Virtual Wireless LAN (vWLANTM)
The vWLANTM architecture leverages existing network infrastructures to produce a fully integrated and optimized wireless solution enabling customers to dramatically reduce the cost of deploying and operating large-scale Wi-Fi networks while significantly improving performance. vWLANTM delivers robust security using differentiated granular role-based policy enforcement and integrated network access control.
The solution is architected to support up to 1500 of Bluesocket's 802.11n access points on the current hardware platform. The platform scales based on software licensing, eliminating concerns about selecting the right hardware. AP licenses are available in bundles of 5, 15, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500.
vWLANTM architecture is a combination of Bluesocket's core strengths in WLAN infrastructure and its vision of next-generation WLAN systems. The 802.11n market demands more than can be offered from traditional WLAN systems and Bluesocket has responded with this highly innovative solution.
vWLAN Benefits:
Fully Distributed Mobility
vWLANTM's distributed mobility solution handles subnet roaming at the edge, while its sophisticated control software works at the core to determine the optimal tunneling endpoint and guarantees seamless mobility. The algorithm incorporates intelligent tunnel load balancing, a subnet discovery protocol, and even a mechanism to detect and accommodate for misconfigurations in the wired infrastructure to guarantee that wireless users can always access the network.
Flexible Deployments
vWLANTM provides a flexible solution that can operate in multiple deployments from a branch office to a large campus environment while offering low cost of ownership and optimal performance. Remote office deployments are demanding more from the WLAN networks and vWLANTM responded by integrating flexibility into the security and data forwarding modules.
vWLANTM integrates Bluesocket's WLAN management software to provides a rich set of visual tools for analyzing and troubleshooting the wireless network. The integrated management solution includes location and heat maps, health summary, enhanced reporting, notifications, and summary of the overall RF environment.
