I Need To Replace Wires With Wireless
With the high speeds of 802.11n, wireless is as fast as wired networks. In fact, its raw performance exceeds Fast Ethernet. Users quickly adjust to the freedom of not having to plug in. Many new client devices no longer include Ethernet at all. These features combined, it isn't hard to see why wireless is often treated as the primary network access method – not just when mobility or portability are needed, but for routine desktop work.
Replacing Ethernet demands more than just raw speed, of course. A network needs simple management and design. It needs to scale to any requirement, be it density or bandwidth, and applications that leverage the power and flexibility of mobility. And it needs the physical security that wired users take for granted. Meru provides all of these in its 802.11n products, along with the flexibility of virtualization.
Though there's no reason to scrap existing wired networks, Meru customers are already designing new clinics, classrooms and even office buildings without data cabling to every desktop. Ethernet will always have a purpose, but now it is retreating into the network core.
The Meru LAN system lets you:
| Simplify Meru brings the simplicity of virtualization to the edge network. Users gain the freedom of mobility. IT gains the flexibility to reallocate capacity on demand. Applications get Ethernet-grade performance. |
|
| Scale The virtualized wireless LAN is easier to scale than either wired Ethernet or legacy 802.11 systems. It can handle any application or load, with full speed 802.11n in either band. |
|
| Secure Wireless networks already lead in encryption and access control. Meru can give also them the physical security that wired Ethernet users take for granted. |
|
| Save The Virtual Port reduces costs compared to traditional wired or wireless networks, simplifying network design and maintenance while enabling granular client management. |
