Strix Systems of Westlake Village, Calif., is, in the words of chairman and CEO Bruce Brown, "really trying to get rid of the wires."

The company, which was founded in 2000 but is just now announcing its first products, seems to mean it, taking the term "wireless network" literally enough that they don't think even access points should have wires (except for the AC power). So Strix has announced the latest entry into the switched WLAN wars, the Access/One Network.
