BelAir Networks Inc.

While not a home to hip hop royalty, BelAir Networks may seem like a prince to customers who want to freshen up their data networks. The company's wireless networking gear, based on the Wi-Fi standard, is designed to fill gaps in wired networks by enabling users to connect wirelessly in areas without wired access. Its products are intended to extend the reach of internal e-mail, Web, instant messaging, and VPN services. BelAir makes sales in part through partnerships with other manufacturers, including Nomadix and Airpath. It serves such industries as telecommunications and hospitality, as well as state, local, and federal government agencies. Customers have included The University of Georgia and Omni Hotels.
