SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 26, 2007 – Meru Networks, the leader in standards-based workplace mobility infrastructure for wireless voice (VoIP), data and video, today announced it has been honored with an unprecedented two “Best of Show” awards at the recent Interop Tokyo. Meru’s AirShield Security Suite won in the network communications security category, while Meru’s 3-Tier Traffic Distribution System (3TDS) won in the wireless and mobile product category. The Interop show, which showcases the latest platform products and technology for realizing optimum network environments was held in Tokyo, Japan on June 11-15, 2007.

The Interop Best of Show Awards 2007 recognize the product, solution or service that best reflect this year’s theme of “The Internet: Solutions to Accelerate Your Business”. This is the second year in a row that Meru’s innovative wireless products have been recognized at the show. In 2006, Meru Networks was a recipient of the Interop Tokyo Grand Prize for its RS-400 radio switch.

“Japanese enterprises are leaders in adopting wireless technologies to drive increased business productivity,” said Steve Troyer, vice president, product marketing, Meru Networks. “We’re excited that our products have been recognized for the second year in a row at Interop Tokyo as leading the industry in wireless and security.”

Meru’s 3TDS is an option available with the Meru System Director operating system, which provides a flexible and cost-effective approach to handling the increased network load driven by 802.11n. 3TDS will significantly reduce costs of 802.11n migration by providing a unique and effective alternative to expensive upgrades to the wired Ethernet switching backbone.
