Total Economic Impact™ Of Meru Networks' Virtualized Wireless LAN Solution
Forrester Consulting examines the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) that enterprise customers may realize by deploying Meru Networks' "Virtual Cell" wireless LAN solution. Forrester found an anticipated ROI of between 43% (risk-adjusted) and 35% (non-risk-adjusted) for the large healthcare network studied.Beyond Wireless: Meru Networks End-Users Score at the Highest Satisfaction Level
Aberdeen Group, a respected market research firm, found that Meru customers report the highest level of end-user satisfaction ratings based on the results of the firm's Analyst Insight Report. The results are a testament to Meru's long-standing dedication to customer value by providing the most innovative, high performance enterprise wireless networking solutions.Enterprise 802.11n Wireless LAN Access Point Performance Benchmark
Novarum compares 802.11n performance of Cisco, Aruba Networks and Meru Networks. Tests include data throughput of 1, 5 & 10 clients in both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands, as well as fairness performance when legacy a/g clients are mixed in, as well as performance in converged traffic with voice and data. Power consumption was also measured.802.11n in the Enterprise
ABI Research took a very close look at 802.11n products from various WLAN vendors and rated vendors on a number of different criteria. Criteria included strength of a vendor's channel partners, reach of early adopters, number of real deployments, and whether the product features, product variants, single and dual radio versions, and cost resulted in a value proposition. ABI Research evaluated vendors on their degree of innovation, creativity in handling voice and video, migration strategy from b/g, as well as planning and management tools.A Total Cost of Ownership Analysis of the Meru Networks Virtual Cell Wireless LAN Architecture
Network Strategy Partners, LLC, compares the Total Cost of Ownership of a Meru Virtual Cell network versus tradition Micro Cell architectures. In this analysis the report compare the Meru equipment to Micro Cell equipment from a leading networking vendor. The sources of the cost savings showed that Meru's network design required 29% fewer access points than the Micro Cell design. In addition, the Virtual Cell network does not require extensive site survey and RF engineering, therefore, engineering and installation costs for the wireless network are significantly reduced.Enterprise Wireless LAN Scale Testing
Novarum compares Cisco, Aruba and Meru in real life converged testing at a 20,000 square foot facility with 72 laptops and 50 Ascom WiFi phones in a 802.11g network. This report explores what happens when all these systems are pushed to their limits. It answers the question of how much data capacity the systems deliver, how many voice calls are possible, and how the systems react with a mix of voice and data.The All-Wireless Enterprise: Feasibility and Performance Evaluation
Farpoint evaluates the feasibility of enterprise all-wireless edge at a real 20,000 square foot facility, with 73 wireless laptops and 50 Ascom WiFi phones, running mixed traffic. The results were surprising in a number of ways, but do indeed indicate that the all-wireless enterprise is both a feasible and viable strategy that we believe is going to become very popular over the next few years.Measuring the Real Value of Wireless LAN Deployments
Aberdeen's research shows that 95% of enterprises surveyed have deployed a wireless network in their organization. Best-in-Class organizations are leveraging their wireless network to both improve the productivity of their workforces all the while simplifying the implementation and decreasing the ongoing management costs of their networks. The findings are drawn from a survey of more than 315 organizations.
