Controllers
The controller is the core of Meru's virtualized Wireless LANs, tightly synchronizing access points to optimize the user experience by avoiding interference and governing all traffic on the network.
Supporting from five to thousands of access points, controllers can be centralized at an enterprise or distributed to datacenters and branch offices, with both chassis-based and appliance models available.
