Meru Networks Wins Awards For Best Security
And Wireless Products At Interop Tokyo
Industry Recognizes Meru's Expanding Technology Leadership
SUNNYVALE, Calif., 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.
