Overview of ProCurve Mobility Infrastructure
Solutions
ProCurve's expansion of its mobility offerings means
that organizations can now choose the WLAN
approaches and products that best fit their individual
needs.
ProCurve Wireless LAN System
ProCurve's wireless LAN system comprises integrated,
highly available wired and wireless services aimed at
campus deployments and medium to large remote sites.
ProCurve wireless LAN systems are available for a wide
range of deployment scenarios, from the LAN edge to the
core. Wireless LAN systems can be deployed using the
majority of ProCurve chassis switch offerings, including
the ProCurve Switch 5300xl series, Switch 5400zl series
and Switch 8212zl switches.
A ProCurve wireless LAN system consists of a ProCurve
Wireless Edge Services Module, one or more ProCurve
Radio Ports (coordinated access points) and Switch
5300xl series chassis or choice of ProCurve premier zl
switch chassis. When combined into a complete wireless
edge services solution, these products create a secure,
unified wired and wireless ProCurve intelligent edge
with the following business benefits:
• Centralized, unified wired and wireless network
management, which reduces operational overhead
and costs
• Highly secure, yet flexible, network access to accelerate
business opportunities
• Business-critical application support, including
a VoWLAN-ready architecture
• Highly available operations and network resiliency
to maintain business continuity
• Easy deployment, scalability and pay-as-you-go
capacity expansion via software license to reduce
total cost of ownership

ProCurve Standalone Access Points
ProCurve standalone access points provide an excellent
option for small organizations to enterprises with some
level of distributed operation, such as satellite branches
or campus environments.
The ProCurve Access Point 530 is a highly intelligent
standalone access point ideal for distributed sites. The
530 intelligent edge AP is an enterprise-class, dual-radio
access point with support for 802.11b/g and 802.11a/b/g
standards. Its maximum flexibility in deployment and
extensive built-in capabilities make it an ideal solution
for distributed office environments (e.g., organizations
having many, smaller remote or branch offices or
standalone small offices).
The Access Point 530 offers the following:
• Robust functionality including a comprehensive range
of industry-proven user authentication methods and
wireless security.
• Consistent, centralized network management for
reduced operational overhead and costs — with
centrally administered, edge-enforced, identity-driven
access control via ProCurve Identity Driven Manager
(IDM), for highly secure yet flexible control of access
to the network.
