Cisco Systems

Cisco Mobility solutions help your employees conduct business anywhere, anytime, and with any device. They provide integral security and contextual capabilities designed for regulatory compliance and business process optimization.

Mobility solutions let your employees conduct business anywhere, anytime, from any device delivering three key capabilities to the organization: insight, collaboration, and awareness. The technology underpinning mobility spans the spectrum of network capabilities: wired and wireless IP networks, unified communications, and location tracking solutions, each of which has integral security capabilities to protect both the device and the enterprise network.

• Insight, insight is the ability for employees to make accurate information-based decisions, complete business processes no matter where they may be, and meet customer needs on a timely basis. It is more than access to e-mail and other collaboration tools; it is the key information imbued with the timeliness and context needed to meet revenue goals, improve customer satisfaction, and interact with partners.
• Collaboration, collaboration is more than simply trying to reach a colleague, partner, or customer by phone, e-mail, IM, or text message. Effective collaboration means reaching the person, not the device, quickly and simply in order to speed communication and decision making.
• Awareness, awareness enables visibility into the key assets and people that are needed to complete work processes and meet customer commitments. Connecting these valuable assets into the network clarifies their location and status, reduces search time and procurement costs, and improves customer and employee satisfaction.

Juniper Networks

Juniper Networks® wireless LAN (WLAN) solution provides secure, scalable connectivity for mobile users and every one of their Wi-Fi enabled devices. Combined with unprecedented reliability and unified management, Juniper provides the most dependable infrastructure for the mass deployment of mission critical mobility applications, including voice, video, telemetry, and location services.

With a comprehensive family of the most intelligent and advanced controllers, access points, and management tools, Juniper enables nonstop indoor and outdoor mobility for enterprises of all sizes, from small retail operations to the largest campuses. With Juniper’s WLAN solution, organizations can build end-to-end, high-performance wireless infrastructures that deliver a seamless, secure, and reliable mobility experience regardless of where, when, or how users access the network.

Juniper’s WLAN solution helps organizations rapidly plan, configure, and manage WLAN infrastructures and mobility services for even the most demanding users and applications in industries such as healthcare, education, manufacturing, and hospitality. The Juniper solution also incorporates embedded location awareness for any Wi-Fi device, a distinct advantage in industries such as healthcare, where quickly finding a doctor or a critical piece of medical equipment can save lives.

Meru Networks

Today's technology users demand mobility. With laptops replacing desktops and cell phones replacing landlines, people are used to devices that enable them to be productive anywhere. And increasingly, mobility is about more than just the ability to make a phone call from the elevator or run a desktop application on the road. Wireless devices is where network innovation is focused, leading to new uses for networks that just aren't possible with wires.

Innovation happens at all levels. At the software level, it means new applications like location-tracking and mapping. At the device level, it means connectivity from iPhones, Blackberries, RFID tags and other gadgets that simply can't exist in a wired world. And at the infrastructure level, it means Wireless LAN Virtualization, an architecture that brings to edge networks the same agility, ease-of-use and low total cost of ownership that virtualization brings to servers, storage and datacenter networks.

Meru controllers, access points and software operate in concert to create a virtualized Wireless LAN that intelligently monitors, manages, and directs network traffic. All wireless resources are seamlessly pooled into one Virtual Cell, then partitioned to match device and application requirements. Rather than a patchwork of individual access points, each client sees a single Virtual Port that travels with it throughout the network.

All Meru products feature Air Traffic Control technology that directs all network transmissions—upstream and downstream, and from standard 802.11 clients as well as Meru access points. The network has granular control over device behavior without the need for client-side software. Because each Virtual Cell requires only one radio channel, other channels are free for expansion, letting the network scale to the highest densities. Multiple lines of defense secure both the physical layer and virtual resources, providing real-time airspace scanning while serving real-time traffic.
