OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices.
Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully
writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application
selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the
device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, OpenWrt
is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware
around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device
in ways never envisioned.
DD-WRT is a third party developed firmware released under the terms of the GPL for
many ieee802.11a/b/g/h/n wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference
design.
StarOS® is a powerful wireless operating system with a vast number of capabilities
far beyond most other products on the market, while keeping a reasonably small flash
and memory footprint.
RoamAD supplies industry-leading metro Wi-Fi, highway Wi-Fi, and campus Wi-Fi networks.
RoamAD's radio-agnostic, software-based platform is unmatched in network-edge performance
and flexibility supporting up to four radios per node in any combination for 802.11a/b/g
and public safety networking.
RoamAD networks are scalable and, with their low-latency and fast-handoff attributes,
are optimized to support mobile VoIP/VoWiFi.
IkarusOS is a network services operating system which turns an embedded based system
into a dedicated (WI-FI) router. IkarusOS enabled deployments are easily configured
provisioned and monitored through IkarusOS Manager which is a software application
that provides real-time visibility and control of all IkarusOS based systems of
the network. The complete administration and configuration of IkarusOS systems is
done through IkarusOS Manager executed from any platform that supports Java.
