Aruba's Enterprise Wireless LAN Market Share Soars in New Dell'Oro Report

Revenue, Unit Shipments, and 802.11n Gains Are Significant and Further Tighten Aruba's Grip as Second Overall in Market Share
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - 09/02/09) - Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN - News), a global leader in wireless LANs and secure mobility solutions, today announced that its total enterprise unit shipments grew more than 35% from 1 Q 2009 to 2 Q 2009, according to market research firm Dell'Oro Group's just-released "Second Quarter 2009 Wireless LAN Report." Aruba's revenue market share for dependent enterprise access point and controller sales, both direct and OEM, rose from 12.8% in the first quarter to more than 16% in the second quarter. Over the same period, Aruba's 802.11n revenue market share rose from 17.2% to nearly 21%. These results solidify Aruba's second place market share standing, and further distance it from lower ranked competitors.
"Customers focus on value in a down economy, and Aruba is the value leader in this market," said Keerti Melkote, Aruba's co-founder and CTO. "Our growth comes in part from customers who are tired of overpaying for needless wired infrastructure and are drawn to Aruba's network rightsizing message. Our financial strength and focus on standards and interoperability is also helping us take share from struggling niche players. The net result is that our market share is rising, and we're adding new customers at a record rate -- over 600 for Aruba's last fiscal quarter alone."
The Dell'Oro report notes that the 802.11n enterprise dependent access point market grew roughly 53% from 1 Q 2009 to 2 Q 2009. "The transition from 802.11abg to 802.11n is clearly gaining speed, driven by customers' desire to use wireless wherever possible, Ethernet only where necessary," continued Melkote. "That migration plays to our technical strengths because Aruba's 802.11n solutions deliver wire-like performance and lower life-cycle costs."
Aruba's standards-based, adaptive 802.11n wireless LANs optimize Wi-Fi performance in real-time by virtue of its centralized architecture and Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology. ARM uses infrastructure-based controls to manage how Wi-Fi clients interact, ensuring that data, voice, and video applications have sufficient network resources to operate properly. An Aruba technical brief, "802.11n Client Throughput Performance," describing client field test results can be downloaded from Aruba's Web site. A white paper, titled "ARM Yourself to Increase Enterprise WLAN Data Capacity," is available outlining the technical features of ARM.
The new Dell'Oro report, titled "Second Quarter 2009 Wireless LAN Report," is available for purchase from Dell'Oro at www.delloro.com.

Global Engineering Consultancy Atkins Achieves Significant Increases in Productivity Leveraging HyperWorks Simulation Platform

HyperWorks CAE modelling, visualization and optimization tools reduce project timescales, allowing Atkins to improve service to aerospace OEM clients
TROY, Mich., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair Engineering, Inc., a leading global provider of technology and services that empowers client innovation and decision-making, announced today, that international engineering and design consultancy Atkins has selected HyperWorks' pre- and post-processing solutions, HyperMesh and HyperView as standard tools for future design projects. The decision follows measured business benefits from the suite including productivity and efficiency gains, the flexible business model and a common platform for supporting Atkins' multi-solver environment.
"The majority of cost incurred when performing finite element (FE) analysis is during the initial model-generation phase, so reducing the amount of time spent at this stage is extremely valuable to us and our clients," said Jon Gittoes, FE team leader at Atkins. "Basically it comes down to minimising the time it takes to get from initial geometry to a working model, and that's what HyperMesh does so well. HyperMesh has excellent geometry idealization, which significantly improves our design efficiency and has a large impact on the overall project timescales."
As a leader in engineering and design consultation to the aerospace market, Atkins is an approved supplier to leading international aerospace OEMs. Atkins' recent project work includes aircraft heavy landing and bird-strike analysis for Airbus, Rolls-Royce gas turbines development and even the 1000mph BLOODHOUND Supersonic Car project. The efficiencies of the HyperWorks suite have played an important part in helping Atkins deliver successful projects to its global client base.
"The continuing trend towards composite materials and non-linear analysis is significantly increasing the complexity of analysis pre- and post-processing. Using a common tool to build models for a variety of analysis codes allows our engineers to work on a wide variety of projects," Mr. Gittoes added. "We are using HyperWorks to investigate problems as varied as the design of turbomachinery transmission test rigs, assessing aircraft heavy landings and the concept design of the BLOODHOUND SSC. HyperWorks has the features that we need to develop and manage large models, which is particularly important for our non-linear impact work."
"Altair's customer support team have also helped us integrate HyperWorks into our existing design processes and quickly train our engineers," Mr. Gittoes noted. "The Altair support team regularly visits and helps solve any of our technical issues. The most important advantage HyperWorks has given us is the flexibility to meet our clients' needs. Whether that's in terms of their timescales or in using the most appropriate solver code, it's really about being able to deliver the results our clients need, when they need them."
In addition to HyperMesh and HyperView, Atkins has successfully deployed HyperWorks' optimization solution, OptiStruct, in the BLOODHOUND SSC project with excellent results. The technology is now being assessed broadly across Atkins' aerospace projects to minimize material usage and component weight.
"It is gratifying to see Atkins realizing all the business benefits working with Altair and the HyperWorks simulation suite offers," said Maurice Linscott, regional director, Altair UK operations. "With increasing pressure on consultancies to deliver projects on shorter timescales coupled with the drive for weight reductions and materials savings across the aerospace industry, it is vital that our clients are able to concentrate their efforts on activities that add value to their customers. Model generation is a vital, but functional, step in designing innovative products; HyperWorks is enabling our clients to significantly reduce this stage and to focus on delivering innovation throughout their design process."

Sector 10, Inc. Releases PLX-3D Software Demonstration Link

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 1, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sector 10, Inc. (OTCBB:SECI - News; Frankfurt:4SR - News) announces the release of a demonstration of its PLX-3D software capabilities in video format on its web site.
Web Link: http://www.sector10.com/plx3duifm/default.htm
The Sector 10 PLX-3D software is designed to deliver real time situational awareness in any disaster or emergency. The PLX-3D application and the SRU's or Stationary Response Units deliver a complex yet simple solution to many of the shortcomings that have plagued corporate facilities, business continuity and responders alike.
Sector 10 CEO, Pericles DeAvila stated, "Today, Sector 10 products meet and exceed the 2009 NFPA and International Fire Code requirements. We now have a comprehensive solution that bridges both private and public sectors in a cohesive response system that has eluded us all for years."
Sector 10's products allow the distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) to people immediately after an incident happens. The products make it easier to perform floor to floor assessments within high-rises buildings. The PLX-3D system provides the emergency responders a clear view of the building and the ability to perform a clear analysis of the needs of the affected thereby increasing their ability to save lives. Adding this level of communication and tying the emergency response community with the private sector increases the survival capabilities of the victims. Additionally, it gives victims the tools that allow them self-sufficiency before and after the first responders arrive.
A new picture is painted. Not only is there a coordinated effort immediately apparent, but also the availability of needed tools and resources in pre-deployed areas has become essential. In effect, Sector 10's tools reduce the guesswork for the building occupants and provide first responders with additional resources at their command to save lives.
About Sector 10, Inc.
Sector 10, Inc. is redefining the emergency response paradigm from centralized equipment staging to onsite pre-deployed resources. Sector 10 is the only emergency response systems company so strongly emphasizing pre-deployed resources as the way to save lives, avert injuries, reduce liability and to "Bridge the Survival Gap." http://www.sector10inc.com
