Meru Networks, the leader in workplace mobility infrastructure,
today announced that Denver International Airport (DIA) has deployed
Meru Network's 802.11n wireless local-area network (WLAN) system for
pervasive wireless coverage throughout its highly trafficked, 1.5
million square-feet facilities.
DIA has replaced its legacy wireless access points (APs) with IEEE
802.11n draft 2.0 Wi-Fi Alliance-Certified WLAN infrastructure from
Meru Networks. In addition to providing free wireless network access
to the more than 40 million passengers that use the airport annually,
DIA will also serve as the managed wireless services provider to the
30 airlines and hundreds of concessionaires and stores at the airport.
As the fifth busiest airport in the United States, it was critical
that DIA deploy a solution that would provide the capacity and
security required to handle the unpredictable network demands of
passengers while also providing the quality of service (QoS) expected
by the stores and airlines.
"802.11n technology is ready for deployment, and enterprises are
beginning to realize the benefits of the many advanced capabilities
that are inherent in 802.11n," said Craig Mathias, principal at
Farpoint Group, a wireless and mobile advisory firm in Ashland, MA.
"DIA is a perfect example of how even the largest enterprises can now
offer high-performance wireless service with improved reliability and
greater capacity while supporting a large number of diverse users,
subscriber units and applications."
DIA recently completed installing Meru Network's AP300 APs and
MC3000 wireless controllers. The AP300 is equipped with two a/b/g/n
radios to simultaneously support the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums that
provide backward compatibility with legacy 802.11b/g clients as well
as prepare the network for the next-generation 802.11n clients. With
Meru Network's 802.11n technology, the airport will be able to support
the demands of airport businesses and passengers using a variety of
wireless consumer electronics including personal computers and
handheld devices running data, voice and video applications.
Meru Network's Innovative Architecture
Meru Network's unique single channel wireless architecture allows
enterprises to migrate to the next physical standard without requiring
a redesign of the network. Starting with a single channel and layering
the channels on top of it as needed allows enterprises to easily and
cost-effectively add capacity to the network as the demands increase.
"With the millions of passengers, concessionaires and employees of
the Denver International Airport, the ability to simultaneously
support security and QoS, as well as handle high capacities and dense
user environments are of vital importance," said Rachna Ahlawat, vice
president, strategic marketing at Meru Networks. "Meru Networks excels
in these challenging environments. By choosing to go with the 802.11n
products, the airport will now be able to provide the throughput and
range required on a wireless medium to take the technology and the
market to the next level of the all-wireless enterprise."
