Aruba Debuts Mid-range, Centralized Wi-Fi Switch

Aruba Wireless Networks introduced a mid-range, centralized Wi-Fi switch for dense building environments. The Aruba 2400, which extends the company's existing family of centralized Wi-Fi switching systems, provides Wi-Fi switching, Wi-Fi security appliance and Wi-Fi IDS functions simultaneously. The Aruba 2400 switches and processes both native Ethernet (802.3) and Wi-Fi (802.11) packets. The Aruba 2400 is also optimized for supporting voice communications over wireless. To ensure no degradation in service quality, low latency (sub-10 millisecond) handoffs happen in the Aruba switch. New software enhancements add call admission control and active call management for voice traffic. Aruba also provides flow classification to ensure that voice traffic is prioritized on the wire as well as in the air.
