Bandspeed and Level Platforms Deliver Integrated WLAN Monitoring Solution for Managed Services

Bandspeed`s AirMaestro WLAN products now supported by Level Platforms managed
services platform
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Bandspeed, a leading provider of next generation WLAN solutions for the
small-to-medium enterprise (SME), today announced its partnership with Level
Platforms, a leading provider of remote monitoring and management software, to
enhance their managed services offering for their solution provider customers.
Solution providers using Level Platforms` remote monitoring and management
software, Managed Workplace, will now be able to remotely monitor Bandspeed`s
Wi-Fi access points. This will allow their solution providers to deploy and
proactively manage the performance of their customers` AirMaestro WLANs.

"Enterprises continue to deploy Wi-Fi networks to improve efficiency, enhance
communications, and lower costs. For SMEs, there is also an industry movement
towards Managed IT Services," said Bob Mayer, vice president of sales and
marketing for Bandspeed. "Our partnership with Level Platforms helps fulfill our
vision of equipping IT solutions providers with all the tools they need to
extend their managed services offering to cover our enterprise-class WLAN
solutions."

The Bandspeed AirMaestro WLAN solution combines AirMaestro 3100AG Virtual
Controller Access Points (APs) with AirMaestro WLAN management software to
provide a complete wireless LAN (WLAN) solution. AirMaestro integrates
simultaneous, dual-band Wi-Fi access, wireless security and spectral analysis
into an automated, cost-effective system that is easy to deploy, manage and use.
The Bandspeed AirMaestro WLAN is unique in its ability to bring enterprise-class
performance and manageability to the mass market with features that include:

* AP collaboration to automate WLAN deployment and dynamically optimize
configuration
* Seamless roaming between APs for uninterrupted voice calls
* Interference-aware WLAN with an integrated spectrum analyzer in each AP
* Rogue AP detection and mitigation that can lock down the network
* Three-radio APs for enhanced capacity and security
* Controller-less architecture for cost, reliability and scalability

Through Managed Workplace, VARs using Bandspeed AirMaestro products will be
notified of events and can respond to them more quickly, saving their customers
the cost of sending technicians onsite. In addition, VARs can build managed
services revenues around the Bandspeed AirMaestro product line, creating
recurring revenue streams based on monthly charges for remote
monitoring/management, firmware update management and asset tracking.

"We are proud to welcome an exceptional organization such as Bandspeed to the
Level Platforms Vendor Partner Program," said Ryck Marciniak, Director of Vendor
Alliances for Level Platforms. "The integration of support for the Bandspeed
AirMaestro products with Level Platform`s Managed Workplace will be highly
useful to IT solutions providers as it will help differentiate their service
offering to SME customers."

"Bandspeed is very pleased to be working with Level Platforms," said Bill
Eversole, president and CEO, Bandspeed. "Our enterprise-class AirMaestro WLAN
solution is the ideal platform for Level Platforms` Managed IT Services
customers, allowing them to extend their offering to their customers to include
our award-winning products."
