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."

"Japanese enterprises are leaders in adopting wireless technologies to drive increased business productivity," said Steve Troyer, vice president, product marketing, Meru Networks.
