Meru’ s Mobile SCALE Solution

With applications like wireless VoIP deployed alongside high density data, the network must provide mobile SCALE or
Secure Converged Applications for Leading Enterprises. Meru’s mobile SCALE architecture is recognized by Gartner as the industry visionary solution.

What makes up SCALE?

Secure

Meru provides security in multiple dimensions. Customers can be secure in the knowledge that the network is based on industry standards and certified compliant, by the Wi-fi Alliance. Meru also takes network and information security as seriously as customers, providing multiple layers of security with AirShield 2.0, with support for every major industry security standard, such as WPA2, 802.11i, 802.1x. and provides additional innovations like Air Firewall, that allow customers to not only detect rogue AP’s once they are connected, but also to stop rogue users from connecting at all.

Converged Applications

Data, voice, and video; all running together with large numbers of clients over the wireless infrastructure with wired-like quality.  Now these applications can finally catch up to the needs of the mobile workforce. With a wireless VoIP handset, there’s no longer a choice between being tethered to a desk or racking up big mobile phone bills. With smart phones and other intelligent handhelds, there is instant access to business applications anywhere, anytime.

Leading Enterprises

That’s what your team is all about. Going mobile with assured delivery of business-critical applications means staying one step ahead of the competition. Companies do not achieve success by making the same choices as everyone else. Meru’s Mobile SCALE Architecture is designed with leaders in mind.
