Beijing Science Park Selects Trapeze Networks for Building Campus-Wide Wi-Fi
Network China's Leading High-Tech Business Incubator Depends on Trapeze Networks'
NonStop Wireless

PLEASANTON, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Trapeze Networks, a Belden Brand
(NYSE: BDC), today announced that Hi-Tech International Business Incubator
Co., Ltd. (HTIBI), the incubation center at the heart of Beijing's Science
Park, has deployed a campus-wide WLAN network based on Trapeze's Smart
Mobile(TM) architecture.  The new system alleviates the overburdened wired
network infrastructure as well as gives flexible access to network resources
for tenants.

HTIBI is China's leading incubation center with headquarters located at the
Zhongguancun-Jianxiang Science Park in Beijing.  The incubator has an
established network of affiliates across Europe, North America and Asia, and
gives assistance to more than 500 start-up companies across China.

Security: The Essential Element of the Solution
"It's an honor to be selected for the HTIBI.  Imagine the immense value of
intellectual property that is connected to the network and must be protected
from more than 500 other companies and we're able to effectively cover those
500 companies with only 33 access points and two controllers.  That's hugely
efficient," said David Kam, vice president of Trapeze Networks in Asia
Pacific. "Trapeze Network's solution is perfectly fitted into the HTIBI
environment."

"Tenants of the incubation park mainly consist of small enterprises.  They are
typically highly mobile.  HTIBI therefore is required to update their user's
network access and virtual LAN setting very frequently," said Zhang Tao,
general manager of HTIBI. "Trapeze's Smart Mobile WLAN can help us to set up
our tenants' access to the internet and network resources anytime and
anywhere.  From an operational point of view, it helps us achieve unified
management of the system and provides on-demand expansion when tenants
increase."

The WLAN project involves the deployment of more than 33 Trapeze Mobility
Points and three Mobility Controllers.  The users log into the WLAN network
through a web-based login page and users who login with incorrect usernames
and passwords are automatically blacklisted for enhanced security of HTIBI's
WLAN.

HTIBI also utilizes Trapeze Networks' WLAN management software RingMaster(TM)
to administer control and monitor their WLAN.  RingMaster software not only
provides detailed configuration information, but also helps administer and
monitor all equipment. It provides information on the controller's
performance, monitors the wireless user access, sets blacklists and alerts and
overrides any rogue APs setup on campus.

"Trapeze Smart Mobile addresses the main issue in the HTIBI network
infrastructure - extend network coverage in the campus where cabling work is
not possible. The deployment is easy to implement and cost effective. The
deployment of the wireless network also allows for operation of VLANs with
zero configuration installation, which greatly reduces the workload and
on-going maintenance. The completion of the wireless network optimizes network
resources and enhances the park's image as an ideal environment for technology
start-ups," said Zhang Tao.

Before deploying the campus wireless network, HTIBI investigated other systems
on the market but opted for Trapeze's Smart Mobile because of the distributed
switching architecture. Also, user credentials are distributed to mobility
points, enabling much more reliable roaming across controllers.
