Colubris Networks
Based: Waltham, MA
Founded: 2000

Why It's Fierce: Colubris Networks is a
trend-setter in the WiFi market. The company was the
first to pioneer a number of WLAN management
techniques that have since become industry
standards. When you ask an insider which WiFi
companies they respect, invariably Colubris makes
their list. Colubris is not content just resting on
its accolades, though. The company recently acquired
cellular WiFi company Kiwi Networks, giving it more
technology to adjust to the changing WiFi market.
The company also inked a wireless VoIP partnership
with Cicero Networks, positioning itself for the
fast-emerging wireless VoIP sector. Earlier this
year, Colubris closed $15 million in additional
funding. Colubris Networks is well-placed to
continue its role as the WLAN market's technology
trend setter.
What To Look For: Look for more
deployments with more enterprise and service
provider customers and possibly another small
acquisition.
