Jul 03, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Market research firm Dell'Oro Group announced it has ranked Meru Networks number two in the enterprise 802.11n wireless LAN market.
According to Dell'Oro's "First Quarter 2009 Wireless LAN Report," Meru logged 12 percent of total vendor revenue - second only to Cisco and ahead of third-place Aruba - for equipment based on 802.11n.
"802.11n is recognized as the future of wireless networks and as such constitutes the only meaningful measure of success for WLAN vendors," said Rachna Ahlawat, Meru's VP of marketing. "Through the use of wireless virtualization techniques, Meru has created a full line of plug-and-play 802.11n solutions that outperform the legacy 'micro cell' products of other WLAN vendors yet cost less. Enterprises across all industry segments - education, healthcare, hospitality, entertainment, retail, manufacturing, construction and government - are adopting Meru's 802.11n-based virtualized WLANs, which is driving our accelerated 802.11n market share growth."
According to the Dell'Oro Group report, the position of 802.11n access points as a percentage of all 11a/b/g/n access points has tripled over the past year, from six to 18 percent. The enterprise WLAN market is expected to grow to $1.9 billion by the end of 2010, with 802.11n accounting for the majority of total access point shipments.
Products based on 802.11n allow wireless access at more than five times the speed of the legacy 802.11a/b/g standards. Meru's 802.11n solutions use WLAN virtualization techniques to let organizations deliver information, applications and business processes in a personalized way to individuals, while enabling network managers to roll out secure WLANs at a fraction of cost of legacy solutions. Using Meru's Air Traffic Control technology, the company's products deliver full 802.11n draft 2.0 performance at the highest possible wireless client densities while offering full backward compatibility with 802.11a/b/g devices.
Meru Networks develops and markets wireless LAN infrastructure solutions that use virtualization to deliver pervasive, high-fidelity wireless service for voice, video and data applications.
