Aruba Networks has been selected by Microsoft Corporation to provide next-generation networking equipment for what will probably be one of the world's largest wireless LANs (WLAN), serving more than 25 000 simultaneous users every day across more than 60 countries around the world.
The Business Solutions division of the JSE-listed Square One Solutions Group is a partner of Aruba Networks in SA.
Deployed in 277 buildings covering more than 5 million square metres, Microsoft's new WLAN will be constructed using Aruba mobility controllers and software and about 5 000 ultra-thin Aruba wireless access points.
The new enterprise-wide Aruba mobility system will provide Microsoft with a single, flexible and highly secure environment for all types of users and devices. It will enable Microsoft to centrally control and secure wireless users and devices anywhere while providing seamless voice and data communications.
Aruba's mobility products were selected by Microsoft after an extensive technical evaluation that put Aruba and competitive products through 35 different highly rigorous security, scalability, performance and functionality tests performed by some of the world's leading independent laboratories including Iometrix of San Francisco and the University of New Hampshire (Interoperability).
