WildPackets Announces New AiroPeek™ Pricing Matrix

802.11a, Wireless Bundles Add to Product Profile

Walnut Creek, California - April 22, 2002

WildPackets Inc., developers of award winning network and Internet management tools, today announced a price restructuring for their popular AiroPeek 802.11 Analyzer. With this new structure, the industry's first full-featured, affordable wireless LAN analyzer becomes even more attractively priced.

AiroPeek employs a concise, clearly-rendered user interface to isolate security problems, fully decode 802.11b WLAN protocols, and analyze wireless network performance with accurate identification of signal strength, channel and data rates. Expansive, customizable decoders; simple and advanced filtering options; and support for Cisco, Symbol, Nortel, Intel, 3Com and Lucent wireless NICs are just some of the software's standout features. And, as with all WildPackets' "Peek" products, AiroPeek has the ability to open multiple live capture windows, each with independent filter and packet analysis parameters.

"Since its release in early 2001, AiroPeek has enjoyed widespread acceptance by IT Professionals in the global WLAN marketplace, and by developers of wireless network devices," states Janice Spampinato, WildPackets' Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "By lowering the product price, we believe AiroPeek will meet with even greater success in the small to medium business market. And the release of AiroPeek NX for the enterprise allows us to offer a greater price differential between the two products."

AiroPeek NX™, released in late March, is WildPackets' Real-Time Expert wireless LAN analyzer for site surveys, security audits, WLAN network management and troubleshooting.

Both AiroPeek and AiroPeek NX support a broad range of 802.11b cards, and will include support for the Atheros 802.11a chipset later this year. Product details can be found at http://www.wildpackets.com/products/.
