AirWave Wireless Wins Prestigious Techworld Wireless Product of the Year Award


San Mateo, CA – July 3, 2007– AirWave Wireless, the leader in wireless network management and security, today announced it has won the prestigious Wireless Product of the Year Award from Techworld.

AirWave Wireless develops the software that enables hundreds of enterprises, large organizations, and service providers to monitor and control their rapidly expanding wireless networks from a single management console. The company’s vendor-agnostic AirWave Wireless Management Suite™ software manages wireless hardware from leading vendors like Cisco, Aruba Networks, Symbol, HP ProCurve, Meru, Trapeze, Proxim, 3Com, Nortel, Foundry, Enterasys, Avaya, Colubris Networks, and many others.


The software is commonly used both by first and second-level helpdesk staff supporting wireless users as well as the most experienced wireless engineers remotely diagnosing and resolving complex RF issues.


The Techworld Awards 2007 recognize products that represent a dramatic advance over pre-existing networking technologies over the past year. Techworld editors researched and selected the products from around the world that have had the most significant impact on the ways in which network managers do their jobs.


“The AirWave Wireless Management Suite 5.0 software won the Wireless product of the year award because AirWave offers organizations a way to manage a diverse set of wireless products – including WiFi, mesh and WiMax – from one easy-to-use console rather than multiple separate consoles,” said Maxwell Cooter, Editor, Techworld. “Unlike competitive products that manage only one vendor’s infrastructure, AirWave handles the increasingly large and complex networks of tomorrow.”


“Winning this award recognizes the great technical advances that AirWave has brought to the field of wireless network management in the past year as well as our market leadership position across Europe and the United States,” said AirWave CEO Gary Hegna. “This award not only validates our unique approach to wireless network management but also motivates us to accelerate the pace of innovation to give network operators the tools they need to control their wireless networks,” he added.
