Sunnyvale, CA – May 9, 2005

Meru Networks, the global leader in Enterprise VoIP mobility infrastructure, today announced that CMP Media’s Network Computing and Network Magazine, have named the Meru Radio Switch the winner in the wireless category of the Best of Interop Awards competition.

Introduced and demonstrated for the first time at the Networld + Interop 2005 show in Las Vegas, Nevada last week, Meru’s Radio Switch family redefines the enterprise wireless LAN with an innovative architecture that is ideal for high-density data and VoIP mobility applications. The Radio Switch Family, which includes the four-radio RS-4000, eight-radio RS-8000, twelve-radio RS-12000 and a patent-pending, built-in omni-directional antenna, reduces enterprise WLAN deployment costs by up to 50%.

The editors of CMP Media’s Network Computing and Network Magazine, two of CMP Media’s premier information technology publications, review submissions, evaluate hundreds of new products and select finalists in nine categories for the Best of Interop awards. From over 150 entries based on this evaluation, the Meru Radio Switch was named the winner in the wireless category. The Best of Interop Awards are designed to help IT and network managers shorten the evaluation process in assessing new products by identifying innovative products debuted at NetWorld+Interop.

“Winning the Best of Interop award validates our belief that the Radio Switch represents a true revolution in WLAN deployment,” said Ben Gibson, vice president of corporate marketing for Meru Networks. “We are pleased that the Best of Interop judges recognized the value of our approach and its potential for changing the way enterprises deploy their wireless LANs.”

“The process of selecting the winners was rigorous,” said Ron Anderson, editor of Network Computing and of the head judging team for the Best of Interop Awards. “Meru’s Radio Switch is the most innovative solution in the wireless category, and that’s why we selected it as a Best of Interop winner.”
