Next-Generation Wireless LAN Case Study: How Cisco Upgraded Its WLAN Infrastructure

Category: IT Management, Networking and Communications

Tags: network infrastructure, infrastructure, network

Overview The challenge for Cisco IT was to continue providing a global wireless LAN that could serve as a primary access medium and deliver more bandwidth and coverage to more users, while satisfying the company's business requirements. The next-generation WLAN would also need to provide native support for wireless voice and video, with high levels of accessibility, availability, and security to reduce service-impacting incidents. The Cisco Next-Generation WLAN program, which began in May 2006, will evolve Cisco IT's existing indoor wireless network infrastructure into a more available, stable, and secure network. The next-generation WLAN is based on the Cisco Unified Wireless Network solution, which combines centralized Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers with Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP)-enabled access points, and distributed, autonomous access points based on Cisco IOS Software.
