Engim EN-3001 Intelligent Wideband 802.11 WLAN Chipset Named Best Wireless Product of 2004 by analogZONE.

ACTON, Mass. -- Industry Expert Cites Engim's "Quantum Improvements in Throughput, Security and Traffic Management."

Engim, Inc., developers of next-generation silicon that dramatically expands the capacity, security and manageability of wireless LAN infrastructure, today announced that it has been named by the editors of analogZONE, one of the data/telecommunications industry's most informed and authoritative sources, as the Best Wireless Product of the Year. Engim's EN-3001 is the industry's first Intelligent Wideband WLAN Chipset, and was chosen from more than one hundred innovative WLAN products introduced throughout the last year.

The EN-3001 is currently being integrated by leading OEMs, ODMs and vertical market developers, who selected it for its unprecedented multi-channel 802.11 capacity, intelligence and ability to support the full array of enterprise applications. EN-3001-based solutions can ensure the optimized performance of bandwidth-intensive converged services such as voice, video, data and advanced intrusion detection.

Lee Goldberg, analogZONE Editor and Analyst, notes: "Engim's innovative multi-channel radio architecture enables Wi-Fi base station manufacturers to deliver quantum improvements in throughput, security and traffic management that would be too expensive or even impossible with a conventional radio."

Engim's EN-3001 provides the foundation for a new generation of Wi-Fi infrastructure that redefines enterprise networks by enabling access points to flexibly address a wide array of services; today these services typically require the installation of multiple hardware platforms. This "All Services Access Point" (ASAP(TM)) capability enables OEMs to offer AP solutions with the capacity and performance to meet the expanding needs of mission-critical enterprise wireless networks.

Engim-based "All Services APs" are single platforms that can simultaneously support such advanced features and new capabilities as:

--Comprehensive security and real-time intrusion detection that incorporates dedicated Wi-Fi monitoring and control of all channels and bands, providing real-time identification and containment of 802.11 and non-802.11 intrusions and interference - without disrupting end-user traffic;

--Robust capacity and roaming support to best enable the convergence of Wi-Fi data, voice and video across a single platform;

--Enterprise-class manageability and location determination; and

--"Future-proof" extensibility to accommodate large-scale client growth and the ongoing addition of new real-time, business-critical applications and evolving deployment strategies such as mesh networking.

Engim-based access points enable OEMs to deliver solutions with the intelligence, performance and economics to serve as the foundation for highly robust and scalable mission-critical wireless networks.

Engim CEO Nick Finamore concludes: "analogZONE is recognized as a premier source of balanced and accurate information for electronics design engineers. We are delighted to be recognized as analogZONE's Wireless Product of the Year, and will continue to work closely with our OEM partners to reshape the performance, manageability and security of the business-driven enterprise WLAN network."
