, .: ; Background City of Decatur has requested Burwood Group provide a proposal for services to update their existing point- to-point wireless network. The City of Decatur requested[hat the new design provides manageability, increased bandwidth, security, and scalability to meet future needs of[he city. Burwood Group recommends using Cisco 1510AG LWAPP bridges to provide the City of Decatur's wireless needs. The 1510AG provides security, manageability, and reliability to create high performance WLANS for outdoor wireless networks. The 1510AG utilizes 5 GHz technology also known as 802.11 a. This AP provides individualized channels, as well as its sustained speeds over long distances. The Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) provides central management platform for all access points, and[he ability to expand in the future, and supports redundant links should one AP fail. Also the Cisco LWAPP outdoor wireless would be the initial steps to providing that city with a mesh network for future applications. Mesh networking has long been established as the preferred outdoor networking solution. Along with its decision process for the best path to the core, MESH has been dubbed the"self-healing"solution. Given the nature of this technology, Cisco requires special certifications to sell and deploy this equipment. Burwood Group is one of the few Cisco gold certified partners which has this Advanced Wireless specialization along with the Wireless MESH caveat.
