WiNG 5 enables all WLAN infrastructure with the intelligence required to work together to determine the most efficient path for every transmission. The need to route all traffic through a controller is eliminated, along with the resulting congestion and latency, resulting in higher throughput and superior network performance. Since all features are available at the access layer, they remain available even when the controller is offline, for example, due to a WAN outage, ensuring site survivability and extraordinary network resilience. In addition, you get unprecedented scalability, large networks can support as many as 10,000 nodes without impacting throughput or manageability, providing unprecedented scalability.
