Microsoft Deploys Meru Wi-Fi to Support Video and Voice Demonstrations at CeBIT
2014
Microsoft IT Leadership Names High-Density Client-Handling
Capabilities and Unmatched Reliability as Key Criteria for Selection
MUNICH, GERMANY -- (Marketwired) -- 03/03/14 -- Meru Networks(R)
(NASDAQ: MERU), a leader in Wi-Fi networking, today announced that
Microsoft(R) has chosen to deploy Meru Wi-Fi solutions to support
demonstrations of its voice and video solutions at CeBIT, which will
be held March 10 through 14 in Hanover. This is the third consecutive
year that Microsoft has deployed a Meru network at CeBIT, the world's
largest IT trade show.
"We have once again chosen to deploy Wi-Fi from Meru in support of
our stand at CeBIT," said Monika Friedrich, fairs and events manager
for Microsoft Deutschland GmbH. "We are convinced about the ability
of the Wi-Fi technology of Meru to handle the high client densities
at the show."
More than a thousand visitors and journalists, more than 600 stand
employees and approximately 45 partners at the stand will have access
to the Meru network via mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets
and notebooks. The 3000 m2 stand -- which spans several floors and
includes a VIP area -- utilizes six different network names (SSIDs).
This project is especially ambitious in Hall 4 at CeBIT, where many
large exhibitors, all of whom also seek to provide visitors with
high-performance WLAN, will be represented. CeBIT organizers expect
up to 70,000 visitors each day to Hall 4 alone.
To support the Microsoft stand, German IT systems house M.S.
IT-Services GmbH will install 60 Meru Networks AP332e-series access
points along with Meru MC4200 mobility controllers. Meru's channel
layering helps ensure broad WLAN coverage, reliability and support
for high capacities. The network design reflects Microsoft's
anticipation that several hundred clients, including web-enabled TV
devices such as Microsoft Xbox One systems, will be simultaneously
connected to the exhibit's WLAN network on a regular basis during the
show. At CeBIT 2013, Microsoft frequently saw more than 600 devices
connect simultaneously to the stand's WLAN. An HP wired network, also
installed by M.S. IT-Services GmbH, will include 1,050 ports, 24
physical and approximately 260 virtual servers with firewalls.
Microsoft Berlin headquarters also equipped with Meru
Microsoft
Deutschland GmbH recently turned to Meru to equip the showroom at the
new branch office in Berlin with two virtualized wireless networks.
Microsoft will use the Meru-enabled modern facilities and lounges to
host new product presentations. The high-performance WLAN supports
the data, speech and video applications of Microsoft solutions and
services.
"We are very pleased that Microsoft has again selected Meru to
support its extensive exhibit at CeBIT," said Tabatha von Koelichen,
regional sales manager for the DACH region at Meru Networks. "This
deployment builds on close work between the two companies to help
ensure that Microsoft's highly advanced voice and video applications
always give their users the best possible experience during the
world's largest IT trade show."
