Aruba Networks Selected by University of Wyoming for Pervasive Wireless LAN

Low Cost, Ease-of-Use, and Robust Performance Were Key Evaluation Criteria

SUNNYVALE, CA–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARUN), a global

leader in wireless LANs and secure unified mobility solutions, today

announced that the University of Wyoming has selected Aruba’s adaptive

wireless LAN and AirWave Wireless Management Suite for deployment at its

Laramie campus. Founded in 1887 as a land grant institution, the

university is today home to more than 13,000 students and the sole provider

of baccalaureate and graduate education in the state. The university

sought to replace its legacy wireless network with a more reliable, easier

to manage solution, and selected Aruba based on its low cost, robust

design, and centralized management architecture.

“Our legacy wireless network of Fat APs was fast approaching the end of its

service life, and we wanted to replace all existing APs and expand access

to the entire campus using a more robust, feature-rich network that the IT

staff could centrally monitor and manage,” said Robert Morrison, the

university’s director of telecommunications and systems services. “Our

technical investigation showed that Aruba offered the most cost-effective

solution, integrating a flexible, scalable architecture with the powerful,

easy-to-use AirWave management software. The analytics available from the

AirWave software open a window into the status and operation of the entire

network, backed by a detailed report generator for analyzing trends.”

The robust performance of Aruba’s wireless LANs is achieved through

Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology that automatically adjusts the

network to compensate for new clients, sources of interference, and the

type of applications in use. Aruba’s interoperable architecture supports

all standard clients including Centrino, Pentium, and Apple — an essential

feature given the wide range of PCs typically in use on university

campuses.

“Universities rely on their wireless LANs as an essential communications

medium for students, faculty, and staff, and as such they must perform well

in what is a very dynamic and challenging environment,” said Robert

Fenstermacher, Aruba Higher Education Marketing. “Whether enabling

interactive learning in densely populated lecture halls, distributing

streaming video lectures, or providing softphone capabilities on mobile

devices like Apple’s iPhone, our adaptive wireless LANs are up to the

challenge. Used in conjunction with the vendor-neutral AirWave management

platform, the result is a standards-based secure mobility solution with

industry-leading throughput and low installation and operating costs.”
