AirMagnet Ships First Voice-over-WLAN Analysis Instrument for the Encrypted Network; AT&T is Early Adopter of AirMagnet's VoFi Analyzer for Its Business Client Deployments.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- AirMagnet Inc., the award-winning leader in wireless network assurance, announced the availability of the AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer, the first solution to provide automatic analysis of encrypted voice-over-WLAN (VoWLAN) networks. AT&T is one of the first customers to test AirMagnet's VoFi Analyzer. The company's networking engineering and performance analysis lab has been using the VoFi Analyzer to test its voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks and to ensure the performance and security of the wireless networking technology used within its customer network designs. "Voice-over-WLAN is a very new technology that presents its own unique set of challenges, and it's critical to be able to predict and troubleshoot issues that may arise as VoWLAN is mass deployed," said Ron Howell, senior network architect at AT&T. "By giving users the ability to track calls and call quality, and pinpoint the source of call issues, the AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer delivers the highest level of visibility into VoWLAN. This is a critical instrument for anyone delivering voice over a Wi-Fi network."

According to Infonetics' recent Wi-Fi Phones report, the worldwide Wi-Fi phone market is projected to double, and even nearly triple, every year through 2009, when the worldwide market will reach $3.7 billion. "Not only is AirMagnet first to market with an enterprise-scale wireless voice analyzer -- it has delivered a product with a robust feature set that will bring significant value to enterprises as they try to iron out the kinks in their VoWLAN deployments," said Richard Webb of Infonetics Research. "Wireless voice requires a level of quality-of-service that is not easy to achieve. Enterprises thinking of deploying VoWLANs should seriously consider a troubleshooting instrument."

The AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer -- a comprehensive instrument for wireless voice analysis -- monitors VoWLAN calls end to end, from phone, to network, to the IP-PBX. By identifying voice problems -- including choppy audio, dropped calls and coverage dead spots -- then pinpointing their origin and advising responses, it assures users of quick problem resolution. Integration with the IP-PBX, or call manager, lets administrators see end-user data including phone numbers, IP addresses and more. The AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer also features VoWLAN-specific performance alarms, real-time statistical analysis, device analysis and QoS monitoring for complete management and performance analysis of VoWLAN networks. The VoFi Analyzer -- along with AirMagnet's complete line of dedicated wireless analysis products, including AirMagnet Survey, Spectrum Analyzer, Laptop Analyzer and Enterprise -- furthers AirMagnet's mission of wireless network assurance by providing the most complete wireless security, performance and compliance products for even the newest of wireless applications.

"As dual-mode wireless and cellular phones attract interest from enterprises as economical and convenient alternatives to traditional telephones, ensuring the performance and quality of VoWLAN networks will be essential to the success of fixed-mobile convergence," said Greg Yates, executive vice president of AirMagnet. "The VoFi Analyzer fills an existing need for enterprises by helping them solve the common performance problems associated with VoWLAN networks and ensure a positive end-user experience."
