We applaud the availability of Azimuth’s new MIMO testing solutions to accurately assess interoperation across vendors and products.”

“It is critical for us, particularly as we develop our next generation of Wi-Fi technology, to have a consistent platform on which to test, validate and certify our solutions to customers,” said Rick Bahr, vice president of engineering at Atheros Communications . “The automation tools, repeatability and accuracy of the Azimuth W-Series make it a viable long-term platform upon which Atheros can build its engineering, QA and benchmark testing – now and in the future.”

"Aruba's centralized approach to building, securing and managing wireless LANs requires that our products meet the highest standards for both security and performance," said Keerti Melkote, co-founder and vice president of marketing at Aruba Wireless Systems . "We chose the Azimuth test solution because it is the only product on the market today that provides an automated test environment designed to test wireless devices and networks for real world performance in a laboratory, while delivering scalable, repeatable results."

"As a manufacturer of carrier-grade wireless broadband products for both indoor and outdoor environments, it is essential to us that we have a cost-effective, efficient and - most importantly - credible way to offer our customers solid quality assurances," said Stephen Rayment, CTO of BelAir Networks . "The Azimuth system provides us with a repeatable testing roadmap which is already proven in the marketplace. Our customers are confident in our wide-area broadband solutions because they know that they have been deployed only after rigorous testing."

“IEEE 802.11n technology opens the door for interoperable products that have advanced Wi-Fi capabilities, such as the delivery of video over Wi-Fi,” said Bill Bunch, director of product management at Broadcom Corporation . “Equipment such as Azimuth’s MIMO Functional Test solution plays an important role in ensuring that our Intensi-fi™ products meet stringent performance and interoperability requirements.”

“Licensing our CCX technology to the leading Wi-Fi silicon and equipment manufacturers facilitates widespread adoption of products that offer enterprise-class security, mobility and ease-of-use,” said Alan S. Cohen, senior director of product management, Cisco Wireless Networking Business Unit . “We rely on testing partners like Azimuth to improve the certification process, enabling our CCX partners to get products to market more quickly.”

"Together, Azimuth and Empirix Systems can provide an unmatched test environment for assessment of the key capabilities of VoIP network infrastructure equipment intended for use in WLAN environments," said Chris Bajorek, director of CT Labs . "For the first time, thanks to the complementary capabilities of "best of breed" Azimuth Systems W-Series and Empirix Hammer test systems, equipment developers and their prospective customers have access to the test data and analysis required to compare options and guide purchasing decisions within this growing VoWLAN application area."

"We are seeing significant growth of Wi-Fi enabled devices ranging from games to phones to televisions, so we are establishing scalable test methodologies and tools to support interoperability in these new product categories," said Frank Hanzlik, managing director of the Wi-Fi Alliance . "The Azimuth ADEPT solution streamlines the test process for emerging product categories, and makes our certification program more flexible and scalable for the benefit of all members."

"The Azimuth Test Engine device development tools successfully accelerated our delivery of the TapRoot Wireless LAN Test Engine," said Glen Shelton, vice president of engineering at TapRoot Systems , a software company that provides embedded software and system integration services for the global smartphone marketplace. "As a result, we can now enable customers to automate their handset testing and to achieve the important 'Wi-Fi CERTIFIED' mark."

"As the leading provider of full-featured, affordable, broadband phone services across North America, we must be able to certify and validate that our VoIP solution, as well as the equipment we are deploying, meets our standards for availability and quality of voice service," said Louis Mamakos, CTO of Vonage Holdings Corp . "Azimuth's unmatched testing capabilities - particularly in the areas of Wi-Fi performance, multi-vendor interoperability, and industry standards conformance - help us support that our customers receive a high level of satisfaction from Vonage's Wi-Fi phone."

“Studio is a revolution in the wireless industry,” said Aaron Vance, senior analyst at Synergy Research Group . “The ‘wired world’ has had similar products for many years, but this is a first in the complex wireless environment, where so many unseen variables – RF, interference, range – can spell success or failure for a new product. Azimuth continues to raise the bar and provide breakthrough technologies for its customers.”

"To perform this type of testing in the past, companies have traditionally built custom shielded boxes or used sophisticated and expensive isolation rooms," said Jessy Cavazos, manager for the Communications Test & Measurement program at Frost & Sullivan . "The new Azimuth RadioProof enclosures simplify testing by providing isolation chambers for individual devices, creating a repeatable and cost effective standards-based testing solution."

“Azimuth is clearly positioned as the premier provider of test solutions for Wi-Fi devices and networks supporting data, voice and video applications,” said Jessy Cavazos, industry manager, Communications Test & Measurement at Frost & Sullivan . “Their solid technology and business foundation provides them with significant growth prospects in new wireless markets.”

"Movers & Shakers organizations and individuals are recognized for achieving milestones such as launching a breakthrough technology, executing a key strategic acquisition, or implementing a revolutionary vision for the future of their industries," said Sankara Jambulingam, research analyst for the Communications Test & Measurement program at Frost & Sullivan . "We chose to interview Mr. Cronin for the series due to Azimuth's unprecedented growth, and position as the premier provider of test solutions for wireless devices and networks supporting data, voice and video applications."

“We have a widely diverse set of wireless, 802.11 products – from routers to access points to clients – that we provide to our OEM customers,” said Mr. Ben Lin, CTO and senior vice president of SerComm. “With our high volume of sales and broad set of customers, it is imperative we provide tested, approved and validated products. Azimuth is the only vendor that has been able to meet our high standards, strict time-to-market requirements and breadth and depth of product platforms.”

"Performance testing is key for SpectraLink,” said John Elms, president and CEO of SpectraLink. “Azimuth’s ability to validate call capacity and roaming behavior will serve as a cornerstone of our VIEW Certification Program.”

"The Azimuth system provides us with precise, repeatable RF tests to ensure that our radio layer is performing as it should. It gives us the confidence in our RF implementation to go along with our system's ability to scale to the demands of large enterprise networks, as demonstrated in the recent large scale wireless test we conducted at the Iometrix lab this past December,” said Mike Tincher, director of customer service and software quality assurance at Trapeze.

"Automation is the key to successfully reducing time to market in the fast moving wireless industry, and this level of automation would be impossible in an uncontrolled RF environment,” said Keith Harrison, director of quality assurance at Proxim. “Azimuth delivers a repeatable test platform – with automation and mobility – all in one. We have completely integrated Azimuth’s W-Series into our advanced product verification suites.”

"We've been impressed with the capabilities of Azimuth's products for some time," said Craig Mathias, a Principal with the wireless advisory firm, Farpoint Group (Ashland, MA) .
