New York, NY, February 7, 2008 - Extricom, the premier provider of enterprise-class wireless LAN infrastructure systems for converged voice (VoWLAN), data, video, and RFID services, today announced the appointment of Honoré Labourdette as vice president of sales for North America.

"Organizations are rapidly entering the next era of WLAN deployments, in which Wi-Fi is no longer for just casual hotspot use, but instead supports strategic operational objectives and provides wireless connectivity everywhere, for all applications, and for all users," said Dan Kirtchuk, Extricom's executive vice-president of global sales. "Honoré is a critical addition to our leadership team and has the experience and expertise to build the type of world-class go-to-market organization needed to meet customers' ever-increasing demand for Extricom solutions."

Ms. Labourdette brings over 20 years of successful sales leadership experience in the telecommunications industry. Ms. Labourdette previously served as vice president of 3Com's Worldwide Strategic Alliance Sales where she was instrumental in building 3Com's global system integrator and service provider sales channels. Prior to that role, Ms. Labourdette was VP of Sales at NetSolve (now a division at Cisco), and held leadership positions at Nortel Networks, Network Equipment Technologies, Micom Systems, and AT&T.

"Businesses of all sizes want to unleash the benefits of total mobility in their operations, but to do that they must overcome a number of limitations that exist in traditional Wi-Fi networks," said Labourdette. "Extricom's innovative and proven solution provides exactly the breakthrough they have been seeking. I am excited to be part of this company's explosive growth and to offer enterprises and our partners a truly game-changing technology."

Extricom's patented and award-winning Interference-Free™ WLAN System is the next generation of enterprise Wi-Fi, with a fundamental shift in architecture from "cell-planning" to Channel Blanket™ topology. This innovative technology eliminates the co-channel interference that plagues traditional WLAN systems, to deliver seamless and zero-latency mobility, robust, "wire-like" client connections, greatly increased capacity, and guaranteed and predictable levels of service for all users. All this, without the iterative and costly RF cell-planning of traditional solutions. The result is a high-performance yet simple solution for powering the enterprise quadruple play of data, voice, video, and RFID.
