When thinking strategically about business and getting serious about harnessing the power of mobility, then no ordinary wireless LAN will do.

The days of providing just casual web or email access to a few employees are over. With applications like wireless VoIP deployed alongside high density data usage, the network requires mobile SCALE or Secure Converged Applications for Leading Enterprises. Meru Network’s Mobile SCALE is built upon the following foundation elements: industry standards compliance; patented Air Traffic Control technology (recognized by Gartner as the visionary industry solution); Air Shield Security; and solution assurance partnerships with other leading application and technology providers.

Meru’s Mobile SCALE approach assures the delivery of mobile applications, without the limits of a second or third generation WLAN solution. The industry’s only fourth generation solution includes the following components:

• Meru Controllers for an intelligent foundation for converged voice, video, and data Wireless LANs
• Meru  System Director operating system software for assured delivery of mobile applications
• Meru  System Director software modules for innovative security, performance, and deployment capabilities
• Meru Access Points for high performance access to converged applications without added complexity
• Meru EZ RF Application Suite providing comprehensive system and location management

Meru’s Mobile SCALE solution provides a vitally-different approach from legacy solutions including controller or switch-based networks of thin APs that are designed for providing mobility at the edge of the network. Meru’s ability to assure mobile application delivery enables the All-Wireless Enterprise, making it possible for users to experience the same access and service levels as wired users, with the added benefit of mobility.

Meru’s Mobile SCALE solution delivers the following benefits to leading enterprises:
