SmartPath Wireless: an Introduction
SmartPath Enterprise
Wireless System
The smart way to create an 802.11n network
or upgrade an older WLAN or wired LAN
for 802.11n Wi-Fi communications.
Black Box’s SmartPath
™
Enterprise Wireless system combines the stability,
security, and speed of a wired network with the versatility and adaptability
of a wireless network. It’s just what you need to set up fast, 802.11n standard
Wi-Fi communications in a logical way.
The technology differs greatly from existing wireless technology available
today. You get speed and reliable wireless communications from a system
that’s simpler — and more affordable — to deploy.
With SmartPath, you get enterprise-class access points (APs) and a suite
of management and security functions that provides all the benefits of
a controller-based wireless LAN (WLAN) solution — without requiring
a controller or an overlay network.
SmartPath APs work together to improve throughput and provide
redundancy for your latest 802.11n wireless devices. The SmartPath system
combines a distributed WLAN architecture and best-in-class management
without a lot of upfront costs or operating expenses.
»
Reliability, throughput rivals that of wired networks.
»
Supports video and VoIP communications.
»
No expensive controllers needed.
»
Smart APs sort and send packets to WLAN
or wired points.
»
Architecture reduces traffic backhauling. QoS and policy
enforced right at the edge.
Because there are no expensive controllers required, you can expand
from a few APs to thousands of APs easily — with no hidden upgrade costs.
Start small, adding APs into an existing wired network as your budget allows,
or build a complete enterprise-grade WLAN all at once.
Plus, the system boasts robust security and policy enforcement, including
firewall and NAC functionality. Built-in RADIUS server and LDAP/Active
Directory
™
integration — along with a full-featured guest management
system and portal — complete the system, making it perfect for organizations
of all sizes.

(30) Indoor SmartPath APs (LWN602A) managed via the cloud using (30) SmartPath Enterprise
Management System 1-Year Subscriptions (LWN600CM-1) vs. competitor systems with (30) APs,
management software, additional licenses (if required), controller(s), and support costs.
NOTE: SmartPath Cloud-Based EMS Subscriptions are represented above as “Management” expenses,
and there is no separate license purchase required.
The best thing about SmartPath Enterprise Wireless is its performance.
But don’t ignore its very low cost of entry. Versus its two leading industry
competitors, it’s very cost effective with no big investment to start
and no waste as you grow. The main reason: The unique SmartPath
architecture eliminates the need for an expensive controller. Plus, you
can manage it from the cloud (or a local appliance). If management is
lost, the APs will function normally — no backup controllers are needed
for redundancy!
