Topics for the session …
• What is UC (Unified Communication )
• Typical Infrastructure Challenges with UC
• Innovative D-Link Solutions
• D-Link an Update?

UC – The Communication Edge
Unified communication (UC) is about unifying
people , information and context
UC brings all of a company’s
communications and collaborative
tools together.
Enables people to
communicate with each other
virtually anywhere, anytime
over any device
It is the convergence of all forms
of audio, video ,web and desktop
communications that is built on an IP
network that breaks down all
distances ,time and media barriers.

Challenges with UC Infrastructure…
1
Seamless Network - Wired & Wireless Integration
2
Reliability of the Network backbone
3
Security of Network

The need..
• Unified wired and wireless access system
• Unified management and security
– Centralized Access Point and client management
– Rogue AP detection/ mitigation
• Better performance
– Guarantee on no-overlapping wireless coverage area
• Seamless roaming
7
Unified Wireless Solution
Scalable Unified Wired / Wireless Network Architecture
• Optimized wireless network
deployment in business
environments.
• Self Healing & Load balancing
architecture
• Provides high performance,
secure, manageable and scalable
unified wired/wireless LAN
switching.
• Simple deployment of wireless
devices regardless of physical
locations, and centralized
management/policy enforcement
of wireless mobility
8
Self Healing & Load Balancing
•
•
•
Wireless switch performs load utilization across the switch-managed access
points on per radio basis based on AP’s utilization rate.
The APs report bandwidth utilization to the wireless switch regularly
If the bandwidth utilization reaches a configured threshold then the new
client associations are rejected. The new client will be forced to connect to
an overlapped neighbor AP with lower utilization.
Utilization rate increased

Fast Roaming
•
•
Roaming allows wireless clients to move from one location to another,
seamlessly switching from one Access Point to another and maintaining
access to the network.
When a wireless client (fast) roams among different APs , the same security
setting and IP address “follows” the client. That means there is no need for
IP re-allocation and re-authentication in order to keep the connection alive.
Hence, it is seamless.

With Fast Roaming feature, mobile users can
move to any place where covered by an
overlapped neighbor without the need to reauthenticate
No re-authentication

Comprehensive Management
• D-Link Unified Access System includes a set of comprehensive
management functions for managing and monitoring the WLAN by
using one of the three methods provided
– Web-based management interface
– Command-Line Interface (CLI)
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
