Meru Networks, the global leader in converged wireless LAN, today announced that it is the exclusive provider of wireless Internet services at the Midwest Educational Technology Conference (METC), a leading-edge forum for professionals to share and learn about issues related to education and technology. The Conference, which takes place from January 31- February 2, 2005 at the Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet in St. Louis, MO brings together 600 participants from Missouri, Illinois and other Midwestern states to exchange information and technical experiences, to discuss ideas, and evaluate present and future educational technologies.

Meru’s Wireless LAN System will enable attendees, exhibitors, and staff to access the Internet, check e-mail, and perform other tasks while on the show floor. Meru’s APs will be deployed throughout the exhibit hall and breakout session areas.

As wireless adoption among educational institutions transitions from the pilot and early stage to mainstream use,” said Kamal Anand, vice president of marketing and business development at Meru Networks, “the advantages of the Meru WLAN System—e.g., predictable service in dense user environments, easy deployment and management, and the ability to support voice and data on a single network—will be critical to a successful Wi-Fi deployment.”
