10 September 2005

Meru Networks, the global leader in wireless VoIP infrastructure, today announced that it has been named to the 2005 "pulver 100," the VoIP industry's premiere listing of privately-held growth companies that represent the future of the communications ecosystem. Meru has been named to the list for the second consecutive year due to its continuing innovation in delivering solutions that are purpose-built for wireless VoIP and its increasing traction with enterprise customers around the world.

Meru's Wireless LAN System features the company's unique Air Traffic Control technology which helps businesses enable true VoIP mobility. The Meru WLAN System is the only solution purpose-built to carry heavy voice and data traffic with reliability and optimum quality; this is a key reason why Meru has been selected as the foundation for a number of landmark wireless networks including the recently announced Osaka Gas deployment in which Meru will deliver its WLAN System for what is currently the world's largest fixed mobile
convergence deployment.

"Meru Networks exemplifies the kind of innovation required to help make wireless VoIP a success in the enterprise," said Jeff Pulver, CEO of pulver.com. "The company's continued efforts and success in this arena make us proud to name Meru Networks to the pulver 100 for a second, consecutive year."

"We are pleased to be named to the pulver 100 again," said Ihab Abu-Hakima, president and CEO of Meru Networks. "The continued recognition from credible industry experts like pulvermedia, along with our strong customer and partner traction, validates our innovative approach to delivering wireless VoIP solutions."

Mr. Abu-Hakima will be speaking at the pulvermedia-sponsored Fall 2005 VON Enterprise Forum at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, MA, September 19-22, 2005. His Birds of a Feather Session on Voice and Wireless will take place on Thursday, September 22nd from 11:30am-12:30pm.

About the Pulver 100
Originally introduced in 2002, the pulver 100 features private companies in the communications sector that have substantial real-world deployments and enjoy significant growth rates. The value chain characterized by pulver 100 differs from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century, focusing more on a networking-industry model that espouses open interfaces, connectivity decoupled from services, and software decoupled from hardware.
