The Mobility Benefits of Wireless

Wireless solutions is a growing segment of networking technology and WWSI is taking the lead with Belden's Wireless Solution (BWS).

Customers are totally dependent on "network access" to communicate with other systems, networks and people all over the world.

While conventional hard-wired networks meet this need, a new need is developing, the need for mobility. People are no longer willing to be tied to their desks; they can't afford it.

Easy to plan
No RF expertise is needed. Using Belden's software planning tool, you simply input the square mtr coverage and the desired quality of service, and it will tell you how many AP's you need to use and where.

Easy to Deploy, Validate, and Maintain
Power over Ethernet is built into the Belden Switch, so there is no need for a Midspan an Endspan device.

Easy for Users
Users no longer need to consider their proximity to an AP to achieve connectivity. They go wherever they want, secure in the knowledge that their grade of service stays consistent.

Delivers the Highest Wireless Performance
Unlike the case of cell-based WLAN systems, Belden's unique architecture yields an enterprise grade wireless LAN and no tradeoffs between coverage, capacity and mobility.

Ubiquitous Coverage
The Belden Switch prevents co-channel interference by ensuring that only non interfering AP's are permitted to transmit simultaneously on the same channel.

Highest Capacity and Bandwidth
 - Eliminates "edge users"
 - Eliminates client "bunching"
 - Highest capacity through layered blankets
 - Boosts total system bandwidth

Seamless, Zero-Latency Mobility
In the Belden Wireless Solution, the user associates once with the switch, and then proceeds to move freely within the channel blanket, without ever experiencing inter - AP handoff's. This ensures that communications are never interrupted or disrupted by mobility.

Wire-Like Resilient Connectivity
The BWS is the only WLAN system that introduces the concept of uplink path diversity. Within the channel blanket multiple AP's can simultaneously hear the clients transmission. The switch selects the optimal point of reception for each packet instance.

A new level of Quality of Service (QoS)
The layered channel blanket architecture of the BWS gives IT unprecedented flexibility to dedicate physical channel bandwidth to one type of use over another. The bottom line is a new level of configuration flexibility never before seen.

This is the essence of true triple play convergence the data-voice-video Holy Grail of the WLAN world. Voice over IP call don't get dropped due to contention with data transmissions.
