Meru delivers a pervasive and reliable network that's flexible enough to handle any application. With it's virtualized Wireless LAN, each device gets its own dedicated Virtual Port equivalent to a switched Ethernet link. The Virtual Port guarantees bandwidth and privacy, and is easy to adjust to the exact requirements of different applications and devices. Retail customers are using Meru Networks for:

• PCI Compliance. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) mandates a minimum layer of protection and a set of best practices that anyone accepting credit and debit cards must follow. Meru goes further, offering physical security that prevents outsiders from even knowing the network exists. Attackers who still try to get in are blocked before they connect. And once legitimate users have connected, the Virtual Port gives each device its own personalized firewall for fine-grained access control. Meru also makes it easy to follow PCI best practices, with comprehensive auditing features and E(z)RF Network Management that offers network administrators a global view of multi-site networks from a single point.
• Asset Security. Meru's security leadership doesn't stop at the network. The wireless LAN also drives security applications, including asset-tracking and anti-theft technologies. Meru offers the industry's most accurate location technology, tracking either standard 802.11 devices or items with active RFID tags to within a few meters and accessible through standard Web service APIs. For anti-theft monitoring, Meru provides a reliable network that scales to the high densities needed to carry multiple video streams from IP surveillance cameras simultaneously.
• Mobile Sales. With mobile point-of-sale systems, transactions are no longer limited to fixed checkout lines. Stores can temporarily expand space allocated for checkout lines on the fly during busy periods. Retailers with outdoor displays or stock can sell products right from the parking lot or pavement, reducing both theft and indoor crowding. With real-time inventory updates and verification of customer credit cards no matter where a sale takes place, fraud is reduced and there is less chance that sales associates will run out of stock.
