• High performance
• Scalable architecture
• Centralized WLAN switching
• Dynamic RF management
• Integrated wireless intrusion prevention
• User-centric security with
stateful firewall
• Platforms designed from the ground
up to support IEEE 802.11n high
performance networks.
• Supports pay as you grow capability
through software licensing model.
WLAN switch AP capacity can grow
by adding SW licenses.
• Allows for overlay deployments
without disruption to the existing
wireline infrastructure. Simplifies
management task by minimizing the
number of network elements.
• Provides analysis of the RF environment
to facilitate deployment with self
tuning access points and facilitates
operation of the network with virtual
real time site survey.
• Integrates both wireless networking
and wireless intrusion detection and
prevention thus reducing the cost of
wireless infrastructure and cost of
operating the wireless network.
• Prevents unauthenticated users
from accessing the corporate wire-
less network while safely support-
ing guest users, contractors as
well as corporate users. Decreases
management burden of security
through role-based security.
