In our experience, the most pressing challenges when considering wireless and network IT include:

• Companies have already invested heavily in networking infrastructure and need a wireless network IT solution that does not require re-engineer any component of the network.
• Increased datacenter costs due to the number of network switches required to support the infrastructure
• Wireless devices are increasing at a rapid rate, this poses management issues.
• Migrate to 802.11n required
• Provide secure and controlled guest accessfor contractors, guests and customers proves difficult
• New technology trends means organization have to be able to adopt new technology strategies quickly such as virtual desktop computing/bring your own device strategies aimed at reducing cost.

A successful approach for a business to wireless should help them:

• Get more out of existing resources: Often companies have already invested heavily in IT networking infrastructure and they need a wireless solution which does not require re-engineering any components of the network.
• Reduce datacenter costs by reducing the number of network switches required to support the infrastructure: Wireless APs can be deployed throughout the organization to reduce the cost of cabling, networking and maintenance.
• Make Management Easier: Wireless devices are increasing at a rapid rate, creating a number of management concerns.
• Migrate to 802.11n: With an increasing array of mobile devices that need to be connected to the network, adoption of more efficient wireless protocols are required.
• Provide secure and controlled guest access for contractors, visitors and customers: Guest access is required in an easy to provision and manageable way, without impacting the security and performance of the corporate network.
• Be ready for new technology trends: Having enterprise Wi-Fi allows the organization to be able to adopt new IT network strategies easier such as virtual desktop computing or'bring your own device' strategies aimed at reducing cost.

BIOS are aligned with technology vendors who support an innovative new class of wireless infrastructure equipment called a Cooperative Control Access Point (CC-AP). A CC-AP combines an enterprise-class access point with a suite of cooperative control protocols and functions to provide all of the benefits of a controller-based wireless LAN solution, but without requiring a controller or an overlay network. This cooperative control functionality enables multiple APs to be organized into groups that share control information between APs to enable functions like fast layer 2, 3 and 4 roaming, cooperative RF management, security and mesh networking. This capability enables a next generation wireless LAN architecture that provides all of the benefits of a controller-based architecture, but is much easier to deploy and expand; making it easy to scale from one AP to thousands without ever replacing or upgrading any part of the infrastructure.
