vWLAN
ADTRAN is the only company to provide wireless LAN
control virtualized on software residing on either a
hypervisor (e.g. VMware) or an appliance. This new, next
generation wireless architecture is designed around a
concept of simplified scalability and flexibility. vWLAN
removes the complexities and limitations 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 thou-
sands of Aps.

Wireless Access Points
ADTRAN’s line of Bluesocket wireless access points are
designed for secure, mission critical, wireless access.
These reliable, performance-based Aps offer multiple
antenna options, support 802.3af power over ethernet
for trouble-free deployment, and are completely
plug and-play, requiring no manual configuration.

This separation of control and data allows vWLAN
to support hitless failovers. A secondary virtual control
instance can back up the primary control. If an access
point loses connection with the primary virtual control
instance, it will realign with the secondary control. This
re-establishment of the control plane takes place with
zero packet loss to any of the data sessions.

Virtualization
One of the most significant developments in enterprise
computing is virtualization. Virtualization optimizes
the computing power of an enterprise allowing for cost-
effective scaling of critical applications. Single purpose
servers tied to only one application or operating system
isolate and sub-optimize computing resources and
now seem like a relic of a past era in computing. Yet this
outdated approach is exactly the design of most conven-
tional WLANs. The answer from most WLAN companies
was to build bigger and bigger controllers. And with
the advent of higher data speeds and more users, the
burden of the controller only becomes greater. ADTRAN
took a different route, unshackling the wireless network
from the limitations of an expensive physical controller.
