SAN JOSE, Calif., April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks,
Inc. (NASDAQ: EXTR), a leader in high performance networking, today
announced that it has been honored with two Manufacturing
Leadership 100 (ML100) Awards in the sustainability and innovative
process categories. The winning initiatives include Extreme
Networks' robotic Wi-Fi antenna testing process and sustainable
packaging initiative. The recognition demonstrates Extreme
Networks' commitment to delivering differentiated products and
solutions to enterprise customers that reflect high value and
quality, as well as sustainability and efficiency.
"We are honored to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan's
Manufacturing Leadership Council for our commitment to innovative
and sustainable practices," said Brad
Martin, vice president and chief quality officer at Extreme
Networks. "We strive to manufacture best-in-class, high-performance
network solutions that set the standard for a superior customer
experience. Receiving these awards validates our efforts and
success in supporting our customers."
Extreme Networks' robotic Wi-Fi antenna testing process tests
unique antenna and access point (AP) products in a simulated
stadium installation to evaluate their effectiveness quickly and
accurately, with emphasis on repeatability. The intent of the tests
is to provide side-by-side comparisons of antenna arrangements,
validating both the range and signal strength of the products.
The sustainable packaging project deployed by Extreme Networks
improves the carbon footprint for our customers while meeting
customer expectations. The eco-friendly packaging scheme uses fewer
and more sustainable materials, decreases transportation and
production costs while increasing warehouse space.
The ML100 awards ceremony will take place at the Manufacturing
Leadership Summit Awards Gala, taking place June 2-4 at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in
Carlsbad, CA.
