    "Cisco Healthcare Germany decided to engage in a strategic partnership
with Ekahau because of their advanced technology and the cost-effective

an important precondition for our cooperation," says Axel Barthel, Account
Manager Healthcare with Cisco Healthcare Germany. The cooperation between
Ekahau and Cisco Healthcare Germany provides the following benefits to the
customers:

the Medica conference in Duesseldorf in November.

says Dirk Lenz, Ekahau's Regional Manager of Central and Eastern Europe. "We
