Almere, January 15, 2008 - Hopling Technologies, a leader in IP-based wireless networking equipment for enterprises, operators and service providers, today announced its fifth generation mesh network software and major hardware innovations across its Xclient, Xnet and Xfire product portfolio, including the launch of fully wirelessly manageable CPE’s available in several frequency bands.

HopWARE v3.2 provides Service Providers’ flexibility, security, visibility, and control over subscribers' wireless environments. Designed for citywide distribution of standard wireless infrastructure, HopWARE’s carrier-class managed wireless solution supports multiple base-, node- and client-stations and remote management capabilities. The Managed Wireless solution relies on wireless standards and automatically adapts to changing RF characteristics at installation site using quality of service technologies.

With the introduction of the sophisticated HopWARE v3.2 software Service Providers can remotely identify and diagnose wireless related problems as consumers experience them. This is a quantum leap forward in the manageability of wireless networks.

HopWARE is the only wireless network solution on the market today to deliver all the value of extended range, increased capacity and predictable performance using standard wireless, combined with a full suite of carrier management capabilities.

Hopling Technologies’ wireless networks enhanced with the HopWARE Mesh Architecture (HMA) are based on a full mesh networking concept. Every base-, node- and client-station employs an innovative method for routing IP packets between stations. It allows these stations to pass these packets via their neighbors to stations with which they cannot directly communicate, thus forming a seamless wireless network.

HopWARE v3.2 delivers:

• More efficient and effective wireless infrastructure Manageability

• Reduction in the TCO of 30%+

• Positive ROI within 6-12 months

• Improved Productivity

• Intuitive Visibility

• Deployment of Next Generation Applications

• Regulatory Compliance

“As we look to expand our offerings in the marketplace, it will be critical for service providers to manage the network and deliver the best quality service inside the home,” said Ivo van Ling, Chief Technology Officer of Hopling Technologies. “Being able to remotely see and diagnose problems in real-time has become an essential element to the success of service providers.”

HopWARE’s manageability and graphical presentation of the wireless network solution is handled by the Hopling Discovery Protocol (HDP), a means for HDP-based products to exchange information, thus enabling a device to configure itself for optimal communication with a neighboring HDP-based product. As an additional benefit, it allows support staff and NOC engineers to have instant insight of the wireless network – of the actual real-time situation (which is not necessarily the network as its designer intended), as well as obtaining information about the availability and performance of a device.

“This is the most amazing version of HopWARE ever,” said Frank Koopman, Chief Executive Officer of Hopling Technologies. “We designed HopWARE v3.2 for service providers realizing the next generation of wireless network solutions, for a whole new wave of innovation in wireless ecosystems that offers better manageability, faster connectivity and communications. Today’s launch of HopWARE v3.2, the Managed Wireless release will have a dramatic impact on wireless mobility long-term.”

HopWARE v3.2 will be available as of February 1, 2008. Customers, with a maintenance contract, can login to the Hopling Online Management Environment (HOME) update servers and receive the new software release from Hopling Technologies at no additional cost.

The new range of CPE’s including the Xclient Mamba SLC will be available in February 2008 from Hopling Technologies’ manufacturing plant and warehouse in Almere, the Netherlands.
