HiPath Wireless Controller and Convergence Software



The HiPath Wireless Controller is a high-performance platform that manages the HiPath Wireless enterprise solution, making it easy to maintain or expand the network. The Controller aggregates and coordinates access points and manages clients so the wireless LAN appears to users as individual, centrally managed IP subnets. A range of HiPath Wireless Controllers is available:


The HiPath Wireless Convergence Software resides on the Controller, and provides an intuitive web-based interface that makes it easy to manage the entire wireless network. Virtualized user segmentation allows unique quality of service, security, and application permissions to be centrally defined and pushed throughout the enterprise network. This not only simplifies network management, but also makes it easy to implement sophisticated Open Mobility Solutions across the wireless LAN.
