WildPackets Announces 2003 Road Show

Free Wireless and Expert Packet Analysis Seminars Offered Across Nation

Walnut Creek, CA - January 8, 2003

WildPackets Inc., innovators in packet analysis software development, training and support, announced their 2003 seminar series Road Show, beginning on February 11th in San Diego, California. The Road Show consists of a series of two free half-day seminars focusing on expert packet analysis in wireless and wired networking environments.

The first half of the education-focused Expert Seminar Series day will be devoted to applying five principles of protocol analysis to make sense of Ethernet network behavior. EtherPeek NX, WildPackets' real-time expert LAN analyzer, will be used as the key instructional tool to demonstrate how typical network problems, performance issues, and intrusive behavior can be quickly identified. In the second half, attendees will learn how the IEEE 802.11 standards are implemented in the real-world and how WLAN behavior can be analyzed in both open and encrypted environments. AiroPeek NX, WildPackets' 802.11 expert wireless LAN analyzer, will be used for practical demonstrations.

"In our 2002 seminar program, we discussed the application of protocol analysis to real-world problems. This year, our focus is on how to interpret protocol behavior in an intuitive way using a set of generalized guiding principles. This seminar is going to be surprisingly enlightening for every skill level," said Joseph Bardwell, Vice President of Professional Services at WildPackets. Mr. Bardwell, a recognized speaker, author and protocol analysis expert, will present the seminar series. Dates and registration details are available from: http://www.wildpackets.com/corporate/events/roadshow_info.

About EtherPeek NX and AiroPeek NX

Expert network analysis tools need to be precise in pinpointing problems, relevant for current networks and topologies, and able to accurately detect real symptoms and diagnose real problems. EtherPeek NX and AiroPeek NX have been designed to excel at all of these requirements. These are the first and only protocol analyzers to offer both expert diagnostics and frame decoding in real- time, during capture. The Expert View provides expert analysis of latency, throughput, and dozens of network problems in a conversation-centered view of traffic. The Expert System provides real-time, realistic indications of network traffic conditions and problems, rendered in an intuitive display.
