UNIVERGE Wireless Optimized Architecture from NEC
It’s the Power Behind Assured Mobility™
NEC’s UNIVERGE® Wireless Optimized Architecture™ is the unique wireless LAN (WLAN) that connects people to people and information—anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Wireless Optimized Architecture (WOA) advances the integration of voice telephony with WLAN technology to a new level.
NEC’s WLAN takes full advantage of NEC’s unique and advanced Wireless SIP features, optimizing and enhancing users’ Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) experience.
In addition, WOA offers enhanced Thin Access Points capabilities with a fully featured Controlling AP (WL1700-MS), ideal for SMB, pilot, small or remote office deployments.
Along with high-quality voice, WOA offers you e-mail and instant communications, real-time multimedia and data, and many other productivity-boosting advanced solutions.
WOA also offers advanced and intelligent switching techniques with NEC’s Direct AP-to-AP path, which provides peer-to-peer over WLAN.
WOA reduces network traffic congestion by intelligently forwarding media packets directly between Access Points (APs). This gives you the high-quality voice communications service you’ve come to expect from NEC.
Call hand-offs are virtually flawless, minimizing dropped calls. And WOA reduces data bottlenecks at the controller, extending equipment life and delivering superb call quality.
WOA drives all functions of the Assured Mobility Solution delivering best-in-class secure mobility with a broad range of converged mobility terminals.
WOA is a truly unified mobility platform comprised not only of the new UNIVERGE WL Controllers and APs, but also one that features a tight integration with advanced management capabilities. Such capabilities are enabled and made possible using WOA’s WLMS management software, built to allow for centralized mobility management as well as on-target planning, deployment and maintenance.
Centralized management is enhanced with WOA. Such enhancements are proven with the ability of such a platform to manage controllers and APs independent of their location in the network’s LAN or WAN environment. WOA offers flexibility in deploying an advanced WLAN, but with the benefit of centralized management.
This centralized management is not limited to the infrastructure components of this WLAN, but is also extended to users and clients that may roam seamlessly and securely throughout the network. WOA’s architecture enables WLMS to provide detailed reports of clients’ profiles, historical usages, and roaming activities; therefore extending the network’s control beyond just the infrastructure. This enablement and control of clients and their activities allows the advanced WLAN to be more forgiving for real-time applications (such as voice) that are greatly affected by events such as multiple login attempts due being mobile and roaming from one AP to another. WOA is an enhancement to the WLAN with features specific to voice-over-wireless LAN (VoWLAN).
Thanks to WOA, you’ll enjoy the same network reliability, scalability, investment protection, service and support that you’re accustomed to receiving as part of all NEC UNIVERGE solutions.
High-quality Voice Communication. NEC’s switching and handset designs prioritize voice calls, complete hand-offs quickly and seamlessly, and effectively control call admission—all critical for true wireless mobility.
Simplified Deployment. The NEC family of WLAN Access Points makes it simple to deploy and scale the WLAN network as your business grows.
Thin Access Point with Controller Features. A controlling and intelligent Thin AP with Access Point and Controller Features provides a low-entry point for small and medium-size organizations that wish to implement a WLAN.
Effective Management Tool. A simple-to-use interface helps you design, set up, operate, and maintain your WLAN.
Reduced Network Bottlenecks. WOA forwards management packets to the new UNIVERGE WL Controllers (WL1700-MS, WL5050 and WL5100) while intelligently forwarding media packets directly between Access Points (APs). In this way, WOA reduces network bottlenecks, ensures high-quality voice service and extends equipment life.
Uninterrupted Service. Dual-home AP design creates redundancy. Each AP can have two links into a network, which provides for redundancy and failover capability. There is no single point-of-control, so reliability is assured without comprising centralized management. Mission-critical applications are always on.
Investment Protection. The UNIVERGE Assured Mobility WLAN is modular and scalable with a large portfolio of products, applications and solution sets to meet diverse needs. As technology advances and your organization grows and changes, NEC offers flexible licensing for easy upgrades.
