innovative technology companies to debut at IDG's executive forum. "Vivato's Wi-Fi switch will enable new types of Wi-Fi deployment within the enterprise and service provider markets," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of DEMO 2003.
