THE MONITOR GROUP ENABLES VIRTUAL ENTERPRISE OFFICES WORLDWIDE WITH MERU’S WIRELESS LAN SYSTEM

Leading Consulting Firm Delivers Seamless, Secure, Wireless Connectivity for Employees around the Globe

Sunnyvale, CA — May 16, 2006

Meru Networks, the global innovation leader in wireless infrastructure for the All-Wireless Enterprise, today announced that The Monitor Group, a global family of professional services firms, has deployed Meru’s Wireless LAN System to bring wireless LAN flexibility to the firm’s 1500 employees worldwide. Using the Meru solution, Monitor’s team of mobile workers now have secure and reliable wireless access to the Internet, email and a host of data applications critical to performing their jobs, from anywhere within Monitor’s 28 global locations.

In selecting a wireless LAN solution, Monitor’s IT department wanted a system that was extremely secure, easy to deploy and manage, and could grow with their network, as they add more users and increase network density. Furthermore, Monitor wanted a WLAN solution that could address their current needs, as well as their future plans to add multiple data applications and wireless VoIP.

After an extensive evaluation, The Monitor Group determined that Meru’s WLAN System was the best solution to address both the firm’s current and future needs. The Meru WLAN System’s patented Air Traffic Control technology enables coordinated, widespread coverage with a single channel, eliminating the need for complex RF planning and site surveys and thereby, greatly simplifying deployment for Monitor’s IT group. The innovative Air Traffic Control technology also ensures that as Monitor adds users to the network and density increases, they can add capacity simply by layering additional channels across the same coverage zone. The result is fewer total access points reducing deployment and operational costs and substantially easing the management burden.

“We evaluated several wireless LAN products, but when we saw Meru’s demonstration, our decision was easy,” said James Pierce, Chief Information Officer, The Monitor Group. “We were able to configure and deploy the system, with consistent security and access policies, in a matter of minutes, to address the challenges of our particular environment and the needs of our mobile workers.” He added, “The combination of simple deployment and management, the unique, single channel approach and Meru’s ability to handle multiple data applications, as well as voice, to meet our future needs, convinced us that Meru was the only WLAN solution that made sense.”

“The Monitor Group is a perfect example of how global enterprises can gain tremendous productivity benefits by implementing the right wireless LAN solution,” said Kamal Anand, senior vice president of international sales and corporate strategy, Meru Networks. “Leveraging our unique ability to deliver reliable, pervasive coverage without complex network configuration and management schemes, The Monitor Group can give its employees secure and consistent access to the applications they need, from any location.”
