Since the early days of Wi-Fi technology, dating back to more than 2 decades ago, the industry has witnessed multiple Wi-Fi architectural evolutions. From stand alone access points to controller based systems and on-premises management to cloud based, modern Wi-Fi architectures are transforming how network administrators ensure “always on” wireless networks. Removing data rate bottlenecks and single points of failure that can cripple a network and in turn lower productivity are key challenges that can be overcome with Arista’s Cognitive Wi-Fi Distributed Architecture.
This tech note provides a brief summary of these various evolutions, and articulates why Arista’s Cognitive Wi-Fi Distributed Architecture is unique and advantageous over the others.
