HERNDON, VA--(Marketwire - August 3, 2009) - ePlus inc. (NASDAQ: [ PLUS ]) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, ePlus Technology inc., has achieved the renewal of its Advanced Wireless LAN Specialization from Cisco®. This specialization recognizes ePlus as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy, and support advanced Cisco Wireless LAN solutions.

"We're pleased to achieve this renewal, which demonstrates our continued commitment to help customers leverage the power of borderless networking to transform their business by enabling productive mobility through Cisco Wireless LAN technology," said Jerry McIntosh, vice president of advanced technology solutions for ePlus Technology.

"As a Cisco Advanced Wireless LAN Specialized Partner, ePlus' training investment ranks them among the industry's most-qualified in providing wireless LAN solutions," said Alex Thurber, senior director of wireless LAN for worldwide channels at Cisco.

The Cisco Advanced Wireless LAN Specialization is designed to help the company's channel partners deliver the wireless solutions their customers need to increase their productivity and responsiveness, extend applications beyond the wired network, and overcome obstacles encountered with traditional wired communications. Cisco Advanced Wireless LAN Specialized Partners are able to build solutions based on the entire suite of Cisco wireless LAN products, including Cisco access points, Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Management solutions, Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, Cisco wireless bridge solutions, Cisco wireless LAN client adapters, and Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 Series handsets.

The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides partners with the training required to build sales, technical, and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills, and then validates their skills through a third-party audit. Cisco resale partner certifications -- Select, Premier, Silver and Gold -- represent an increasing breadth of skills across key technologies and a partner's ability to deliver integrated networking solutions. Cisco resale partner specializations -- SMB, Express, Advanced, and Master -- reflect an increasing depth of sales, technical, and service expertise in particular technologies. Achieving Cisco Advanced Wireless LAN Specialization also provides ePlus access to comprehensive sales, technical, and lifecycle services training and support available from Cisco.

In addition to Cisco Master Specializations in Security and Unified Communications, ePlus holds Cisco Advanced Specializations in Routing and Switching, Data Center Storage Networking, Data Center Networking Infrastructure, and Wireless LAN as well as Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) designations in Cisco TelePresence, Video Surveillance, and Data Center Unified Computing.
