Airespace
Airespace, Inc. (formerly Black Storm Networks) was an American enterprise networking systems company founded in 2001 by Pat Calhoun, Bob Friday, Bob O'Hara and Ajay Mishra, manufacturing wireless LAN access points and the controllers that managed them. Airespace pioneered the centralized AP-controller architecture for rapid enterprise Wi-Fi deployment and authored the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP), the direct precursor to the IETF CAPWAP standard, and was first to market with integrated Wi-Fi location tracking. It was venture backed by Storm Ventures, Norwest Venture Partners, Fidelity Investments and Battery Ventures, and shipped OEM equipment through NEC, Alcatel and Nortel. Cisco Systems acquired Airespace in 2005 for $450 million and merged its products into the Cisco Aironet line. The company no longer operates independently and publishes no API, developer portal or documentation; the airespace.com domain is parked and listed for sale.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Airespace is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Airespace scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Properties that don't map to a standard resource type
Airespace is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
