Trapeze Networks (Pleasanton, California) reported the launch of a new program, "Trapeze Medical," with the goal of extending the company's leadership in the international Wireless LAN healthcare market. Trapeze Medical is focused on three strategies: It will increase the number of Medical-Grade Mobility solutions available to the hospitals, clinics and residential care facilities, help Trapeze Networks' cadre of channel partners become more effective deploying mobile healthcare solutions, and work with its base of existing medical customers to ensure the company has a complete understanding of the ever-changing mobile healthcare market requirements for wireless networking.

"Healthcare, specifically the medical component of healthcare has been an early and enthusiastic wireless networking adopter," said Bart Tillmans, VP of worldwide marketing at Trapeze Networks. "The development of Trapeze NonStop Wireless Networking and Medical-Grade Mobility is completely aligned with the medical market's demanding requirements for mobility and compliance. We are best positioned to lead the market with the most reliable products and solutions delivered by extremely competent channel partners."

Also, the company reported the creation of the Trapeze Medical Customer Advisory Council. The council currently includes members from North America and Europe and has already convened for a customer summit at Trapeze Networks' headquarters in California. The charter of the council is to ensure that Trapeze Networks is hearing, in detail and at length, the evolving requirements of the healthcare market.

Trapeze Networks says it is the first company to introduce NonStop Wireless Networking that delivers unmatched reliability to the enterprise wireless LAN and its solutions are optimized for companies requiring mobility and high bandwidth such as healthcare, education and hospitality.
