Product Overview
The Enterasys Wireless solution optimizes distribution of the processing load between Access
Points (APs) and wireless controllers to deliver exceptional performance while remaining easy
to manage. Complex, time-sensitive functions such as QoS, encryption, policy enforcement,
rate limiting, and dynamic channel selection are handled by the AP, while global functions
like configuration, roaming, security management, and policy control are centralized at the
wireless controller or the Enterasys Network Management Suite (NMS) console. Furthermore, the
innovative Enterasys Wireless solutions-oriented architecture is able to determine how to forward
traffic for the highest performance and reliability for each application. The result is a flexible and
dependable WLAN infrastructure that can easily be leveraged to deploy VoWLAN and new high-
performance solutions such as HD video.
