Unlike the centralized hub and spoke approach, the WiNG 5 Wireless LAN provides 11n the ideal architecture for optimal performance. That's because our third-generation infrastructure automatically adapts to meet your end-users' need for connectivity, quality and security. Traffic no longer has to make the unnecessary journey to a central controller, which means you can virtually cut in half the additional load 802.11n places on your network. The marked difference is in your experience: great application performance, trusted connectivity even at peak times and solid security.
CAPACITY AND SPEED
WiNG 5 WLANOur network-aware access points collaborate to determine the optimal routing paths to take to avoid bottlenecks, jittery videos, or poor voice quality, while never sacrificing network security or mobility services.
Hub and Spoke WLANRouting all traffic, QoS and security through the wireless controller burdens your wired network and limits the performance of your wireless network, especially during peak usage periods.
APPLICATION PERFORMANCE
WiNG 5 WLANShorter direct network paths with full QoS prioritization mean lower latency for demanding applications like VoIP.
Hub and Spoke WLANLatency sensitive and bandwidth-hungry multimedia applications may experience jitter and poor quality, especially at peak usage periods.
RESILIENCE
WiNG 5 WLANWith collaborative direct routing and QoS, security and mobility services delivered at the access point level, the network keeps users up and running throughout most wireless controller or wired network problems.
Hub and Spoke WLANThe network depends on a single path for routing and control, which creates single points of failure. Maintaining the quality during extreme conditions when users are competing for network resources remains a challenge.
