Network Computing has declared Airespace the recipient of their prestigious "Editor's Choice Award." Airespace received this award after demonstrating the most feature-rich and cost-effective WLAN solution in response to a sample Request for Proposal (RFP) submitted on behalf of Syracuse University's School of Information Studies. In a broad field of WLAN vendors -- fourteen received invitations to participate; only seven actually had equipment available for evaluation -- Network Computing determined that Airespace's solution had the best combination of features, functionality, and value, therefore earning them the magazine's coveted top honor.

"We were impressed with the Airespace system's ease of setup, security features, adaptability to the changing RF environment, and pack-leading throughput and range results," said Dave Molta, senior technology editor at Network Computing. "Airespace's system blew through all our tests without breaking a sweat."

"The Network Computing 'Editors Choice Award' is a great validation of the Airespace solution and team," said Brett Galloway, chief executive officer of Airespace. "By going the distance over a crowded field of both incumbent and startup competitors, Airespace has proven to the industry that we are setting the standard for business-class wireless LANs."

This is the third top industry honor received by Airespace since shipping its wireless platform in April of this year. Most recently, Airespace was given the "World Class Award" by Network World magazine for topping a short-list of leading WLAN players in a hands-on product evaluation. Prior to that, Airespace was the only wireless switch nominated by InfoWorld readers as one of the "Best Wireless Products" of 2003.
