Product Description
The Meru Wireless LAN solution features three major components: Meru Access Point, Meru Controller, and the Meru System Director. All three components feature the patent-pending Air Traffic Control Technology, which addresses the critical elements for deploying enterprise-class wireless LANs. Meru Wireless LANs centralize security and management and distribute air intelligence to achieve a wireless network with unprecedented reliability, security, quality of service and scalability. The Meru solution creates a wireless network that allows enterprises to leverage their existing investment in wired infrastructure.
Market Opportunity
The use of wireless LANs will continue to grow in the enterprise through 2006, with voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) a particularly promising area of growth, as use skyrockets from 6% currently to 27% by August 2006 (Infonetics Research). Although e-mail and Web browsing continue to be the most popular WLAN applications, Infonetics reports that enterprises are showing interest in more complex applications.
