Network Chemistry and Wireless Valley Announce Alliance
Companies integrating products to offer platform independent solution for designing, managing and securing wireless networks
LAS VEGAS, NV - May 3, 2026 - Network Chemistry, Inc., The RF Security CompanyT, and Wireless Valley® Communications today announced they are integrating their industry leading software systems in order to provide customers with a more comprehensive solution for creating secure, reliable wireless LANs.
Wireless LANs (WLANs) are transitioning into the role of being the primary network within the enterprise and are increasingly relied upon to help enhance employee productivity and corporate performance. This transition is resulting in increased capacity demands and improved quality of service requirements from networks that are secure and free from attacks. Wireless Valley, an industry leading provider of software for the design and management of wireless networks, and Network Chemistry, an industry leading provider of software and hardware for securing and enhancing the performance of wireless networks, are integrating their products to assist IT managers in addressing these challenges.
Both companies have significant expertise and intellectual property around the analysis of radio frequency (RF) signals to identify security and performance issues. The combination of this RF expertise with Wireless Valley's simulation and network management technologies and Network Chemistry's intrusion protection and real-time network analysis capabilities creates a unique, feature-rich platform that can be used with a wide variety of WLAN equipment. The integrated solution exceeds the functionality provided by other management and equipment vendors especially when troubleshooting and resolving WLAN problems.
Gartner, Inc. recently commented on the importance of wireless security and management, "Enterprises that delay the deployment of WLAN security and network management platforms unnecessarily could be endangering their wired and wireless network health."
Because WLANs use RF to transmit data through the air, they are subject to interference, attenuation and reflections caused by the building materials, electronic devices and other factors in the environment. The Wireless Valley/Network Chemistry solution includes a sophisticated 2D/3D visualization application for planning and ongoing support that considers all these factors and recommends an optimal WLAN design. The simulation of network performance during the design phase results in a more efficient deployment process and improved post-deployment network performance by optimizing capacity, ensuring coverage levels and minimizing interference.

The models and configurations created in the design phase are imported into the management application and correlated with real-time network measurements generated by Network Chemistry RF sensors and available APs, providing customers with a visually rich platform for monitoring and managing RF activity and security issues, either locally or remotely. The management application compares planned network parameters and actual network activity, enabling IT managers to quickly:
- Detect and resolve deployment and configuration errors
- Identify and prevent potential security vulnerabilities
- Detect and locate rogue devices and specific wireless attackers
- Audit and report on compliances to security policies
- Visualize real-time coverage maps and identify coverage holes
- Discover and isolate the location of interference areas
- Simulate and evaluate bandwidth usage and capacity utilization.
"By bringing together the industry's best RF security and performance expertise, we are providing customers with unique products that not only alert users to network anomalies, but also recommend and implement network changes to resolve these issues," said Rob Markovich, CEO of Network Chemistry. "We believe this partnership with Wireless Valley provides our customers with the most comprehensive solution in the market today for ensuring secure and reliable wireless networks."
Jim Welch, Wireless Valley CEO and president commented, "The increased usage of WLANs and the deployment of applications such as VoIP and video have created the need for a robust planning and management solution that ensures quality of service and security. We are happy to be working with Network Chemistry to provide our customers with products that allow them to deploy cost-effective wireless networks that are secure, connected and optimized to meet increasing capacity and bandwidth requirements."
