Voalté Announces Strategic Partnership with Meru Networks

Voalté, a leading developer of innovative point-of-care communications software on the Apple iPhone and other smartphone platforms, today announced its strategic partnership with Meru Networks Inc., (NASDAQ: MERU), the leader in virtualized and optimized 802.11n enterprise wireless networking.

Voalté's state-of-the-art application enables users to send and receive presence-based text messages, make high definition voice calls across the hospital VoIP or PBX systems, and receive critical care alarms on the iPhone, providing faster response to patient needs. Voalté's voice processing module is specifically designed to embrace the significant challenges inherent in a hospital Wi-Fi environment. Coupled with Meru's revolutionary Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) technology, Voalté provides a reliable, scalable communications solution that meets the heavy demands of VoIP in the clinical environment.

"Our channel layering and Virtual CellTM architecture pools radio resources into a predictable and reliable layer of coverage, so we avoid the artificial boundaries that microcell-based wireless LAN (WLAN) systems impose," said Sarosh Vesuna, vice president of business development for Meru Networks. "Meru's virtualized WLAN solution is especially beneficial to nurses and clinicians who must roam throughout the hospital during their shifts."
