In 2006, Bluesocket saw steady, strong sales of its BlueSecure Controllers, while sales of its BlueSecure Access Points tripled over the previous year. In addition to signing on more than 110 new customers each quarter of 2006, Bluesocket penetrated new vertical markets such as hospitality and public access.

"However, more and more, we are finding that customers in the hospitality and public access sectors are deploying Bluesocket's award-winning security capabilities to further enhance their wireless communications. We are also seeing early traction in the financial services vertical due to our technology leadership in wireless security.
