Synaptic Solutions – Meru wireless Pinnacle partner. The supply and deployment of wireless and network infrastructure to schools, colleges and universities.

Meru Networks designs and develops secure standards-compliant 802.11 Wireless LAN Systems for  data, voice and real-time applications. Meru's Wireless LAN System includes the Meru Access Point, a standards-compliant 802.11an/bgn access point that simultaneously acts as an access point and RF monitor; the Meru Controller, a centralised coordinator by which all security, QoS and management policies can be configured and enforced across the entire wireless LAN, and Meru System Director, an extensible, embedded software suite. Meru's Wireless LAN System uses patent pending Air Traffic Control technology to provide enterprises with significant benefits: Up to five times the Wi-Fi user density of 1st generation access points, five times the number of wireless VoIP calls on the WLAN, and zero loss handoffs between access points.

The Meru solution will provide over-the-air Quality of Service, predictable performance, and roaming with seamless handoffs. Meru's Wireless LAN System greatly simplifies RF planning associated with large-scale WLAN deployment and provides the industry's most comprehensive WLAN security from location to application, with continuous monitoring. Meru also provides a comprehensive set of network management tools to minimise ongoing operational costs.

Due to the architecture of the technology proposed, the Meru solution will provide a unique highly available wireless infrastructure. Through  the innovative ‘Air Traffic Control’ coordination of the access points, coverage and utilisation are properly catered for with a seamless resilience to wireless coverage achievable which in turn will achieve a highly available and more predictable infrastructure that is truly ‘fit for purpose’.

In summary a Meru Virtualized Wireless LAN simplifies each stage in the network lifecycle, making it easy to enable the All-Wireless Enterprise. With a comprehensive range of products featuring Meru's patented Virtual Cell and Virtual Port technology, wireless networks get the performance, reliability, predictability and operational simplicity of a wired network, with the advantages of mobility.

Extending a Meru network is as easy as the initial deployment: With no channel planning, access points can be added at any time without affecting others or interrupting connections. A Meru network is already able to handle any application, whether toll-quality voice, high-definition video, or pervasive telemetry, minimizing the need for costly upgrades.
