Strix Systems Inc. marketing VP Nan Chen has left the company, the WiFi mesh networking firm confirmed Tuesday evening.

There have been rumors floating around about Chen leaving Strix for a little while now. A spokesman for the company confirmed Chen's departure but didn't offer any details about his current whereabouts.

"You know Nan, he's a man of many interests," says the Strix spokesperson.

Chen joined Strix in the fall of 2005, proclaiming: "To me, wireless is where the world is moving to." (See Chen's Outta Atrica.)

Nonetheless, he has retained his position as president of the MEF during his tenure at Strix.

Chen is by no means the only fluid element in the WiFi mesh market at the moment. There's plenty of talk of lay-offs and changes at several of the mesh startups in the market.

We'll have more news on the mesh shakeout as we get it.
