US-based network security vendor Fortinet has signed a distribution agreement with Wavelink to expand its presence in the burgeoning secure enterprise wi-fi marketplace across Australia and New Zealand.
The agreement follows Fortinet’s acquisition of Meru Networks last year and the integration of Meru’s secure wi-fi technology into the Fortinet solution set.
Wavelink has been the sole distributor for Meru Networks in the region since 2009 and has built up an extensive knowledge of the Meru product range and market verticals.
Wavelink’s focus will be to deliver Fortinet’s secure enterprise wi-fi solutions to resellers across a range of industries including healthcare, education and retail, said the company in a statement.
Fortinet ANZ general manager for distribution Scott Cowen said: “With wi-fi fast becoming the preferred access method for network communications, enterprises are looking to secure their networks and applications within a single secure framework. Fortinet offers comprehensive secure access – wired or wireless – combined with the enterprise performance, control and scalability that are critical to today’s organisations.”
Ilan Rubin, Wavelink’s managing director, said: “With our extensive wireless experience, Wavelink will work with Fortinet’s existing resellers to expand the uptake of Fortinet’s wireless offering. We look forward to building on the strong foundations we have laid over the last seven years with Meru Networks and transferring this momentum and expertise into Fortinet’s existing team and channels”
Wavelink is an Australasian distributor of enterprise mobility and unified communications solutions, focused on combining a range of complementary global technology with local market expertise to distribute and support solution sets.
