Wireless VoIP Leader Awarded GSA and SEWPIII Contracts, Expands Government
Sales Channels
WASHINGTON, eGov Wireless/RFID Conference Booth #210, Feb. 27
/PRNewswire/ -- Meru Networks, the global leader in wireless VoIP
infrastructure, today announced that it has expanded its network of channel
partners to make its wireless solutions available to federal, state and local
government agencies. Meru has signed on nine leading reseller/integrator
partners to help bring its award-winning wireless LAN portfolio to the
government market.
Over the past year, Meru has been awarded Federal Supply Schedule contract
approval from both the General Services Administration and SEWP III, which
enable U.S. federal agencies, the Department of Defense, and state and local
government agencies to purchase Meru's wireless LAN solutions. To further
expand its presence in the government market, Meru has signed on the following
channel partners: General Dynamics, Govtel, iGov, Invisi-Wire, Management
Systems Designers (MSD), Northrup Grumman, TKC Technologies, True North
Solutions, Inc. and Worldwide Technology, Inc. (WWT).
Meru's Wireless LAN System, the only WLAN solution purpose-built to handle
pervasive deployments of layered voice and data applications including
toll-quality wireless voice over IP, has gained substantial traction in the
enterprise WLAN market and is now making inroads in the federal government
sector. Key to Meru's growing success in the federal government sector is the
company's recently announced Security Services Module (SSM), a software module
that that works in combination with Meru's complete wireless LAN product
portfolio, to deliver the industry's first military-grade, RF signal-level
wireless security. Meru's SSM is ideal for government and military agencies
that require the highest levels of security and confidentiality for
mission-critical applications.
"We are pleased to have Meru Networks on our SEWP III contract," said Max
Kymmell, director of Government Programs for Worldwide Technology, Inc. (WWT),
a market-leading systems integrator that provides innovative technology and
supply chain solutions to the commercial, government and telecom sectors. "We
look forward to working together and demonstrating Meru's wireless
capabilities."
"Federal, state and local government agencies have long recognized the
substantial productivity and cost benefits associated with wireless LANs, but
have been reluctant to deploy the previous generation of WLAN solutions
because they cannot deliver the high levels of security, performance and
pervasive coverage required to support critical applications in these
environments," said Kamal Anand, vice president of marketing, Meru Networks.
"With its innovative Air Traffic Control technology that enables coordinated,
widespread coverage with a single channel, its ability to support toll-quality
voice and multiple data applications, and its military-grades security, Meru's
WLAN System addresses the specific needs of the federal government agency
environment."
