LONDON -- Meru Networks, the global innovation leader in wireless infrastructure for the All-Wireless Enterprise, today announced that Solutions Inc., a leading Apple reseller headquartered in Sussex, England, has deployed Meru's Wireless LAN System across all of its offices to provide secure voice and data networking.

Headquartered in Hove, Sussex, Solutions Inc. has been in business for more than 14 years and has built up an impressive reputation as an Apple Centre in the region. Solutions Inc. has been accredited as an Apple Authorised Services Provider, an Apple Solution Expert focused on video, audio, architecture, education and server markets, and an Apple Authorised Training Point, of which there are only five in the UK. Solutions Inc. recently opened new Apple Premium Reseller stores in Brighton and Bournemouth, each offering in excess of 500 Mac and iPod products.

As the company has grown so, too, has the need for a new business telephone system to unify communications across its multiple sites. After selecting Maximiser from SpliceCom, a converged IP communications solution for Apple Mac systems, Solutions Inc. wanted to add single number seamless mobility and Wi-Fi connectivity for employees moving between the company's sites. To accomplish this, they needed to add wireless LAN infrastructure to their sites.

Solutions Inc. evaluated solutions from Aruba Networks, Trapeze Networks, Extricom and Colubris Networks before finally selecting Meru's WLAN System based on its superior Quality of Service and high level of security. "We wanted to provide converged voice and data connectivity over a single wireless LAN infrastructure for our employees," said Aidan Bowen, Technical Director at Solutions Inc. "Our nomadic staff can now use SIP Wi-Fi phones as extensions on our Maximiser system to place and receive phone calls wherever they might be - even if they're walking between two buildings. Meru's WLAN System has already increased productivity and improved communication for our employees. We were really impressed with Meru's approach to customer service and its high level of detail that, in my opinion, is unusual from a vendor."

"Solutions Inc. is a great example of how converged voice and data connectivity can benefit a multi-site organisation," said Mikko Kiukkanen, Business Director for Western Europe at Meru Networks." As the only wireless LAN solution that guarantees application delivery in business-critical converged voice and data applications, Meru provides the convenience of a wireless network and the features of a wired one."
