Networking solutions for Service Providers

Accessing New Opportunities
Wireless LAN is rapidly becoming the preferred means of access for a wide range of service provider offerings. While public Internet access is the initial service of choice, advances in security and Quality of Service (QoS) have positioned WLAN as a core access technology in the emerging portfolio of voice, data, and video services for enterprises and consumers. The initiative to converge Wi-Fi and cellular services is also creating new revenue opportunities for service providers.

Highly Reliable Connectivity Required
In building these services, providers require reliable performance, scalability, and manageability. The solution must support "pay as you go" growth – assuring minimal investment as new services, users and locations are added to the network. Standards-based integration with existing transport and back-office systems is critical to keeping capital and operating costs down. And the system must provide a multiservice foundation that supports new applications and users without compromising performance, security and QoS.

Serving up WLANs Worldwide
With deployments surpassing thousands of sites and hundreds of thousands of access points, HP ProCurve Networking is a market leader in Wireless LAN solutions. The company's award-winning WLAN offering are based on the highly scalable HP ProCurve Intelligent Mobility Solution. MultiService Access Points optimize security, QoS and performance, placing capacity where it is needed – when it is needed. Cost is further optimized with the ability to serve small branch sites as efficiently as large campus WLANs.

HP ProCurve MultiService controllers enable unprecedented scalability and control in the delivery of high quality voice, data, and video services. Managed services are securely isolated from public Internet access. Services such as Voice over IP (VoIP), secure data and video surveillance can be offered with QoS and security guarantees. In addition, providers can partition their service to address both retail and wholesale business opportunities.

Service-provider investments are protected via HP ProCurve standards-based solutions, which enable a seamless fit with established transport and back-office systems. Cost management is also optimized with the HP ProCurve Network Management System, which remains unique in the ability to centrally administer large scale, carrier-class deployments.

Hot Coffee, Hotspots
Convenient and easy Internet access are core fundamentals in the WLAN solution for today’s transportation providers. Organizations with limited IT resources need WLAN solutions that provide a network of choice, allowing remote management capabilities and the ability to self-monitor and adjust in an increasingly collaborative environment. Security of applications, access to private networks and the ever-changing speeds of environments are also important factors that require WLAN equipment to integrate with satellite, GPS tracking systems and radio emissions standards, while delivering consistent, high-quality broadband performance.

Reaching Your Destination
Consumers are increasingly expecting businesses to provide broadband Internet access wherever they may be – coffee shops, city laundry spots, college campus centers, and even neighborhood bowling alleys – creating another exciting revenue opportunity for service providers. HP ProCurve also offers a hotspot solution that is globally recognized for its ease of use and deployment, plus flexible integration with back-end service providers. Based on the industry's first "hotspot in a box" solution, HP ProCurve combines a Wi-Fi certified 802.11a/b/g access point with a feature-rich multiservice controller in a centrally managed platform that is easy to deploy and operate.
