System Director
The System Director operating system runs on all Meru controllers and access points, implementing its advanced
virtualized Wireless LAN technology. It provides the seamless roaming, quality of service and high availability,
and advance security that people have come to expect from a Meru network.
Modular, Expandable Architecture
As an OS, System Director is designed to run other applications that enhance its feature set to deal with the
specific requirements of every enterprise. Each application module is fully integrated with System Director, taking
advantage of its unique low-level control over the radio frequencies to enhance the user experience.

Voice Services Module
Save money and increase productivity with wireless VoIP. Call Admission Control, Application-Aware Load
Balancing and Location by Number combine with zero-latency handoff for the industry's leading 802.11 telephony
system. |

Enterprise Mesh Module
Install access points without wire, making the network even more flexible. Meru's Channel Layering means
high-performance, low-latency mesh. |

Redundancy Module
Enable one controller to act as backup for many, ensuring cost-effective continuity in case of controller or
backend network failure. |

Video Services Module
Meru's switch-like architecture guarantees reliable delivery of video packets by treating multicast as unicast,
not broadcast. Each client receives video at its own maximum data rate, so bandwidth is not wasted sending video to clients
that have not subscribed to it, and voice is prioritized to ensure that soundtracks remain synchronized with
pictures. |
