Ideal for Difficult Environments
With warehouses, factories and outdoor areas difficult to wire, manufacturing has long been a user of wireless LAN technology. But all too often, wireless systems pose their own problems thanks to metal obstacles and electromagnetic interference that make industrial sites a harsh radio environment. The microcell architecture used by traditional wireless LANs exacerbates the problem, with complex channel planning needed to deal with the network's own interference as well as that from external sources. Meru is different.
Designed for the All-Wireless Enterprise
From the beginning, Meru designed its network for the All-Wireless Enterprise: an organization that never needs to depend on wires for connectivity. For a manufacturing, supply chain or distribution organization, this can be a game-changer in terms of business agility and operational efficiency.
Meru's virtualized Wireless LAN architecture avoids channel planning and gives every user on the network a strong, contention-free signal through a dedicated Virtual Port. The system is cost-effective, easy to set up and adaptable to any application. Whether needed for telemetry, telephony, location-tracking or security, Meru delivers an Ethernet-like connection with cellular-like mobility.
- Wireless Like Wire. Meru's virtualized Wireless LAN offers all the performance that users expect from wired Ethernet combined with the mobility of cellular.
- Quality of Service. Data applications get all the bandwidth they need while toll-quality voice is assured.
- Business Agility. High-performance, proactive monitoring and solid reliability assure users that the network meets tight SLAs.
- Airtime Fairness. Each client in a packed warehouse gets the same experience as a single user connected to the entire wireless network.
- Strong Security and Simple Management. It is easy to control the diverse devices that students connect to a network, ensuring that legacy clients do not affect overall performance or compromise security.
