SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Meru Networks and Securematics have signed a distribution agreement under which Santa Clara, Calif.-based Securematics will market and distribute Meru's wireless networking infrastructure solutions to its base of service provider, system integrator and value-added reseller partners in the United States.
Gregg Kalman, Meru's vice president of U.S. channels, said the expansion of Meru's U.S. distributor network reflects growing acceptance of its virtual cell wireless architecture and increasing demand for wireless networking products based on the high-performance IEEE 802.11n standard and incorporating advanced security features.
"We are delighted to add Securematics to our family of U.S. distributors," Kalman said. "They have an impressive track record of helping VARs effectively sell technology solutions to a wide variety of customer organizations. The long-standing relationships Securematics has built with Juniper Networks and many other leading-edge vendors speak to an insistence on providing their reseller partners with only the most technically advanced solutions. With 802.11n, Meru's architecture offers a superior solution for customers who want to provide both voice and data over wireless IP, which will fit very well with Securematics' partners."
