IE has 3 Cisco MESH certified engineers (Dennis Holmes, Jim Delre, David Crow) and leads the way in assisting Cisco in developing new and exciting solutions and products for both the indoor and outdoor wireless network services through extensive collaborations with Cisco's Wireless Business Unit.

"Our commitment to excellence in emerging technologies is underscored by this recognition," says Greg Rivers, President of IE. "We are proud to be the first company to achieve MESH ATP v2 certification for outdoor wireless and prouder still to help our clients realize the added capabilities and efficiency offered by this type of network. Dennis Holmes who heads our wireless business deserves recognition for his leadership in our growth in this area."

Dennis tells us how IE will bring the full package. "For many years Cisco customers in Eastern Tennessee have been without a serious partner that provides a complete set of competent services and support in all of the technologies that Cisco offers. There have been specialty boutique partners, some dealing in individual advanced technologies, others trying to provide all the advanced technologies without the necessary engineering support required to offer complete service to the customer. IE offers Eastern Tennessee a strong compliment of engineering, professional services, and account managers to fulfill the complete needs of today's internetworked organizations. With IE, a Cisco Gold Star for Customer Service Partner, Microsoft Gold Partner, and NetApp Gold Partner, among others, the customer gets the best engineering and services support available from an organization built around customer satisfaction."

2008 promises to be a phenomenal year for IE. We are ready for the challenge and are committed to our customers' IT needs.
