Aruba - Top 10 VoIP Leaders

Website: www.arubanetworks.com

What makes it a fierce leader: In the hot wireless space, Aruba has stood out with its commitment to true wireless convergence and determination to create a one box solution for companies seeking a totally wireless data and voice platform. When the controller to do this scales up to 80 Gbs and is capable of handling up to 2000 access points and 30,000 users you know it is a truly industrial solution.
Based in Sunnyvale California, Aruba took a strong stand against the first batch of 802.11 n chips arguing they were both hot and too energy intensive for enterprise deployment. Finally releasing an 802.11n multi service controller in November, Aruba has tied security to the user, rather than the actual access point, and because the access points have built in firewalls they are perfect for the mobile workforce, ending the heart burn of VPN tunnels.
What to look for: Aruba is the leader at the mobile edge, offering true fixed to mobile convergence today and forcefully challenging the femtocell model being pushed by a number of providers. Look for Aruba's boxes to start appearing in sectors like finance and government, both of which have traditionally eschewed wireless because of security and/or scale issues.
