Solutions

New LA-200E Tracks Up to 4,000 Wi-Fi Assets Including 802.11n

PLEASANTON, Calif., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Trapeze Networks, a Belden brand
(NYSE: BDC), today announced its new Trapeze LA-200E Location Appliance(TM), a
system that quickly and continuously locates and tracks anything broadcasting
a Wi-Fi signal.  The Trapeze LA-200E doubles the number of clients it supports
and is the first product supporting locating and tracking 802.11n clients. 
The LA-200E works in concert with Wi-Fi equipment from a wide variety of WLAN
infrastructure providers in addition to Trapeze Networks NonStop Wireless
infrastructure.

Location, Location, Location
Increased productivity and lowered costs propelled wireless networks into its
position as the network of choice - whether at home or the office.  And now
we're beginning to see wholly new types of wireless services and location
services are in the forefront of these.

Location applications fall broadly into four categories:
    --  Location Tracking:  Finding a person or valuable asset in real time
    --  Location-based Security:  Controlling network access based on the
        location of a client device
    --  Asset Management:  maintaining and servicing equipment inventory and
        maximizing utilization
    --  Content Delivery:  providing users appropriate content based on their
        location.




Trapeze LA-200E Location Appliance:  Comprehensive and Cost Effective
Unlike every other Wi-Fi location tracking products requiring time-consuming
installation of client software on every device to be tracked, the Trapeze
LA-200E Location Appliance tracks and locates any Wi-Fi device, a more
flexible approach and time-saving advantage.  The Trapeze LA-200E Location
Appliance base platform is priced at US$15,995.00 and is immediately available
to all Trapeze channel partners, VARs and customers in the U.S., Asia and
Europe, Middle East and Africa.

LA-200E + RF-Firewall(TM) = Perfect Perimeter Security
In conjunction with the announcement of the LA-200E, Trapeze Networks is
announcing its first perimeter security product for WLANs:  the RF Firewall. 
This combination provides a cost effective and integrated WIPS/WIDS
alternative for enhanced location-based data security (See June 29, 2009 press
release, "Trapeze Networks RF Firewall: Location-Based WLAN Security,
Perimeter Security Solution Ultimate Cyber Barrier.")

LA-200E and ActiveAsset(TM) for Comprehensive Asset Tracking and Management
Another complimentary application in the Trapeze RTLS portfolio is ActiveAsset
4.0, which was announced in April 2009.  ActiveAsset is an asset tracking and
management application for WLANs that enables enterprises to improve business
efficiency and reduce asset management costs.
