AirDefense and Motorola Form Industry Alliance to Deliver Powerful Solution for Designing, Installing and Maintaining Optimal, Secure Wireless Networks.

LAS VEGAS -- AirDefense InSite Suite(TM) offers integrated site survey and complete 3D RF predictive design and simulation, with real-time performance, security and compliance monitoring and troubleshooting

AirDefense, the innovator that launched the wireless LAN security market, and Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) have formed an industry alliance to deliver an integrated product suite that enables engineers and network architects to accurately and cost-effectively design, install, maintain and troubleshoot wireless networks for optimal performance and security. AirDefense InSite Suite(TM) includes AirDefense Survey(TM) - Powered by Motorola InFielder(R) and AirDefense Architect(TM) - Powered by Motorola LANPlanner(R), which are designed to help enterprises slash the time and effort required to plan, deploy, test and maintain wireless networks in and around buildings.

AirDefense InSite Suite integrates the RF design and measurement technology from Motorola with AirDefense Enterprise to form the industry's most comprehensive, scalable performance and protection platform for wireless networks.

"AirDefense is known for its innovation and we are excited to align with them to offer an integrated WLAN site survey and complete 3D RF predictive design and simulation solution," said Kevin DeSpain, sales director of Motorola's RF Design and Management Software Division. "Together we have created an offering that ensures the highest levels of security and performance for the enterprise wireless LAN, while minimizing the costs and resources to deploy and maintain it."

"Enterprises need an efficient method to design wireless networks not only for performance, but also for security, and AirDefense is proud to work with Motorola to develop unique and innovative solutions that help our customers do just that," said David Thomas, vice president of product management for AirDefense. "By optimizing and securing the wireless network for a site-specific environment before deployment, businesses achieve quicker return on investment in wireless networks."

By standardizing wireless network plans on AirDefense Architect and AirDefense Survey, users can achieve a scalable and repeatable planning and deployment process that is a critical part of creating networks with the capacity, reliability and performance required for today's demanding mobile environments. Network designers use AirDefense Architect to predict and simulate performance of the wireless LAN (WLAN) in a building before actually deploying wireless devices. The software considers the key factors that impact the quality of service and the security offered by a wireless network - the environment, applications and number of users - and utilizes this knowledge and its impact on the intended wireless network performance when enabling the design. As a result, architects can significantly reduce costs by optimizing equipment utilization using "what if" scenarios and by eliminating the cost of retrofitting deployed equipment.

"There is clear need for a complete set of tools that provide accurate wireless LAN planning functionality at an affordable price," said Lisa Phifer, vice president of Core Competence, a network and security consulting firm. "The integration of these types of offerings makes them more desirable than stand-alone point solutions."

By using an AutoCAD or electronic drawing and defining building environments from an extensive materials definition library, AirDefense Architect leverages rich 3D graphics to help designers visualize RF signal propagation in three dimensions and overcome the challenges of coverage holes, poor service areas, capacity and network resource allocation. The powerful, site-specific graphical displays enable users to efficiently and effectively track, display and document their network infrastructure.

AirDefense Survey, which provides field level measurements of 802.11 networks for site surveys, is an affordable tool that performs real-time data networking measurements such as latency, throughput and delay. Designers can use AirDefense Survey to confirm and optimize the models predicted by AirDefense Architect and rapidly verify the performance of the WLAN network.

AirDefense Architect and AirDefense Survey run on any Windows laptop or tablet PC and can use a host of popular Wi-Fi PCMCIA wireless cards as measurement receivers. For more information, visit www.airdefense.net.
