Unprecedented Wireless Security
The Bluesocket vWLAN solution was designed from
the beginning with security in mind from both the
client side and network side of the system. The
Bluesocket APs control the data plane and include
a built-in stateful firewall that enforces security
policies at the edge to turn away malicious traffic
before it hits the LAN. In addition, with Wireless
Intrusion Detection System (W-IDS) as a standard
feature, comprehensive user authentication options,
support for multiple encryption protocols, combined
with role-based authentication, Bluesocket vWLAN
ensures a secure wireless environment.
Optimised Performance
With vWLAN, 802.11n system capacity is no longer
computed by the backplane capacity of the hardware-
based controller; rather, it’s determined by the aggregate
throughput of the APs. This is a revolutionary change
from traditional, centralised wireless LAN solutions.
The vWLAN distributed architecture enables a tenfold
increase in total capacity.
Because the packet forwarding functionality is
offloaded from the controller to the access point,
the controller is free to now manage thousands of
AP’s and tens of thousands of users.
Virtualising the Wireless Network
Simplified Scalability
vWLAN architecture was designed around a concept
of simplified scalability and flexibility. In the era of
wireless advancements including 802.11n, voice, and
larger wireless networks; maintainability and Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) are at the forefront of new
network designs. vWLAN removes the complexities
and limitations of dealing with controller capacity
by centralising the management and control func-
tions. Further advantages are gained with security
and mobility distributed at the edge of the network,
the logical placement in networks that are designed
for scalability and high availability. Adding addi-
tional access points to the vWLAN system is as easy
as installing an ADTRAN software license, which
extends coverage to thousands of APs without need-
ing to worry about controller capacity or adding
additional hardware.
ADTRAN’s next-generation vWLAN architecture brings all the benefits of virtualisation to the wireless network. vWLAN unifies
wireless and existing wired networks to produce a truly integrated and optimised networking solution. vWLAN enables customers
to dramatically reduce the cost of deploying and operating large-scale Wi-Fi networks while providing wired-equivalent
performance to wireless users, with seamless roaming and enterprise-class security and policy management.
