LTI DataComm Certified on Award Winning Aruba Mesh WIFI Solution
Award winning solution now available to our US Federal Government customers

Sterling, VA – August 24, 2007 – LTI DataComm, a Sterling-based network solutions provider to the Federal Government, is pleased to announce its achievement of becoming Aruba Networks’ first Federal Partner to be certified to sell and support Aruba’s award-winning Aruba Secure Enterprise Mesh 802.11 (WiFi) solution. This solution allows the Federal Government to deliver reliable wireless voice, video and data services with end-to-end security. Aruba Mesh WIFI is specifically geared to enable FIPS 140-2 and DoD Directive 8100.2 compliant wireless connectivity in extreme environments.

“LTI DataComm is pleased to make this solution available to its Federal clients. Aruba Mesh is the most robust wireless solution on the market and meets an impressive array of government requirements,” said John Hall, LTI DataComm VP Sales & Marketing. “We are proud to be the premier Aruba Mesh 802.11 (WiFi) supplier to the US Army. Our extensive competence with wireless technologies, coupled with our Aruba certified technical experts put us in a unique position to serve the needs of the Army and all Federal Agencies alike.”

Aruba’s Secure Enterprise Mesh technology sends information from location to location over a completely wireless network – no new network cabling is required – and is designed for business-critical applications in which highly reliable communications and client-to-core security are important. The wireless mesh can self-organize, determine the optimal path for communication to any given client, and self-heal in the event that a wireless path is blocked or a mesh access point fails. Aruba Mesh WIFI, winner of Best of Interop 2007, utilizes one common infrastructure to serve many networking requirements including WiFi Access, Wireless Intrusion Protection, Wireless Backhaul, LAN Bridging and Point-to-Multipoint Connectivity. The Aruba Mesh solution is managed by a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified controller ensuring the highest level of network security across your entire deployment.

"The Aruba Secure Enterprise Mesh solution will provide DoD and other government agencies with advanced communications capabilities and client-to-core security," said Dan Brigati Aruba's Federal operations director.  "We believe this solution addresses many application requirements in the government market, and we are very pleased to work with top integrators like LTI DataComm to deliver the best technology, security, and technical support to our customers."

This solution is available via LTI DataComm’s GSA schedule, NETCOM-ESTA Wireless BPA, ECS-III and other government contracting vehicles.
