Another Leading WLAN Vendor Standardizes on Azimuth?s W-Series Test Platform

ACTON, MA — January 17, 2005 — Azimuth Systems, Inc., innovators in scalable, automated wireless network test systems, today announced that Trapeze Networks™, a leading vendor in the WLAN switch/controller market, has selected the Azimuth W-Series test platform for its internal quality assurance, performance and competitive benchmarking test processes. Trapeze Networks' wireless LAN Mobility System™ is deployed in multiple large enterprise networks throughout the world, creating the need for a rigorous performance testing foundation, such as the Azimuth W-Series platform.

"The Azimuth system provides us with precise, repeatable RF tests to ensure that our radio layer is performing as it should. It gives us the confidence in our RF implementation to go along with our system's ability to scale to the demands of large enterprise networks, as demonstrated in the recent large scale wireless test we conducted at the Iometrix lab this past December," said Mike Tincher, Trapeze's director of customer service and software quality assurance.

"Trapeze represents another leading market mover that has standardized on the Azimuth W-Series test platform, and we are proud to have the company as a customer," said Ray Cronin, president and CEO of Azimuth.

The Azimuth W-Series is the industry's first standardized test platform for system level testing of 802.11 wireless access points, clients and other devices. Designed from the ground up as an off-the-shelf, wireless LAN test platform, W-Series systems provide the ability to configure an entire WLAN network in a bench top chassis designed for complete Radio Frequency (RF) isolation and control. The flexibility and programmability of the W-Series allows for the thorough evaluation of wireless LAN equipment under varying mobility conditions and traffic patterns, as well as precise analysis of the results. The system offers an ideal environment to perform software design validation and to test advanced wireless functionality and performance including the latest IEEE standards.
