Cherry Wireless and Cabling recognises the concerns corporate business may have with regards to security with a WiFi network.
Having spent millions on securing a structured cabled network for desk based PC's and phones it is not easy for corporate business to accommodate user demand for mobility.
For this reason Cherry W&C researched the WiFi manufacturer market evaluating solutions from Cisco, Aruba and Trapeze with a desire to understand how their solutions would fit into existing corporate infrastructure without compromising security or the need for costly re-engineering.
The results of our research led us to form a strategic partnership with Trapeze Networks.
The Trapeze Networks™ Mobility System™ includes the Mobility Exchange™(MX™), Mobility Point™(MP™), Mobility System Software™(MSS™) and the RingMaster™ tool suite. Used by some of world's largest businesses, the system delivers best-in-class secure mobility, the broadest range of WLAN services, and the lowest total cost of ownership. By providing secure user mobility, automated wireless planning and management, and easy integration with wired networks, the Trapeze Mobility System introduces new efficiencies and accelerates business response time. Trapeze lets businesses extend productivity-enhancing applications and revenue-generating services to where the work gets done.
Trapeze ensures secure mobility with Identity-Based Networking, which relies on a user's identity, vs. a port or device, to deliver services. With the Trapeze Mobility System, there's no need to modify clients, protocols or the wired infrastructure to do wireless. The original access controls, policies and privileges assigned to users stay with them from wired to wireless. Best of all, Trapeze lets users roam - securely - anywhere you choose to allow them, over any topology.
When it comes to applications and services, Trapeze has it covered. We support high-quality voice-over-wireless IP so doctors and nurses can communicate using 802.11 phones, PDAs, tablet PCs, laptops, handhelds and other authorized devices. Hotel guests can pay a fee to go wireless anywhere on the property. Landlords can attract tenants by offering wireless services that keep each occupant's traffic secure and separate. Airports keep the traffic moving, and entertainment venues handle crowds using wireless ticket kiosks. Distribution logistics - from the initial product order to customer delivery - flow faster and much more efficiently.
The financial benefits of the Trapeze Mobility System derive from both the architecture, which is easy to deploy and requires no infrastructure changes, and RingMaster, which simplifies planning but more importantly makes the running of the WLAN highly efficient. Our customers rely on RingMaster to turn three-day projects into simple tasks taking just moments. It's these operational savings that enable Trapeze to provide an outstanding return on investment - our customers have reduced their operating expenses by as much as 70%, cut their total cost of ownership by 50% compared to WLANs from other vendors, and have recouped their Trapeze investment in less than a year.
