Real-Time Application Support
The Cisco Unified Wireless Network provides best-in-class performance to support real-time applications such as
voice. Cisco WiSM enables rapid handoff between access points and multiple modules and/or controllers, providing
smooth mobility with no interruption in service to the client. Intelligent queuing and contention management schemes
provide effective resource management in the air space. The Cisco WiSM also supports QoS capabilities that are
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)-compliant and closely mirror the emerging IEEE 802.11e standard. Full compliance with
the finished standard will be achieved via a software upgrade when the final standard is ratified.
Mobility
The Cisco WiSM allows users to roam between access points and across bridged and routed subnets without
requiring changes to the underlying infrastructure. Security and QoS context information follows users wherever they
roam, helping to ensure that mobility does not compromise performance, reliability, or privacy. The Cisco WiSM
does not require any modifications to existing infrastructures or client devices to enable mobility (mobile IP, for
example).
Simplified Deployment and Management
The Cisco WiSM is easy to deploy and cost-effective to own and operate. It provides maximum flexibility to deploy
anywhere in the network—from access, to distribution, to the core—based upon customer business requirements. It
supports zero-touch deployments that do not require manual or preconfiguration of the access points. It also
supports template-based configuration management. These intuitive templates enable the quick application of
systemwide security configurations, QoS policies, mobility groups, back-end services, and other important
configurations via the easy-to-use, award-winning Cisco WLAN user interface.
The Cisco WiSM supports several embedded troubleshooting tools. When deployed with Cisco WCS, it supports
enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting features, including intuitive heat map displays, alarm filtering, event
correlation, and granular reporting tools.
Carrier-Class Outdoor Wireless Mesh
The Cisco WiSM is a key component of Cisco Service Provider Wi-Fi (SP Wi-Fi)—the outdoor wireless mesh
architecture for service providers. Cisco SP Wi-Fi combines a superior wireless access network with a fully
integrated and intelligent back-end network for an end-to-end architecture that securely and dynamically controls
subscriber access and applications across outdoor wireless mesh networks. With Cisco SP Wi-Fi, providers can
offer outdoor wireless broadband services to current and new business and government customers, all while making
use of their existing Carrier Ethernet investment. This converged IP Next Generation Network platform translates into
new revenue streams, reduced operating expenses, improved communication and efficiency for business customers,
and better service and safety for communities.
