MapInfo Unveils Wi-Fi Partnerships at SUPERCOMM 2003 ATLANTA, May 30, 2003 - MapInfo Working with Ekahau and Bridgewater Systems to Deliver End-to-End Wi-Fi Solution for Hot Spots and the Managed Enterprise MapInfo Corporation (Nasdaq: MAPS) has announced joint marketing and development agreements with Wi-Fi leaders Ekahau and Bridgewater Systems(TM), to deliver a complete, end-to-end Wi-Fi location management solution. MapInfo offers the ability to accurately map and visualize Wireless LAN (WLAN) networks that are near a given customer, near existing serving facilities or for planned build-out of WLANs tied to existing enterprise networks. Through a combination of accurate street level data, wireless infrastructure data and spatial architecture, MapInfo provides the foundation in which WLAN network providers can understand "where" their networks are, "what" is tied to their networks, and provides them the "how" to better plan and manage their networks. MapInfo, Ekahau and Bridgewater Systems will demonstrate their Wi-Fi solutions and plans at MapInfo's booth (#20747) at SUPERCOMM, June 1-5, at the Georgia World Conference Center. Through this partnership, MapInfo plans to offer a full range of custom solutions and supporting architecture to enhance the planning, engineering, operations and customer care of Wi-Fi Hot Spots (the public location where users can remotely connect to the Internet through a Wi-Fi network) and Enterprise WLANs. "Wi-Fi presents a significant market opportunity for MapInfo. As with any network, Wi-Fi networks require site selection, network expansion, maintenance and customer care," said Lonnie Floyd, strategic industry director, communications, MapInfo. "We are excited to be working with Ekahau and Bridgewater Systems, as our solutions will allow service providers to visualize their networks, or the networks they're managing for their customer, select optimal sites for access points, maximize revenues through smart network planning, and reduce customer churn by ensuring customer satisfaction." There are numerous instances where a network provider of managed enterprise services could use these solutions to manage their network. For example, a service provider for a large enterprise could use these Wi-Fi solutions to determine how to configure access points and dynamically manage them on an ongoing basis. Visualizing the wireless LAN on a map, the operator or manager could easily determine how many access points would be necessary to cover a specific floor or area. "As enterprises deploy wireless LANs en masse, they must address the attendant security, performance and management issues. Bridgewater Systems' authentication, monitoring and management offering for wireless LANs, complemented with the MapInfo and Ekahau offerings, addresses these needs for customers," said Celine Bak, vice president of products, Bridgewater Systems. "Ekahau has one of the first location-based site survey tools, having the capability to deliver visual detail and data about the network performance and RF properties within the WLAN site location. The Ekahau Site Survey(TM) software combined with Bridgewater Systems and MapInfo's technology offers customers a unique tool to remotely analyze and manage the Wi-Fi network at the site level," said Lare Lekman, CTO, Ekahau Inc.
