IWL INC.
MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA

IWL INC., founded in 1993 by Chris Wellens and Marshall Rose, specializes in technology consulting, network interoperability testing, and protocol compliance assessments. The company originated from the need to address poor SNMP implementations, resulting in the development of the SilverCreek test suite—an authoritative tool for evaluating various networking protocols such as SNMP, TCP, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, ICMP, SIP, and TLS. The company's innovative testing solutions include the Maxwell series that aids major technology firms like Verint Systems in network scenario simulations to optimize their software performance under real-world conditions. Through rigorous protocol conformance and interoperability tests, IWL ensures robustness and addresses vulnerabilities before products reach consumers. IWL also plays a cultural role through the HOTI Project, which documents the collaborative evolution of the Internet through a series of educational videos. Certified by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), IWL is committed to maintaining high standards in business practices. Located in Marco Island, Florida, IWL continues to serve as a leader in network testing, ensuring product reliability across various platforms and conditions. The company was originally affiliated with Interop but evolved into its brand identity, marked by simplicity and clarity in communications since 1993. With ongoing development in networking standards and client needs, IWL remains dedicated to delivering tailored solutions that enhance network security and functionality.
