January 31, 2014 – Aruba Networks has been named a Panduit Technology Ecosystem Partner (TEP), which according to the parties, means interoperable, secure enclosures will be delivered to Aruba Wi-Fi access points to meet the unique needs and challenges of enterprise customers.

“We are very excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Aruba Networks to provide customers with a leading edge, secure wireless offering,” said Robert Dennelly, director of Enterprise Solutions, Panduit.

He continued to explain that Panduit PanZone wireless access point enclosures offer wireless access points that physically protect Aruba network systems from tampering, vandalism, and theft.

“This is crucial, particularly in the payment card industry where millions of customer records are stored and processed. Together, Aruba and Panduit are driven to serve our mutual customers and our channel partners with thought leading products that provide reliable enterprise-wide wireless coverage to mitigate these types of risks,” said Dennelly.

“The TEP Program yields better workflow and lower costs, benefits that accrue to both end users and channel partners alike,” added Michael Tennefoss, vice president of Strategic Partnerships, Aruba Networks. “The compatible mounting interface of PanZone Wireless Access Point Enclosures reduces on-site installation time and labour, while the robust enclosure construction keeps the wireless infrastructure out of harm’s way.”
