Virtualization is a key component to scaling wireless networks
ADTRAN recently announced the acquisition of Bluesocket, a leading innovator in virtual wireless LAN solutions. Virtualization is a key component to scaling wireless networks. As enterprises become increasingly mobile and distributed, traditional controller based architectures become costly and cumbersome to manage. Our key innovation is the virtualization of the control and management of the wireless network, or better know as vWLAN. Remote sites and users are managed from a single location that can be private or public cloud based.
ADTRAN is the only company to provide wireless LAN control through a VMware ready application. This new, next generation wireless architecture is designed around a concept of simplified scalability. vWLAN removes the complexities of dealing with controller capacity by centralizing the management and control functions. Therefore, adding additional access points to the vWLAN system is as easy as installing a software license, which can extend the coverage to thousands of APs.

ADTRAN’s family of high-performance Access Points (APs) are the perfect fit for enterprises looking to deploy secure wireless networks. Whether you want to add wireless to your office or light-up an entire campus, ADTRAN’s APs are designed to meet your needs.
