SOLUTIONS INC. SELECTS MERU NETWORKS' WLAN
SYSTEM FOR ENTERPRISE-WIDE DEPOLYEMENT OF VOICE AND DATA OFFICE
NETWORK
Single Number Seamless Mobility Improves Productivity and
Communication Across Four Sites
London – December 12, 2006
Meru Networks, the global innovation leader in wireless
infrastructure for the All-Wireless Enterprise, today announced
that Solutions Inc., a leading Apple reseller headquartered in
Sussex, England, has deployed Meru's Wireless LAN System across
all of its offices to provide secure voice and data networking.
Headquartered in Hove, Sussex, Solutions Inc. has been in
business for more than 14 years and has built up an impressive
reputation as an Apple Centre in the region. Solutions Inc. has
been accredited as an Apple Authorised Services Provider, an
Apple Solution Expert focused on video, audio, architecture,
education and server markets, and an Apple Authorised Training
Point, of which there are only five in the UK. Solutions Inc.
recently opened new Apple Premium Reseller stores in Brighton
and Bournemouth, each offering in excess of 500 Mac and iPod
products,
As the company has grown, so has the need for a new business
telephone system to unify communications across its multiple
sites. After selecting Maximiser from SpliceCom, a converged IP
communications solution for Apple Mac systems, Solutions Inc.
wanted to add single number seamless mobility and Wi-Fi
connectivity for employees moving between the company's sites.
To accomplish this, they needed to add wireless LAN
infrastructure to their sites.
Solutions Inc. evaluated solutions from Aruba Networks, Trapeze
Networks, Extricom and Colubris Networks before finally
selecting Meru's WLAN System based on its superior Quality of
Service and high level of security. "We wanted to provide
converged voice and data connectivity over a single wireless LAN
infrastructure for our employees," said Aidan Bowen, Technical
Director at Solutions Inc. "Our nomadic staff can now use SIP
Wi-Fi phones as extensions on our Maximiser system to place and
receive phone calls wherever they might be – even if they're
walking between two buildings. Meru's WLAN System has already
increased productivity and improved communication for our
employees. We were really impressed with Meru's approach to
customer service and its high level of detail that, in my
opinion, is unusual from a vendor."
"Solutions Inc. is a great example of how converged voice and
data connectivity can benefit a multi-site organisation," said
Mikko Kiukkanen, Business Director for Western Europe at Meru
Networks." As the only wireless LAN solution that guarantees
application delivery in business-critical converged voice and
data applications, Meru provides the convenience of a wireless
network and the features of a wired one."
