Historically, wireless has served as a network of convenience in the enterprise; but with the ability to support business-critical applications, like Electronic Health Records (EHR) over wireless, bedside patient registration, rich in-classroom learning and point of sale applications, it has the power to operate as the primary mode of connectivity and to become a network of necessity. To further drive this wireless transition, Meru's Wireless Service Assurance program is designed to enable wired-like reliability and a benchmark for transforming to an all-wireless enterprise by providing:

    * 99.99% WLAN availability to run business critical applications with less than an hour of unplanned downtime per year;
    * That enterprise WLAN capacity needs will be met, while reducing complexity with up to 30% percent fewer 802.11a/b/g or n access points than networks deployed with multi-channel microcell architecture; and
    * Real-time application service level assurance that promises voice services with quality equivalent to land-line service.

Based on over 2,700 customer deployments, Meru has battle tested its service-level claims and brings a new level of trust to WLAN customers. By leveraging the power of Meru's virtualized WLAN architecture, which pools wireless resources and presents a single network to the user, Meru's patented Air Traffic Control technology, and its Service Assurance Manager software, which Meru uses to maintain service levels, combined with its leadership in 802.11n, Meru can provide specific service level specifications and ongoing monitoring for capacity and management, 99.99% availability, and real-time application performance for wireless environments, affording the benefits of a wired-like network with the flexibility and mobility of wireless, to IT, businesses and end-users.
