AirMagnet Provides Wireless Assurance to Tradeshow Technology Provider
Smart City relies on AirMagnet's product suite to manage wireless buildup/teardown at events
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jun 12, 2007 — AirMagnet Inc., the award-winning leader in wireless network assurance solutions, today announced that Smart City, the nation's largest provider of event technology, uses AirMagnet's suite of products for wireless assurance at top tradeshows and conventions across the nation.
Smart City relies on AirMagnet's wireless LAN toolset to plan, manage, troubleshoot and secure the dynamic wireless environments of more than 5,000 tradeshows per year, including the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and venues such as the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando and the Las Vegas Convention Center. The solutions used by Smart City include AirMagnet Enterprise, Laptop Analyzer and Spectrum Analyzer, as well as the company's Survey and Planner tools.
"It's really amazing when you sit back and think about the complexity around wireless networks at these venues," said Ronald Shaul, Director of Technology for Smart City. "We've got new walls and structures that weren't there yesterday, interference from a tremendous amount of new exhibitor and attendee equipment, hundreds of rogue access points, incredible and constantly fluctuating density with thousands of people hitting the network at once. And, with all of this happening in real time, it's a potential nightmare to manage. AirMagnet's tools are an absolute requirement to ensure optimal performance and security in such a dynamic and unpredictable wireless environment."
AirMagnet offers a holistic product suite designed to meet every challenge associated with the WLAN design, deployment, security and management, even in highly variable environments such as tradeshows and conventions. AirMagnet enables organizations to design the WLAN from the ground up, determining the correct number, placement and configuration of APs required for optimal coverage, then monitor, troubleshoot and secure the active network.

With corporate headquarters in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., Smart City provides clients with design, installation and maintenance of data, voice, electrical and utility platforms, coupled with unparalleled voice, video and data network engineering, security and monitoring.
