HP ProCurve Networking

1. Introduction

This document describes the interoperability of a ProCurve wireless services solution coupled with Polycom-

SpectraLink wireless telephones and SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) Server to provide a secure Voice over WLAN

(VoWLAN) solution with the following services:

• Secure wireless encryption with WPA/WPA2 (pre-shared key)

• Fast roaming

• Quality of Service on the wireless media, with SpectraLink Voice Protocol (SVP)
