Evaluation vs. Aruba Networks and Cisco Systems
in Branch Office & Retail Store Deployments

Abstract:
Enterprise-class wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments have evolved from being
adjunct to the office wired LAN and are now the primary communication medium
for many organizations. Increased speeds have made the WLANs capable of
carrying heavier traffic loads. In parallel, the dramatic increase of tablet computing
and acceptability of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) have increased both the
importance of the WLAN and the challenges in managing the environment. As
business expands, organizations expect headquarters-class reliability for their
branch operations. When business applications are delivered wirelessly, the WLAN
becomes a critical element of the branch infrastructure.
Zebra commissioned Tolly to evaluate the Zebra, Aruba and Cisco offerings in
several areas especially critical in remote branch office environments. The Zebra
solution, built on its WiNG 5 architecture, provided significant benefits over the
competing solutions. Zebra’s deployment was less complex and scaled better than
Aruba and Cisco, provided significant functionality and security benefits when
branch/retail locations were disconnected from the central-site controller and
offered WAN prioritization functionality not offered by the others. See Figure 1.
Testing conducted May 2012.
