(Business News & Technology News, 13 May 2008)

Gartner Inc.'s revised Wireless LAN Equipment: Market Overview 2007 has determined Trapeze Networks to be the largest privately-held WLAN company based on revenues. The revision to the report takes into account the OEM sales Trapeze makes to leading networking companies.

"Our OEM businesses with 3Com, Enterasys, Nortel and other large networking companies have been key ingredients of our go-to-market model from the very beginning," says Jim Vogt, President and CEO of Trapeze Networks. "Now, the Trapeze brand is putting big points on the board and branded sales represent the fastest growing component of our business. For six years, enterprises around the world have invested in Trapeze Smart Mobile and found out they can depend on it for constant connectivity and reliable mobility. Now, Trapeze has upgraded its Smart Mobile architecture by delivering NonStop Wireless, unmatched reliability, and we can already see it igniting the market."

NonStop Wireless is the culmination of an intensive multi-year development effort that brings painless, fully automated dynamic redundancy and scaling to wireless LANs for the first time. NonStop Wireless technology allows for nonstop operation, in-service upgrades, and hitless failover while dramatically simplifying redundancy configuration. Trapeze's NonStop Wireless reduces capital equipment and ongoing IT operational costs associated with building, maintaining, and growing high availability resilient wireless LANs.
