LEADING INDUSTRY ANALYST SAYS HEALTHCARE, RETAIL AND MANUFACTURING BENEFIT FROM VOICE OVER WIRELESS NETWORKS

Trapeze Networks Webcast Stresses Importance
Of Coverage, Density, Resiliency and Performance

 

PLEASANTON, Calif., September 15, 2008 – Trapeze Networks is hosting a webcast featuring Michael J. King, a research director at Gartner, an industry analyst firm. King presents his new findings in a webcast entitled Deployment Considerations for Voice over Wireless LANs. Trapeze Networks, a leader in wireless networking, and Polycom, a leader in collaborative applications for voice, video and data, is hosting the webcast and making it available to everyone interested in wireless voice services for their organizations. The webcast can be viewed here.

 

“Trapeze Networks is uniquely positioned to help companies get the benefits of wireless voice,” said Ahmet Tuncay, executive vice president of product management and business development. “Nonstop Wireless Networking differentiates Trapeze Networks from all its competitors. Most data applications don’t mind bits that arrive late or out of sequence as long as they all arrive at their destination sooner or later. But voice applications, and for that matter video too, demand that the signal be transmitted without interruption and Trapeze Networks does that better than any other WLAN company.”

 

Since its introduction earlier this year, Trapeze Networks has earned praise from the media and industry analysts for Nonstop Wireless. Network World, the leading trade magazine for the data networking marketplace, named Trapeze Networks a “blue ribbon winner” for its 802.11n product line. Trapeze Networks’ Nonstop Wireless networking was singled out from every other WLAN vendor for its high-availability architecture.

 

The Network World article reported on the findings of recent research performed by ABI Research. In its report, ABI Research wrote this:

 

Trapeze edges out its competitors with respect to resilience and high availability. The company’s “Non-Stop Wireless” is more than a slogan. Its use of virtual cluster controller functionality is highly innovative. Each controller contributes capacity resources to a community of controllers; and that means no impact on sessions should a controller go down. It also means that content is balanced automatically if a controller ceases operation.

 

In addition to the accolades Trapeze Networks has received from ABI Research, Current Analysis wrote this:

 

Customers of other WLAN vendors should consider Trapeze when looking to upgrade the existing WLAN. …Trapeze pulls out all the stops for its NonStop Wireless strategy.
