Agito Networks Customer Selected to Present on Enterprise Mobility at Leading Analyst Firm's Mobility Summit

Hertford Regional College to Present on Improving Indoor Coverage and Extending Mobile Unified Communications Capabilities to Mobile Workers

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 12 -- Agito Networks, Inc.(TM), the company delivering innovative solutions in enterprise mobility, today announced that customer Hertford Regional College (HRC) has been selected to present at the Gartner Wireless, Networking & Communications Summit being held in San Diego from April 19 - 21.

Dr. Daniel Hidlebaugh, HRC Director of Network Services, will present an end-user case study session on improving indoor coverage and extending mobile Unified Communications to mobile workers at 5:30 pm on April 19.  Selection of the speakers for the event was determined by Gartner analysts.

Since the early 1990s when it formed, HRC has grown in size, currently employing 900 staff and serving more than 12,000 full- and part-time students. After completing a $140 million construction project to update its facilities, including a 4-story building that covers half of a city block, HRC learned the new building materials do not allow cellular coverage indoors.  Since mobile phone accessibility is critical to the college's staff, HRC turned to Agito's RoamAnywhere(TM) Mobility Router(TM) to not only provide indoor mobile coverage, but also cut the college's telecommunications expenses in half by moving calls off cellular and onto the college's free WiFi network.

"Now we can't do without our Agito system, after one day it became a must have," Hidlebaugh said.  "Coverage was a concern before, but now we can reach each other at all times.  This is exactly what we were looking for, and accessibility is huge for us.  Organizations depend on their infrastructure to deliver for them, and with Agito everyone can be reached quickly.  Everyone is benefiting from this, and we no longer have to spend over an hour trying to find someone."

Agito Networks' RoamAnywhere Mobility Router extends UC, PBX and deskphone features to mobile phones, while providing industry-leading handover between WiFi, 3G and cellular networks.  RoamAnywhere uniquely delivers a mobile UC product with high availability, redundancy, security, enterprise scalability, and the industry's broadest IP-PBX and mobile handset support, including VoIP support for the Apple® iPhone®, iPod touch®, iPad and Research In Motion (RIM®) BlackBerry® smartphones.  RoamAnywhere works with all cellular networks, and natively integrates with enterprises' existing equipment, including WLAN infrastructure and directory stores.

Gartner has expanded the Gartner Wireless, Networking & Communications Summit to cover all aspects of communication, including fixed and mobile, voice and data, WAN and LAN, and unified communications and collaboration.  At the Gartner Wireless, Networking & Communications Summit, attendees can vet and refine strategy, hear the latest research, learn the new best practices, and leave with a roadmap for implementing the mobility and network integration needed to improve ROI, deliver more business value, and quantify that contribution.  This year will showcase new expanded coverage of networking, an emphasis on managing the mobile workforce, a supplemental track focused on best practices, more interaction with analysts and more networking opportunities, hands-on workshops, more than a dozen analyst/user roundtable discussions on key topics, end user case studies, plus a show floor filled with leading vendors unveiling their latest products and services.  For more information, see:
