Deployments Requiring Distributed
Wireless Connectivity with Plug-and-Play
Installation and Centralized Support
Summit wireless mobility is ideal for multi-
site enterprise deployments with a central-
ized Summit WM switch installed in the
headquarters facility. APs can be shipped to
remote sites and installed by non-skilled
labor. When connected to the network, the
APs will automatically find and connect to
the Summit WM switch. With Branch Office
mode, remote APs bridge to the local
switching infrastructure, offering high-
performance for local wireless users while
still being centrally managed from the
Summit WM switch.

Support for High-Performance
Applications Such as Voice over WLAN
Summit WM series switches support
voice-grade Layer 3 roaming across APs,
with pre-authentication to preserve
security and IP persistence to minimize
dropped connections. Not only is this
roaming available across subnets, but also
across APs that are operating off of
different Summit WM switches. Summit WM
has Pairwise Master Key (PMK) caching
which enables the roaming client to
preauthenticate with nearby APs. This is
ideal for voice handsets or roaming
applications such as a wireless device
mounted on a warehouse forklift.

Target Applications
Guest Access Applications
The Internal Captive Portal feature of the
Summit WM controller allows for an
optional authentication scheme. A simple
configurable login web page is offered to
the client upon association. The Summit WM
controller also provides an API for integra-
tion with external third-party Guest Access
applications. These applications can be
customized for various sectors including
universities, enterprises, healthcare and
managed services.
