Almere, June 18, 2007 - Hopling Technologies, a rapidly growing leader in IP-based wireless networking equipment for enterprises, operators and service providers, today announced that it has opened its first Hopling Education Center (HEC) in Madrid, Spain.

The Hopling Technologies Training Services program, executed by the Hopling Education Center, provides partners, (new) customers, and clients of other wireless suppliers with the best theoretical wireless training, professional mesh network workshops and hands-on experience available on the market today.

Hopling Technologies’ Partners, who have followed the Training Services program, specialize in delivering high-end wireless mesh network solutions and integrated deployments, including the recently announced Hopling Metro Topology, for their customers. Partners who have completed the Training Services program are members of Hopling Technologies’ fast-growing premier commercial and delivery channel, which makes it easier for them to expand their scope of services and market potential.

The Hopling Technologies Training Services program will be concluded with an exam. Passing this exam successfully, the customer receives the HopWARE Certified Engineer (HCE) certificate.

“Hopling Technologies mesh network solutions are quite widely deployed. This results in a strong customer demand for highly trained HopWARE Certified Engineers who not only advice, but design and implement using the best practices known,” said Ivo van Ling, Chief Technology Officer of Hopling Technologies.
