“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.
