NEW YORK CITY, August 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- Collaboration of Industry Innovators Lowers Customer Risk While
Maximizing Business Value

Extricom, a designer and manufacturer of high-performance,
next-generation Wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure solutions, today announced
the formation of the Uni-Fi Alliance(TM), a program that furthers the
collaboration of the Wi-Fi ecosystem and maximizes business value through
validated product combinations. Together with Extricom, the founding members
of the Uni-Fi Alliance are AeroScout, AirTight Networks, Ascom, and Kineto
Wireless.

"The multi-application era in WLAN is no longer a promise but
a reality," stated David Confalonieri, vice-president of marketing at
Extricom. "A smart WLAN infrastructure investment can power many uses -
voice, data, video, locationing, and much more. Thanks to the Uni-Fi
Alliance, enterprises and solution providers will benefit from validated
product combinations that streamline deployment and lower project risks."

Uni-Fi Alliance members span a wide range of devices, PBXs,
location services, security appliances, and mobile-to-mobile convergence
products. The alliance enables leading technology innovators to verify
interoperability between products that contribute to a converged,
multi-application WLAN.

"Convergence of services and devices over WLAN offers
significant operational and economic opportunity for businesses of all
kinds," commented Gabi Daniely, vice-president of marketing and product
strategy at AeroScout. "Location-based services and other added-value
applications are contributing to the rapid growth of Wi-Fi deployments, so
interoperability across a broad range of applications is critical for the
emerging generation of Wi-Fi networks."

"While there are established certifications for verifying
basic 802.11 component interoperability, there are few industry-standard APIs
for linking wireless LANs to upstream applications," observed Joanie Wexler,
an independent analyst and editor at Joanie M. Wexler & Associates. "At least
until those emerge, it will reduce enterprise integration headaches if WLAN
vendors work out interoperability and implementation issues upfront with the
suppliers of IP PBXs, location appliances, security appliances, and other
servers that generate application traffic over the Wi-Fi network."
