What is the Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software system?
Figure 2-2 Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software solution
The HiPath Wireless Controller appears to the existing network as if it were an access point,
but in fact one HiPath Wireless Controller controls many Wireless APs.
The HiPath Wireless Controller has built-in capabilities to recognize and manage the Wireless
APs. The HiPath Wireless Controller activates the Wireless APs, enables them to receive
wireless traffic from wireless devices, processes the data traffic from the Wireless APs and
forwards or routes that data traffic out to the network. This processing includes authenticating
requests and applying access policies.
Simplifying the Wireless APs makes them:
● cost-effective
● easy to manage
● easy to deploy
Putting control on an intelligent centralized HiPath Wireless Controller enables:
● centralized configuration, management, reporting, maintenance
● high security
● flexibility to suit enterprise
● scalable and resilient deployments with a few HiPath Wireless Controllers controlling
hundreds of Wireless APs
Here are some of the Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software system
advantages:
