SUMMIT WM3000 SERIES WIRELESS LAN CONTROLLERS

Summit WM3000 series WLAN controllers enable enterprise customers to deploy a highly secure, robust and scalable wireless LAN solution. Easy to deploy and manage, the Summit WM3000 series controllers provide a converged platform to deliver multimedia applications (data, voice, and video), wireless networking, and value-added mobility services such as secure guest access and location service for multi-RF networks. The Summit WM3000 series controllers offer rich, enterprise-class functionality that includes seamless roaming across Layer 2/Layer 3 deployments, resilient failover capabilities, comprehensive security, toll-quality voice and other value-added services, such as location. The controller helps protect the wired and wireless network against attacks and unauthorized access at Layer 2 and Layer 3 with Stateful Inspection; ability to create identity and location-based policies provides granular control of network access.

With multi-controller clustering, the Summit WM3000 series controllers support multiple levels of redundancy and failover capabilities to ensure highly available networks; multi-platform license sharing enables deployment of cost-effective networks. Quality of Service (QoS) ensures superior performance for voice and video services. WMM Admission Control, including TSPEC and SIP Call Admission Control, ensure dedicated bandwidth for voice calls as well as better control over active voice calls for a variety of VoIP handsets. Layer 3 hyper-fast secure roaming combines with readiness for external fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) solutions, enabling seamless voice services with true mobility across the enterprise
