Posted on: Wednesday, 3 August 2005, 12:00 CDT

TerraWave Solutions announced today it has signed a Solutions Technology Integrator (STI) agreement with Cisco Systems, Inc. As part of this agreement, Cisco and TerraWave Solutions have entered into a technology relationship whereby TerraWave Solutions will offer NEMA enclosures, which includes Cisco wireless technology. Cisco's STI partners are technology manufacturers that sell, service and support solutions directly or indirectly to end-users as part of an integrated hardware, software, and service offering. These offerings contain specified Cisco technologies as a critical component.

"This new go-to-market channel model will help Cisco enter new vertical markets, such as retail and healthcare and other technology markets that we traditionally haven't focused on," said Edison Peres, vice president of Advanced Technologies, Worldwide Channels at Cisco Systems. "The STI agreement recognizes Cisco partners such as TerraWave for having the ability to manufacture and sell integrated solutions. Forging these relationships will help accelerate the adoption of Cisco technologies in key vertical markets."

TerraWave Solutions' NEMA enclosures are designed to protect Cisco's wireless products from environmental threats such as heat, cold, dust and rain as well as theft and tampering. Providing an aesthetically pleasing and more reliable wireless solution, for both indoor and outdoor applications, the enclosures also provide protection in Plenum areas as well as provide protection in Intrinsically Safe applications. TerraWave's Wi-Fi NEMA enclosures are used in vertical markets where the protection and enhancement of a Cisco 802.11 deployment is crucial including, education, government, military, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, retail, commercial, manufacturing, distribution and office buildings.

TerraWave Solutions will work with Cisco Aironet(R) wireless products. TerraWave Solutions strength as an experienced Wi-Fi solution provider ensures that customers receive Cisco's quality WLAN technologies along with TerraWave's unrivaled value added consulting and support services.
