28 • OCTOBER 2012 • WORLD FENCE NEWS Linear announces consolidation of Secure Wireless, Inc. continued from page 26 of RF standards throughout the world has allowed Secure Wireless to meet almost any country's specific emission and frequency requirements, said Duane Paulson, senior vice-president of product and market development for Linear. "The integration of Secure Wire- less strengthens Linear's RF develop- ment capabilities while giving us more flexibility to meet the demands of our commercial security and access con- trol customers," said Paulson. "Linear is already a leader in wireless security solutions, but this consolidation gives us more resources to pursue other seg- ments through innovation and product development." Secure Wireless customers will benefit from Linear's training and technical support teams, and will be unaffected by the consolidation, he noted. The Secure Wireless sales team will remain as the primary liaison for the product line. Technical and cus- tomer support functions, along with other business operations, will be com- bined at Linear's headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif. and at its manufactur- ing facility in Grand Rapids, Mich. "Our existing customers will im- mediately benefit from the world-class service and support Linear is known for," commented Chuck Stevens, gen- eral manager of Secure Wireless and vice-president of the new Linear Health strategic business unit. "We will continue to be a leader in wireless security and OEM develop- ment and look forward to continued growth aided by Linear's extensive dealer and support networks."
