SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Meru
Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:MERU), today announced the availability
of the AP110 access point, a new low-cost wireless and wired access
solution for branch offices, telecommuters and mobile or traveling
individuals. The Meru AP110 enables simple, secure,
virtualized Wi-Fi access to corporate networks, applications and
resources and eliminates the need for costly VPN
infrastructure. The Meru AP110 reduces cost, provides broader
connectivity options and gives IT simple control of network access
and services for remote users.
"The Meru AP110 access point is ideal for enterprises with
remote users who need access to data, voice and video
applications," said Kamal Anand,
senior vice president of products for Meru. "The traditional
definition of the datacenter is changing. Users demand access
from a variety of devices, from a variety of locations—home
offices, remote offices, hotels and other locations. Meru is
dedicated to providing optimal connectivity and quality of service
for these users and the IT departments that support them."
Enterprise-class Wireless Access from Any Location
The Meru AP110 is a two-stream 802.11n wireless access point
designed for data, voice, and video applications in off-site
virtual office environments. The AP110 provides secure
wireless access to the corporate network with easy plug and play,
zero touch deployment capabilities. The AP110 is ideal for
providing in-room access to corporate network resource in hotel
rooms, private offices or remote locations making it possible for
workers to be productive remotely. A wired port provides secure
connectivity for a VoiP phone or other wired device.
The AP110 access point integrates seamlessly with Meru
controllers, the System Director wireless operating system, and
Meru management tools to enable enterprise-class wireless service.
Built-in TLS-VPN encryption allows the AP110 to securely "tunnel
back" to Meru System Director operating system in the corporate
datacenter. System Director recognizes the AP110 and controls it
just as it controls other access points on the internal wireless
network. The AP110 is high-performance and can support multiple
high-bandwidth applications simultaneously, maximizing productivity
for remote users. The AP110 can support up to 10 devices
simultaneously and is designed for minimal IT support, reducing
expensive IT overhead for remote offices.
