Extricom Expands Operations in Germany to Deliver Next-Generation WLAN

Interop, Berlin, November 6 (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Accelerating Customer Projects and Strategic Distribution
Partnerships Drive Significant New Investment in D-A-CH Region

Extricom, a designer and manufacturer of high-performance, next
generation wireless LAN infrastructure solutions for the enterprise,
today announced a significant expansion of its European operations,
including the signing of a seasoned wireless executive and the
establishment of its D-A-CH headquarters in Munich. The investment is
accompanied by the installation of a broad sales infrastructure with
distributors and system partners. Customers such as Doppelmayr, the
Austrian manufacturer of lifts and mountain railways, have chosen
Extricom's award-winning Interference-Free(TM) WLAN system, and
discovered unprecedented Wi-Fi performance and enterprise design
flexibility.

Extricom's patented WLAN system represents the next generation of
enterprise Wi-Fi, with a fundamental shift in architecture from
"cell-planning" to a "channel blanket" topology. The technology
eliminates the co-channel interference that plagues traditional WLAN
systems, to deliver seamless and zero-latency mobility, robust,
'wire-like' client connections, and the ability to design for a
guaranteed and predictable level of service for all users. All this,
without the iterative and costly RF cell-planning of traditional
solutions. The result is a high-performance yet simple solution for
powering the enterprise triple play of data, voice (VoWLAN), and
video.

Strong market reception in Europe has led Extricom to engage in an
aggressive expansion program for the region, commencing with the
arrival of Wilfried Schon, as General Manager D-A-CH, and the opening
of D-A-CH headquarters in Munich. Wilfried Schon is an experienced
sales professional with deep understanding of the D-A-CH arena in
both enterprise and service provider markets.

"In four short months, we have established sales and field
engineering presence in Germany. Our mission is to build local
capability in each of our key markets, to ensure we accelerate the
development of a high-performance distribution channel, and further
propel the already-healthy customer traction we have seen in Europe,"
said Wilfried Schon.

In Germany, Extricom has already signed distribution agreements
with BFIoptilas, Firstwave and Scalcom. In addition, numerous
resellers have been certified, including Argus, RubyTech,
Wirelessconsulting, Telefonbau Schneider, Asbeck, Richter Consulting
and Funklandtechnik. And, as part of its expansion in Switzerland,
Extricom has signed its first channel partners, Wassmer and Zürcher.

"Our reseller and partner base is critical to our success in the
region," explained Wilfried Schon. "Our partners have already
generated significant interest in the Extricom solutions, and we
therefore anticipate rapid growth in our customer based in the
region."
