Wi-Fi Array

Wi-Fi Array

In computer networking, a Wi-Fi Array is a device that allows up to 1,024 [http://www.tolly.com/ts/2007/Xirrus/WiFiLoadBalancing/TollyTS207181XirrusWiFiLoad.pdf] wireless users to connect to a wireless network using multiple antennas and radios that support Wi-Fi wireless communication standards. [http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/news/article.php/3493276]

Wi-Fi Arrays are wireless replacements for managed Ethernet switches [ [http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS6100424493.html Desktop Linux] ] that employ mesh networking to place intelligence, processing, and encryption power at the edge of the network [http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS6100424493.html] by integrating a wireless LAN switch and multiple access points into a single package. Each access point, or radio, acts as a central transmitter and receiver of Wi-Fi radio signals. [http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wireless/g/bldef_ap.htm]

Prior to wireless networks, setting up a computer network in a building required running many cables [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/home-network2.htm] through the facility in order to deliver network access to all of the network-enabled devices. [http://www.tecschange.org/networks/network-syllabus.html] Wireless access points allow network users to access the network with few or no cables. [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/home-network3.htm] The WAPs being manufactured today are built to support a IEEE defined standard for sending and receiving data using radio frequencies rather than cabling. [http://standards.ieee.org/announcements/pr_companion.html] Wi-Fi Arrays allow further convenience and efficiency by bundling multiple access points, a wireless LAN controller, and a Wi-Fi threat sensor, into a single package.
