Ekahau Joins HP ProCurve Alliance
Ekahau Inc announced today that it has become a member of the newly launched HP ProCurve Open Network Ecosystem (ProCurve ONE) alliance program. Ekahau will incorporate its RTLS (Real Time Location Systems) solution for enterprise location as an interoperable enterprise-class application available on the new HP ProCurve ONE Services zl Module, a blade for the HP ProCurve Switch 5400zl and 8200zl series.
As a member of HP ProCurve ONE, Ekahau provides HP ProCurve customers with its Ekahau Positioning Engine (EPE) software. While Ekahau's EPE already works over any existing Wi-Fi network, the newly integrated RTLS package will allow HP ProCurve customers to add Ekahau RTLS functionality as a plug-and-play application with the HP ProCurve ONE Services zl Module. The Ekahau RTLS offering is supported by the Ekahau Site Survey (ESS) software toolset, which enables a fast and methodical deployment of enterprise- or campus-wide RTLS systems without the need to install vendor specific or proprietary hardware or chokepoints, as well as a wide variety of tags designed to meet individual users' needs.
Ekahau RTLS for the HP ProCurve ONE Services zl Module will be available in the first half of 2009.
