SAN JOSE, Calif., July 11, 2005 - LGC Wireless, a market leader in in-building wireless networking solutions, announced today it secured $11 million in a late-stage mezzanine financing.

The round was led by Rembrandt Venture Partners, along with strong support from nearly all existing investors. LGC Wireless, which was established in 1996, has raised $91 million to date.

"LGC Wireless impressed us as a marvelous late-stage opportunity with all the key attributes we look for–leading technology in a large market opportunity, a proven track record of satisfying the needs of many of the world's largest wireless operators, a profitable business model and strong management team," said Richard Ling, general partner, Rembrandt Venture Partners.
