Almere, December 17, 2007 - Hopling Technologies, a rapidly growing leader in IP-based wireless networking equipment for enterprises, operators and service providers, today announced that it has signed a contract with Kazaroo Wireless for the delivery of mesh nodes and access controllers.

Designed for deployment flexibility and operational simplicity, the Hopling Technologies Xnet Viper nodes feature self-discovery, self-configuration, and self-optimization to maximize data rates and spectral efficiency as well as overall network capacity and reliability. Xnet Viper nodes use Hopling Technologies’ new line of omni-directional antennas, which provides higher and better performance in smaller dimensions.

Hopling Technologies wireless networks are based on a full mesh networking concept. Every Xnet Viper node employs an innovative method for routing IP packets. The nodes will pass the data packets via neighbor nodes to nodes with which they cannot communicate directly. Every Hopling Technologies mesh node will instantly accommodate changes in routing and create new routing alternatives whenever required by a disturbance in the network.

“The proven flexibility, quality, and performance of Hopling Technologies’ Xnet Viper nodes are ideal to meet the needs of municipalities,” said the spokesman of Kazaroo Wireless. “We tested a number of mesh products, and chose Hopling Technologies because of the high-performance, scalability, stability and economic value of their solution. We start with pilot metro networks in Mexico City and in Florence, Italy. The large-scale metro pilot in Florence will cover the business district, downtown and tourist areas. The metro networks will target nomadic Internet users, both business and leisure, and more cities will follow soon, due to the excellent cooperation with the crew of Hopling Technologies.”

“We are excited by the opportunity to work with Kazaroo Wireless to implement the metro networks in the two target countries,” said Bob Kok, Director of Metro Networks of Hopling Technologies. “No mesh network solution available today is as trouble-free, versatile, feature-rich, secure and affordable as the wireless mesh networks from Hopling Technologies and we are ready.”

“It all comes down to economics,” said Frank Koopman, Chief Executive Officer of Hopling Technologies. “The leading strategic role of Hopling Technologies in wireless mesh networks used for metro solutions in capacity, coverage and cost is unique.”
