I am a Network Engineer
Meru's Virtualized Wireless LAN is particularly effective in solving the difficult problems resulting from complex application mixes found throughout higher education networks. Its high power, RF efficient access points are ideally suited to handle the challenging physical environments of college and universities. Meru technology is easy to deploy, easy to manage and easy to scale. Meru gives you:
- Virtualization. Meru abstracts RF complexities, simplifying both deployment and management. Adjacent access points form a smooth and seamless Virtual Cell of RF coverage, preserving RF spectrum for future expansion as the network grows.
- Control. Each device is managed through its own private Virtual Port, a network link that is equivalent to an Ethernet port but mobile. The properties of each Virtual Port are adjustable on demand, enabling granular control over each user's bandwidth, quality-of-service and application availability.
- Security. The network itself is application-aware, automatically detecting different traffic types through both deep packet inspection and flow signatures that can recognize even encrypted traffic. Network managers can throttle, monitor or block applications such peer-to-peer file sharing.
