MERU NETWORKS TEAMS WITH NETWORK-ACCESS CONTROL LEADERS TO GIVE CUSTOMERS SECURE, NEXT-GENERATION WLAN PERFORMANCE AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Customers to Benefit from Interoperability Between Leading NAC Solutions and Meru's Advanced Mobility Infrastructure for Voice, Data and Video

Sunnyvale, CA – March 12, 2007

Meru Networks, the leader in wireless infrastructure solutions that enable the All-Wireless Enterprise, today announced it has teamed with leading network-access control (NAC) vendors to help customers leverage existing investments in network-access control while deploying Meru's advanced Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN) System. Meru is working closely with a wide range of partners, including Microsoft, Juniper Networks, Vernier Networks and Lockdown Networks, among others.

These relationships—announced in tandem today with a new, end-to-end security suite for the Meru WLAN System—give customers maximum flexibility to configure an overall WLAN solution that best meets their needs and budget, while allowing them to leverage pre-existing technology investments or vendor relationships. Working with NAC vendors is a critical component of Meru's commitment to marrying the most advanced WLAN performance and ease of deployment with the industry's highest security standards.

"It's important for enterprises to understand that they do not have to do a complete overhaul of their network infrastructure when they install cutting-edge wireless LAN solutions," Mike Schutz, group product manager of Security and Access Products at Microsoft Corp. "Our Network Access Protection customers will benefit from increased security and WLAN performance." Network Access Protection is a policy enforcement technology built into the Windows Vista and Windows Server (code-named "Longhorn") operating systems that allows customers to better protect network assets from unhealthy computers by enforcing compliance with network health policies.

"Our strength in providing the most complete and advanced NAC solutions depends on relationships with innovative companies like Meru," said Karthik Krishnan, product line manager at Juniper Networks. "We're pleased to work closely with Meru in delivering powerful and secure networking solutions for the largest and most demanding WLAN deployments at the world's leading enterprises."

Meru's patented, virtual cell-based Air Traffic Control technology brings the benefits of the cellular world to the WLAN environment. It is the only industry offering that allows enterprises to fully "untether" voice and Internet access so their employees can roam freely throughout buildings while enjoying continuous, secure and reliable connectivity. The Meru WLAN System is optimized for pervasive wireless environments with a high density of end users and a variety of devices and converged applications, from voice to data to broadband multimedia.

"We are committed to ensuring our customers have freedom of choice to work with the vendors and solutions that best meet their needs," said Eric Colard, vice president, Channel and Business Development, Vernier Networks. "When deployed with the Meru WLAN System, the Vernier EdgeWall NAC solution continuously adapts security policies to respond to changing network conditions and defend against evolving security threats."

"Most of our customers have already invested significantly in network infrastructure and are not keen on the ‘one-size-fits all' approach demanded by certain WLAN vendors," explained Jim Ciociolo, Vice President Business Development, Meru Networks. "Our program gives our customers assurance that their Meru Wireless LAN System will operate flawlessly with all leading NAC options on the market. Instead of locking our customers into using a single vendor or approach, we offer them the opportunity to work with their choice of leading security companies and solutions."

This initiative is integral to Meru's commitment to open systems and standards, and in providing its customers with the greatest flexibility in deploying advanced WLAN solutions. Meru is a member of The Trusted Computing Group (TCG), a not-for-profit organization formed to develop, define, and promote open standards for hardware-enabled trusted computing and security technologies, including hardware building blocks and software interfaces, across multiple platforms, peripherals, and devices. TCG specifications will enable more secure computing environments without compromising functional integrity, privacy or individual rights.
