Bangalore: Aruba Networks, a provider of wireless LANs and secure mobility solutions, has registered an increase in its revenues from $42.6 million in 2008 to $45.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

GAAP results for the fiscal third quarter of 2009 included $5.5 million of non-cash stock based expenses and $1.2 million of amortization expense of acquired intangible assets.

We enter our fourth fiscal quarter with improved visibility from the prior quarter and $111.8 million of cash and short term investments, with no debt," said Steffan Tomlinson, Aruba's Chief Financial Officer.
