As such, Reedy will focus on expanding the company's penetration in the healthcare, education and distribution enterprise markets.

"I am excited about the opportunity to join this dynamic company that is well positioned in an exploding market," said Reedy. "The use of wireless LANs in the enterprise is transitioning from nice-to-have to must-have, and I am impressed by the technology that the 7signal team has developed to enable reliable, end-to-end service."
