London – October 24, 2005 – Bluesocket, Inc., (www.bluesocket.com) the leader in open wireless security and management solutions, today announced a record growth quarter in Q3 2005, achieving 23 percent increase in revenue over the previous quarter and nearly doubling over the previous year.
“We continue on our strong growth path with another ground breaking quarter,” said Ralph Calistri, CEO of Bluesocket. “Corporate winning is a team sport and this quarter showed how a team can build momentum in the market with our complete wireless LAN solution available and shipping.
