Unlike other WLAN systems that rely solely on centralized forwarding at the WLAN controller, the Trapeze Smart Mobile architecture also allows Distributed Forwarding at the access point to offload WLAN controllers and optimize traffic flows for latency sensitive applications such as voice and Telemetry. It does not end there...

Trapeze has implemented many other innovations to maximize scalability, and control utilization.QoS profiles and bandwidth limits can be set on a per SSID or per user basis genabling granular control over application priority and bandwidth. 

While patented Band Steering transparently causes 802.11a-capable devices to use the 5Ghz band, recovering 30-40% more usable capacity in the crowded 2.4Ghz band, without requiring any client or network configuration changes.

Trapeze is also unique in enabling automatic Client Load Balancing across multiple access points, even between access points managed by different controllers. Further, access point management and control is also balanced among members of a cluster of controllers. This ensures maximum availability, and allows for instant capacity scalng or in-service upgrades.
