PLEASANTON, Calif. –- Trapeze Networks™, the award-winning provider of the enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) Mobility System™, today announced that the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (CCLRC), one of Europe’s biggest multidisciplinary research groups, has deployed a Trapeze WLAN with service and support by Telindus, one of Trapeze’s largest European resellers.

This project is one of the largest deployments of its kind in the United Kingdom, and the initial wireless rollout orchestrated by Telindus, consisted of a Trapeze Mobility Exchange™ (MX-400) and 35 dual-radio Mobility Points (MP-352) at the Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire and a MX-400, MX-20, two MX-8s and 45 MPs at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. Dual-radio MPs were vital to the council’s labs to control quality of service in the air. The Council is planning to expand its WLAN to new buildings over the coming months.

Strong guest access capabilities, a cost-effective centralised WLAN architecture and robust planning and management tools were determining factors in choosing a Trapeze WLAN. The Council evaluated a number of systems before deciding on Trapeze.

“The ability to give our staff, visitors, researchers and technologists secure access to the Internet from our labs is increasingly important to us,” said Keith Cope, network support manager at the Daresbury Laboratory. “The Trapeze RingMaster planning and management tool was key to our decision to purchase this system.”
