SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - June 26, 2007) - Meru Networks, the leader in standards-based
workplace mobility infrastructure for wireless voice (VoIP), data and
video, today announced it has been honored with an unprecedented two "Best
of Show" awards at the recent Interop Tokyo. Meru's AirShield Security
Suite won in the network communications security category, while Meru's
3-Tier Traffic
Distribution System (3TDS) won in the wireless and mobile product
category. The Interop show, which showcases the latest platform products
and technology for realizing optimum network environments was held in
Tokyo, Japan on June 11-15, 2007.
The Interop Best of Show Awards 2007 recognize the product, solution or
service that best reflect this year's theme of "The Internet: Solutions to
Accelerate Your Business."
This is the second year in a row that Meru's innovative wireless products
have been recognized at the show. In 2006, Meru Networks was a recipient of
the Interop Tokyo Grand Prize for its RS-400 radio switch.
"Japanese enterprises are leaders in adopting wireless technologies to
drive increased business productivity," said Steve Troyer, vice president,
product marketing, Meru Networks. "We're excited that our products have
been recognized for the second year in a row at Interop Tokyo as leading
the industry in wireless and security."
Meru's 3TDS is an option available with the Meru System Director operating
system, which provides a flexible and cost-effective approach to handling
the increased network load driven by 802.11n. 3TDS will
significantly reduce costs of 802.11n migration by providing a unique and
effective alternative to expensive upgrades to the wired Ethernet switching
backbone.
Meru's AirShield Security Suite 2.0 is the first wireless local-area
network (WLAN) security offering that simultaneously prevents RF threats
while assuring application availability and continuous quality-of-service
in converged voice and data networks. In addition, AirShield enables
per-application, per-user firewall policy enforcement.
