Technical Applications
Deployments Requiring Distributed
Wireless Connectivity with Plug and
Play Installation and Centralized
Support
Summit wireless mobility is ideal for multi-
site enterprise deployments with a central-
ized Summit WM switch installed in the
headquarters facility. APs can be shipped to
remote sites and installed by non-skilled
labor. When connected to the network, the
APs will automatically find and connect to
the Summit WM switch. With branch office
mode, remote APs bridge to the local
switching infrastructure, offering high-
performance for local wireless users while
still being centrally managed from the
Summit WM switch.
Applications Requiring High
Availability and RF Management
Summit WM switches offer availability
features such as redundant power supplies,
with failover coverage, and the use of OSPF
for protection against network outages. In
addition, with AutoCell, RF coverage is
monitored and should any changes in the
environment occur (such as pallets of RF-
blocking materials moved into a warehouse)
or an AP fail, AutoCell will boost the power
of neighboring APs to compensate for the
coverage gap.
Sites Requiring Both Connectivity and
Wireless Intrusion Detection
Summit wireless mobility allows installation
of Altitude 350-2 APs for both wireless
connectivity and for wireless intrusion
detection. The APs can scan multiple
channels in order to detect rogue APs and
Peer-to-Peer networks. The results from the
scanning can be collected, analyzed, and
reported a central Summit WM system,
allowing the administrator to identify the
unauthorized devices.
