PLEASANTON, California, April 14 /PRNewswire/ --

- Demonstrates Wireless Security and Interoperability

Trapeze Networks participated in the fourth annual "PlugFest" hosted by
the Trusted Computing Group's Trusted Network Connect work group. This was
the third year Trapeze Networks has attended the "PlugFest."

"The TNC PlugFest is where the rubber meets the road," said Ted Fornoles,
a product manager at Trapeze Networks. "Publishing a specification is
important, but its true measure of success is to show that different
implementations by several vendors actually work together. Implementing TNC
allows an enterprise to protect network health, and as corporations deploy
more and more wireless LANs (WLAN) into their infrastructures, Trapeze will
help them maintain this level of security."

The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) hosts the interoperability session to
enable member companies using the TNC specifications to test implementations
with TNC-based products from other vendors. The session is validation of
interoperability in addition to providing discussion and sharing of best
practices and experiences with the specifications.

PlugFest participants test hardware and software supporting the TNC
specifications in a simulated enterprise environment, using more than a dozen
test cases that model common enterprise usage of TNC-based systems.

TCG is an industry standards body formed to develop, define, and promote
open standards for trusted computing and security technologies, including
hardware building blocks and software interfaces, across multiple platforms,
peripherals, and devices.
