Ixia and VeriWave Customers:
We want to share the exciting news that Ixia has completed its acquisition of VeriWave, a move that continues Ixia's quest to provide our global customers with a total end-to-end converged testing solution. This strategic move fortifies and extends Ixia's wireless leadership - testing aspects of 3G/4G and WLAN networks such as smart wireless devices, wireless access infrastructure, the wireless core network, the IP core network, and the converged data center. With this addition Ixia becomes a unique company in the world by possessing four strong pillars of technology leadership - IP, Ethernet, LTE, and Wi-Fi - to provide end-to-end wireless testing capabilities.
The use of Wi-Fi is growing exponentially with the proliferation of new wireless devices such as smart phones and tablets. The increase of media-rich content, like video-based applications, is placing more strain on enterprise networks and demands new quality expectations.
LTE and Wi-Fi will form a potent technological combination for many years to come. Wireless operators are realizing that additional 4G bandwidth will not keep pace with the increasing requirements of the emerging media-rich devices and social media applications. Hence, Wi-Fi is a key offload technology to siphon traffic from the overloaded 3G and 4G networks. The synthesis of Wi-Fi and LTE will be an essential combination to deliver the necessary bandwidth required by the industry for emerging video-heavy, media-savvy applications.
The combination of Ixia and VeriWave technologies provides the tools needed to test from the wireless edge to the Internet core. VeriWave supports world class Wi-Fi and WLAN testing, while Ixia's leading solutions for 3G and 4G/LTE networks, wired networks, and data centers provide strong complementary testing options.
For the immediate future, continue to work with VeriWave in the manner you are accustomed. From the VeriWave web site you can still reach product information, customer support, and sales. We will update you as we progress with further integration.
We look forward to continually providing you with the most innovative and forward-thinking technology solutions. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact your sales representative.
