Earlier this year, Trapeze's technology was chosen for the UK's largest WiFi network at Cardiff University. One thousand three hundred access points are being deployed in 66 buildings over an area of 7.8 square kilometres to serve 30,000 students, 5000 staff and visitors.

Nortel has scored similar campus wide deals in Australia at Edith Cowan University (but prior to its OEM deal with Trapeze) and the University of Western Sydney (450 Trapeze OEM access points).

Nortel's relationship with Trapeze dates back to March 2005 and mirrors one between Alcatel and Trapeze's rival Aruba announced just a day earlier. Both were triggered by Cisco announcing plans to acquire a third player, Airespace whose gear Nortel was rebranding at the time. (Aruba appointed Zircon as its Australian dstributor in September 2005 and at the same time opened its own office in Australia ).

Trapeze Networks is well-capitalised, with strategic investments from several networking industry leaders including Juniper Networks, Motorola, and Nortel Networks. It was founded in March 2002.
