As organizations complete the industry-wide transition to Voice over IP, many network administrators are now planning for the next-generation of Voice over WiFi devices. Meraki's access points provide priority support for Voice over IP client access devices, including SIP and UMA compatible handsets.
Summary
• 802.11e and WMM quality of service support
• UAPSD power management for older devices
• Prioritized VLAN tagging for transfer to wired infrastructure
Standards-Compliant IEEE 802.11e and IEEE 802.1p Support
In the past, proprietary voice support caused countless headaches for administrators with incompatible handset devices. Meraki implements the IEEE 802.11e wireless multimedia standard, which provides prioritized queuing for voice traffic over wireless networks. Combined with Meraki’s support for 802.1p DSCP VLAN tagging, the system is able to provide priority support for voice traffic while maintaining completely open, interoperable standards compatibility that integrate with existing managed wired Ethernet infrastructure. The result is a wide array of handsets and communication devices operate seamlessly with Meraki networks.
Advanced Power Support
The MerakiOS also implements the Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) mechanism, for extending battery life on wireless handsets providing nearly double the talk time without sacrificing functionality. |
