  • Trapeze Networks

    Trapeze Networks, the award winning provider of the wireless LAN (WLAN) Mobility System, has incorporated several new security features into its Mobility System Software. Enhancements to the existing platform enable IT departments to maximize availability of the wireless network by thwarting denial of service attacks, and to ensure the performance of user data transiting the network by identifying and eliminating various kinds of intrusions. Additional features extend rogue detection capabilities and simplify management and treatment of different types of unauthorized access points.

    "The rapid pace at which corporations have embraced WLAN technology has introduced new requirements for securing and managing corporate information while at the same time providing satisfactory service levels," said Bruce Van Nice, vice president of marketing, Trapeze Networks. "The underlying architectural strength of our Mobility System Software (MSS), specifically the Mobility Domain with its distributed database, lends itself beautifully to solving these kinds of problems in a scalable and reliable way."

  • Standard Pacific

    Standard Pacific, one of the nation's largest homebuilders, has expanded its presence in California's Central Valley, through the formation of a Central Valley division. The newly-formed division signals the company's commitment to expand its presence in the Central Valley, where it has operated for some time through its Bay Area divisions. The new Central Valley division will complement the Company's recent entry into the Bakersfield market, through its acquisition of Probuilt Homes in March 2005. "We are excited about the opportunities the Central Valley region will afford us," stated Stephen Scarborough, the company's chairman and CEO. "The region has experienced positive economic trends, gaining prominence in the State of California. These new divisions will allow us to diversify into lower price points, and will complement our operations in Northern California where we are ranked as one of the largest homebuilders in the region."

  • Cingular Wireless

    Cingular Wireless has entered into a 10-year distribution agreement with RadioShack Corporation that will give Cingular more than 5,000 new sales outlets across the United States. This agreement also will make RadioShack Cingular's single largest distribution outlet. Cingular, a joint venture between SBC Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corporation, will sell its full line of post-paid products and GoPhone pre-paid products through RadioShack stores beginning in the first quarter of 2006-2007. Cingular is the nation's largest wireless company, with more than 51.6 million customers.
