vWLAN™ Innovation & Customer Benefits

Centralized Control and Fully Distributed Architecture

Highly Scalable Solution– Data plane scalability only limited by AP backplane

capacity (i.e. 200Mbps*1500 APs = 300Gbps)

Simple to Deploy– Real-time centralized control software that runs on an

appliance and scales by adding AP licenses not more hardware.

• Less number of WLAN devices to manage and support• Flexibility in how and where the controller is deployed (i.e. VMWare)• Lower Total Cost of Ownership

vWLAN™ Innovation & Customer Benefits

Robust Security– Bluesocket’s has a long history of providing advanced

security, universal authentication, guest access, W-IDS, and endpoint compliance.

• Policy enforcement at the edge rather than centralized controller– Security is an Out-of-Band NAC to provide both

security and scalability

Wired equivalent Performance– Tighter integration into the wired network enables

scalable, latency optimized performance for time sensitive applications.

Remote Sites TLS Control Tunnel connecting BSAP to vWLAN. After Authentication, user can access all local, corporate and internet services.

Enabled Remote Office AP solution•Remote office is a WAN link away from vWLAN•All data traffic is left local to the subnet•Authentication traffic is sent back to the vWLAN•AP redirects web traffic to vWLAN captive portal

Standby SSID feature•If the remote link is lost, the SSIDs switch from 802.1x/Open to WPA-PSK, to allow continued local service
