Aruba Networks, a global provider of secure mobility solutions, has announced its Secure Enterprise Mesh technology that enables a converged data, voice, and video network to be deployed or expanded without installing any new data wiring.

An extension of Aruba's wireless LAN and security solutions, the Secure Enterprise Mesh technology sends information from location to location over an exclusively wireless network, and can be installed, moved, or changed quickly and easily as needed.

Designed for business-critical applications in which highly reliable communications and client-to-core security are important, the mesh can reach locations that would be prohibitively expensive, if not impossible, to network using a wired solution.

"Aruba's secure mobility architecture blurs the distinction between wired and wireless networks in terms of assured application delivery and security, while offering the mobility, productivity, and life-cycle cost benefits that come from a wire-free network," said Keerti Melkote, Aruba's Founder and Head of Products and Partnerships.

"Any indoor or ruggedised outdoor Aruba access point can be loaded with the Secure Enterprise Mesh software, giving integrators a powerful new tool for difficult installation scenarios."

Security policies are centrally managed from an Aruba Mobility Controller, which offers ultra high bandwidth, capacity, and availability.

Network installation is simplified both by the elimination of network wiring and the use of cooperative control and mesh cluster optimisation. The wire-free design makes it possible to locate, and relocate, mesh access points as and where needed.

Typical applications include campus video surveillance, remote building interconnections, sporting arenas and stadiums, rapid-deployment security monitoring, and disaster recovery operations.
