Trapeze Networks®, the award-winning provider of Smart Mobile(TM) wireless solutions, has announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the visionaries quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure" 2007 report. Gartner determines "visionary" vendors based on their "ability to increase features in its offering to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market."

Trapeze's Smart Mobile(TM) architecture has gained traction for its intelligent switching capabilities that allow customers to optimize network traffic based on the underlying application.

"In 2007, Trapeze experienced tremendous growth across the enterprise and key vertical markets such as government, education, healthcare and retail," said Feras Zeidan, Regional Manager, Trapeze Networks. "Our direct branded business drove much of this growth, though the company remains strong in our technology and OEM partnerships. Customers continue to choose Trapeze for the benefits inherent in our Smart Mobile architecture."

In 2007 Trapeze announced major enhancements to Smart Mobile, which leads the industry in enterprise Wi-Fi technology. The enhancements introduce significant innovations in WLAN availability and resiliency, resulting in an "always-on" wireless network.
