BANGALORE: SiNett Corporation, developer of silicon and software for next-generation network infrastructures, and NextHop Technologies, Inc., the maker of network software solutions, have announced a partnership that will enable SiNett's One-Edge-based reference platform, OneRunner, to fully support enterprise-class wireless and wired network access with complete management capabilities.
According to the press release, the combination of SiNett's purpose-built OneEdge Switch Processor and NextHop's wireless LAN Controller Software (WCS) is designed to address the enterprise requirements for L2/L3 switching and wireless LAN (WLAN) management - including seamless mobility, enhanced security, quality of service (QoS) and advanced traffic management.
According to the company, the OneEdge Switch Processor in combination with NextHop's WCS enables OEMs and ODMs to quickly and cost-effectively build integrated wireless and wired equipment. Moreover, such equipment can be deployed at any layer in the network - at the edge, in the distribution layer, in the enterprise core - and offered at disruptive pricing levels, heralding a new generation of enterprise LAN switching infrastructure products.
A demonstration version of NextHop's software will be included on SiNett's OneEdge-based OneRunner platform, a reference design for developing secure WLAN and unified access (UA) switches and WLAN appliances. OneRunner is also designed to support different access point architectures such as ultra-thin and thin APs. NextHop's complementary WCS software provides advanced security, authentication, mobility, QoS and centralized management for WLAN (802.11) access points.
