Strix Systems Incorporates SpectraLink Voice Priority

Strix Completes Interoperability Testing and Announces Customer Deployment

CALABASAS, Calif., – June 1, 2004 – Strix Systems, a technology leader in wireless local area networking systems, announced today that it has completed interoperability testing with SpectraLink Corporation (Nasdaq: SLNK), an industry pioneer in enterprise wireless communications. The new Strix solution will allow customers to deploy the Access/One Network wireless LAN system in conjunction with SpectraLink’s NetLink Wireless Telephone solution to support both data and voice users on a single managed and secure wireless network.

"Voice over wireless LAN is a growing segment of the fast growing WLAN market" said Audian Paxson, director of business development for Strix. "We are excited to partner with a market leader like SpectraLink to offer our customers a comprehensive wireless solution that will support their wireless voice and data requirements."

Strix Systems is committed to the proposition of eliminating the need for wire in local area network deployments. Removing the need to wire both the data and voice networks improves the ROI and provides greater benefits for companies deploying wireless LANs. Unlike most wireless networking systems, the Strix Access/One Network even eliminates the need to run Ethernet to the nodes or access points, providing ease of deployment and flexibility that is not available in traditional wireless LAN deployments.

"We are pleased to be interoperable with the Access/One Network with our NetLink Wireless Telephone portfolio," said Ben Guderian, director of marketing for SpectraLink. "Strix’s unique mesh technology allows for fast and cost effective deployments of wireless networks, improving on our ability to deliver our customers complete wireless voice solutions."

One of Strix Systems’ early customers, Lieberman Research Worldwide, deployed a Voice over WLAN system using SpectraLink NetLink Wireless Telephones in conjunction with their Strix Access/One Network. "We have highly mobile workers in our facilities," said David Froemke, director of information technology at LRW. "The SpectraLink Strix solution provides us instant access to information, delivered by data or voice, providing us a competitive advantage. It was simple to deploy and easy to operate, minimizing the involvement required from my staff."

Strix Systems implemented SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) in the Access/One Network to ensure quality of service for voice calls in Access/One Network deployments that support both voice and data. Strix handles the processing required for SVP within silicon instead of software, optimizing network performance and quality of service. The introduction of the SpectraLink Strix solution makes high quality simultaneous integrated voice and data delivery over completely wireless local area networks a reality.
