ARUBA NETWORKS' 802.11N SOLUTION WINS NETWORK COMPUTING'S WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD
Outstanding Performance, Compact Low-Profile Design, Competitive Pricing Make The AP-125 Access Point Family A Stand Out
Sunnyvale, CA, April 2, 2009 - Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARUN), a global leader in wireless LANs and secure mobility solutions, today announced that its AP-125 802.11n Access Point family has won Network Computing's Wireless Infrastructure Product of the Year Award. Awards were conferred upon one vendor or service provider in each of 24 unique categories based on feedback from readers. The wireless infrastructure category included a wide range of Wi-Fi related products, and the AP-125 Access Point family was the only 802.11n product so honored.
First shipped in February 2008, the dual-radio AP-125 was the first 802.11n access point on the market to be powered from a single 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet source while operating in 3x3 MIMO mode. It is also among the smallest 802.11n enterprise access points on the market, featuring an ultra-compact enclosure designed for wall or ceiling mounting. At less than one-fifth the weight of its closest rival, the AP-125 can be easily be affixed to a suspended ceiling without any additional reinforcement.
"802.11n is a game-changing wireless technology but it requires careful implementation to deliver wire-like performance and high security," said Keerti Melkote, Aruba's co-founder and chief technical officer. "The AP-125 includes many path-breaking features including very low-power consumption, touch-free over-the-network updates, a Trusted Platform Module to protect network certificates, integrated flat-panel antennas, and a snap-lock ceiling mounting bracket. Used in tandem with Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management technology to optimize 802.11n performance in real-time, and with Aruba's policy-enforcement firewall to secure the network, these features give the AP-125 family its industry-leading performance and security. We're honored to have the capabilities of this innovative product recognized by Network Computing."
The Network Computing Awards were launched to recognize the products, services and companies that have particularly impressed readers of Network Computing, the UK's longest established computer networking magazine. The 3rd annual Network Computing Awards this year drew more than 25,000 individual votes.
