Announcement posted by Wavelink 13 Jul 2009
Agreement with leading innovator completes Wavelink’s Product Expansion
Melbourne, 21 October 2008 - Wavelink Communications, a value added distributor of
business IP telephony and wireless solutions, today announced the signing of a distribution
agreement with Meru Networks which encompasses their suite of wireless LAN (WLAN)
solutions. Meru is recognised as a global leader in the development of 802.11n enterprise
WLAN infrastructure which enables wireless networks to support voice, data, and video over
IP in high-use, mission-critical environments as well as lower the cost of wireless network
operations for all organizations.
Meru’s industry-leading 4th-generation innovations in wireless LAN architecture deliver
pervasive wireless service fidelity for business -critical applications to major Fortune 500
enterprises, universities, healthcare organizations and local, state and federal government
agencies throughout North America, Europe and Asia . Meru’s WLAN System is the only
solution in the market that delivers predictable bandwidth and over -the-air quality of service
with the reliability, scalability and security necessary to deliver converged voice and data
services over a single WLAN infrastructure. Meru's award-winning Air Traffic Control
technology brings the service benefits of the cellular world to the wireless LAN environment.
Ilan Rubin, Director of Wavelink said “WLAN adoption in the enterprise has evolved
significantly over the last few year s. Usage models are shifting significantly from casual data
application access for a few users, to high -density usage throughout companies or university
lecture halls, and deployments involving mission -critical applications that combine high -
capacity data with wireless VoIP, asset tracking or even video in retail, manufacturing, and
healthcare environments. Meru’s fourth generation solutions utilise networks of coordinated
access points (APs), which working together in virtual cells, operating on a single -channel
span that may be layered to add capacity on demand. Having a single channel makes them
easier to plan, install, manage, adjust, and operate than the major competing multi -channel
architectures, as well as take full advantage of the benefits of high -speed 802.11n”
“Any CIO or IT Manager considering either an initial WLAN deployment or an expansion of an
existing one—even if initially for casual data usage—must look closely at their plans for
mobile applications and user density, and match those requirements to the system in which
they invest today. Meru is unmatched in delivering on a number of key criteria, including
scalability, performance and reliability, security, management and deployment and solution
assurance,” continued Rubin.
Kamal Anand, Meru’s Senior VP of Marketing and Corporate Strategy added, “This
agreement with Wavelink enables Meru to complement our rapid global growth with
expansion into the important Australian market. We are confident that Australian
organisations will see the clear superiority of our technology once they compare us with the
traditional market leaders. We are excited that Wavelink has become our newest distribution
partner, because of what it means for wireless network development in Australia. Wavelink’s
extensive wireless experience, strong technical credentials and established channels to
market mean that any enterprise, educational, government, or healthcare institution in
Australia can now deploy our technology with confidence and certainty that any support and
expertise they need is readily at hand.”
