Uninterrupted Wireless Conferencing

75% improvement in Lync quality with Aruba

Laptops and smartphones equipped to run unified communications applications such as Microsoft Lync represent a significant opportunity to rightsize networks. With voice and video communications as an application on mobile devices, IT departments can eliminate the need for traditional telecom equipment and networking ports put in place for hardwired phones. Well… only as long as the voice and video experience over Wi-Fi is dependable.

Aruba MOVE Wi-Fi networks ensure that Microsoft Lync runs consistently and predictably on mobile devices, especially in the presence of wireless congestion and interference. Aruba’s Wi-Fi networks are context-aware. This means Wi-Fi networks automatically identify and prioritize voice and video traffic, even when Microsoft Lync communications are encrypted. Quality of service (QoS) for each media type (voice, video, IM, etc) is then enabled over the wire and the Wi-Fi network. No VLAN configuration or network engineering is required. The result is a dependable user experience unmatched by any other Wi-Fi solution whether one works on campus, at a satellite office, or from home. In fact, Microsoft Lync Server 2010 reports a 75% improvement in MOS and other metrics on an Aruba Wi-Fi network compared to other brands.
