Aruba Networks’ new Benchmark-Setting 80Gbps multi-service Mobility Controllers AND 802.11n Access points enable unified MOBILe Networks

Aruba Networks has introduced a new generation of ultra high-performance Multi-Service Mobility Controllers and 802.11n Access Points, making it possible to converge 802.11n wireless LANs, firewall-enforced user access control, cellular-to-Wi-Fi integration, and secure remote access into a single unified mobile network.

The new products, which are being highlighted in nationwide rollouts held in conjuction with distribution partners, are set to offer the speed of a wired network, the low total cost of ownership and adaptability of a wireless network, and the security and centralized management.

“Our new products make it possible to deliver unified mobile applications that conventional wired and wireless networks simply cannot tackle due to architectural, integration, security, or performance limitations,” said Keerti Melkote, Aruba’s co-founder and head of products and partnerships.

“These applications include, among others, high security all-wireless workplaces with no cabling, call management between Wi-Fi and cellular networks, and securely extending the enterprise network to remote users without VPNs or managed clients. Unified mobile networks will support more applications, need less hardware, and have lower life-cycle costs than legacy port-based solutions, offering a lower cost solution today and a platform on which applications can be built in the future.”
