Top Competitive Advantages

What makes this product different and better than competitive products? How does it do a better job of solving customer problems/needs?

1. Optimised VoWLAN.
The ability of HiPath Wireless Access Points to perform QoS and encryption locally ensures that voice traffic performance is significantly better than competitive offerings that need to send traffic to the controller for processing. Additionally, an industry-leading array of sophisticated QoS, Call Admission Control (CAC), seamless roaming, and power saving features ensure that HiPath Wireless is the best technology solution for deploying VoWLAN. Finally, few competitors can match Siemens' extensive voice background, ensuring VoWLAN deployments that are designed and tested to meet the highest standards.

2. Rich vertical solutions suite.
No other company can match Siemens' holistic industry knowledge, specifically in "hot" WLAN verticals like healthcare, education, and manufacturing. Thanks to the SiemensONE relationship, Siemens' large and experienced services organization, broader Siemens product portfolio, and a range of HiPath Ready certified partners, only Siemens can deliver high-value vertical solutions that go beyond technology issues to address business needs.

3. Solutions-optimised architecture.
HiPath Wireless' architecture helps make it the best solution for accommodating multiple voice and data solutions on a single WLAN infrastructure. Siemens' unique VNS makes it possible to logically segment the network so that each application can have unique QoS, security, and access settings without complex network reconfiguration. Additionally, HiPath Wireless is one of the few solutions that can steer different types of traffic between the edge and core for optimal voice and data performance. Other solutions may have limited architectures that require extra, independent WLAN infrastructure to be installed, or may lack Siemens' segmentation and multimedia capabilities, forcing the customer to deploy a number of costly proprietary "point" solutions instead.

4. End-to-end portfolio.
HiPath Wireless is a complete enterprise WLAN portfolio, complete with controllers, access points, management and security software. However, HiPath Wireless is but a part of Siemens' broader "Foundation for Mobility" portfolio, which is a complete line of products needed to deploy enterprise VoWLAN and FMC solutions. Few WLAN vendors can offer such an extensive array of in-house product offerings.
