The editors of CMP Media’s Network Computing and Network Magazine, two of CMP Media’s premier information technology publications, review over 150 submissions, evaluating new products. Finalists were then selected in nine categories. The Best of Interop Awards are designed to help IT and network managers shorten the evaluation process in assessing new technology products. By identifying innovative products debuted at NetWorld+Interop, the Best of Interop Awards assist in the quest for creative solutions.

“We are excited to have been named a finalist for the prestigious Best of Interop awards,” said Ben Gibson vice president of marketing for Meru Networks. “This honor validates our belief that Meru’s Radio Switch will truly revolutionize wireless LANs in much the same way that Ethernet switches revolutionized that market.”

"When selecting finalists for the Best of Interop Awards, we're looking for products that stand out from the competition by providing a unique solution to a problem or one that blazes new territory in the networking arena," explained Ron Anderson, lab director for Network Computing and head of the joint editorial judging for the Best of Interop Awards.
