WildPackets' Expert Analyzer Wins Network Computing "Well-Connected" Award

Walnut Creek, CA and Las Vegas, NV - May 8, 2002

WildPackets Inc., developers of EtherPeek™ NX, announced that their real-time expert analyzer has won a coveted "Well-Connected" Award from Network Computing magazine at the NetWorld + InterOp event in Las Vegas this week. This award adds to the honors and industry recognition WildPackets innovative expert technology has received recently.

In April, EtherPeek NX was pronounced "Product of the Year" in the protocol analyzer category by the editors of Network Magazine, while its wireless counterpart, AiroPeek NX, earned eWEEK's Analyst's choice award in the same month.

In announcing the award at a presentation at N+I, Fritz Nelson, publisher of CMP's Network Computing, said "Being a Well-Connected winner is a true reflection of product quality, rather than merely product popularity or marketing effectiveness." EtherPeek NX was nominated and chosen as the winner in its category for the software's superior expert diagnostics; unique, elliptical Peer Map; real-time analysis; highly intuitive GUI; support for multiple capture windows; hierarchical Expert Analysis system; and aggressive pricing.

Accepting the award for WildPackets, President and CEO Mahboud Zabetian stated "The accolades for EtherPeek NX are greatly appreciated. WildPackets made a directed decision to provide relevant expert technology that addresses the issues faced by IT Professionals managing contemporary wired and wireless networking infrastructures. The industry recognition given through this and other recent, high-profile awards for EtherPeek and AiroPeek NX more than validates that decision."
