mobile carts are moving around a large warehouse area that is deployed with several wireless access
points. By deploying a smart beacon management at the wireless access point and the mobile station, the
hand-off process delay which typically takes 1-4 seconds for open security can be reduce to be less than
0.5 second.
This feature is only available to Atop Wireless products. However, it is backward compatible to IEEE
802.11 standard wireless stations, and can be used together with other standard wireless access points
and stations.
1.2.2. Smart Routing
WDS protocol shares the same wireless medium with regular traffic from wireless stations. Due to the
limited wireless bandwidth, typical WDS traffic can tremendously reduce the overall network throughput.
By deploying smart routing technique, our access point smartly filters all redundant traffics on both wired
and wireless interfaces, improving the overall network performance.
1.2.3. Wireless Client Isolation
This special feature deploys intelligent network isolation to create a virtual network among wireless clients.
We can prevent the communication among wireless clients into two levels (1) blocking all communication
among wireless clients or (2) allowing only wireless clients associated to the same AP to communicate to
each other. This is to help operators to separate malicious traffic from guest or public wireless LAN to
flood the main wireless control network. It provides more network security, preventing possible data
flooding due to virus, worm or spam.
