HiPath Wireless Controller
and Convergence Software
The HiPath Wireless Controller is
a high-performance platform that manages
the HiPath Wireless enterprise solution,
making it easy to maintain or expand
the network. The Controller aggregates
and coordinates access points and
manages clients so the wireless LAN
appears to users as individual, centrally
managed IP subnets. A range of HiPath
Wireless Controllers is available:

The HiPath Wireless Convergence Software
resides on the Controller, and provides
an intuitive web-based interface that
makes it easy to manage the entire
wireless network. Virtualized user
segmentation allows unique quality
of service, security, and application
permissions to be centrally defined
and pushed throughout the enterprise
network. This not only simplifies
network management, but also makes
it easy to implement sophisticated
Open Mobility Solutions across the
wireless LAN.

HiPath Wireless Access Points
The HiPath Wireless family of Access
Points is enterprise-class 802.11a/b/g
capable, providing coverage anywhere
that wireless LAN (WLAN) service is
required. Unique Plug-and-Play technology
dramatically simplifies deployment
of the WLAN solution. All Access Points
in the WLAN are virtually interconnected
to the Controller, enabling centralized
management and seamless overlay into
any existing IP-based network infrastructure.
All of this leads to greater management
control and operational efficiency.
There are two indoor models available,
as well as the SCALANCE W access point
for rugged outdoor and industrial
environments.
