'Meru provides 802.11n infrastructure for NATO summit'

Nov 17, 2009 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- WLAN equipment maker Meru Networks has been contracted to provide 802.11n wireless infrastructure for this year's NATO 60th anniversary summit in Strasbourg. Meru was contracted to provide a WLAN that can support up to 4,500 simultaneous Wi-Fi connections, both on the internet and via an internal VPN. Meru's partner Altius deployed three Meru WLANs comprising a total of 80 access points and six controllers rented from Leni, a company specialising in high-tech equipment rental for big events. Six engineers were able to complete the deployment in less than two weeks. To guarantee bandwidth to every Wi-Fi user, the networks built of multiple virtual cells were configured to support both 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n and to offer a bandwidth greater than 1.6Gbps.
