HP has announced the launch of its Mobile Access Solution, which enables clients to optimise mobile communications through wireless access points that can support up to 50 percent more mobile devices than existing technology.

HP is offering the industry’s first access points that transmit three data streams per wireless radio as opposed to two, enabling the new HP Mobile Access Solution to increase user performance and range on wireless networks.

The new technology delivers up to 15 concurrent high-definition video conferencing sessions on the network, while prior 802.11n offerings supported only 10, and 802.11g supported just one.

Leading networking vendors sell separate equipment, software and tools for wired and wireless environments, placing extra management, cost and training burdens on clients. Built on the HP Converged Infrastructure strategy, the HP Mobile Access Solution operates as a converged network solution for both wired and wireless environments.

As a result, clients can reduce equipment, complexity and resource requirements across their entire network environment by standardising on a single solution that includes operating system, management tool and access control security.

Users are experiencing degraded network quality as the growth in popularity of mobile access devices – such as smartphones, tablets and notebooks – and multimedia content and software-as-a-service offerings is overloading network capacity. The HP Mobile Access Solution is the first dual-radio 802.11n solution with 900 Mb/s signaling to accommodate the growing number of wireless devices and delivers the performance for an improved user experience when accessing multimedia content.   

“Clients are demanding increased capacity and performance from their wireless networks without increasing complexity, management requirements or costs,” said Samer Zein, director of networking for HP Middle East. “HP is eliminating traditional barriers with innovation that gives clients a wire-like experience that speeds service delivery over wireless communications, offers broader coverage areas and delivers security consistent with the wired network.” -TradeArabia News Service
