HP ProCurve wireless MultiService Access
      Points 
       bring intelligence to the network edge, enabling
       organizations to ctrate a high-performance wireless
       networking with direct source-to-destination traffic
       forwarding.

       Lagacy wireless access points send traffic on       a detour
       Over the past 4 years, enterprises settled on a
       centralized WLAN switch architecture to deliver wireless networking. In this model a thin/lite
       wireless access point is simply a large antenna that forwards all traffic to a centralized WLAN
       switch - sometimes through several network hops - where it is finally switched onto the wired
       network. This provides an unnesessary detour for traffic, adding precious seconds to application
       response time and inefficiently using the infrastructure. There is a better, more modern wireless
       networking aproach - HP ProCurve can help!

       HP ProCurve wireless access points deliver optimum performance
       HP ProCurve wireless MultiService Access Points(MAPs) deliver scalable, seamless wireless
       access anywhere, anytime. Unlike thin/lite wireless access points, thd HP ProCurve MAP feature
       set is abundantly rich, dispensing multiple network services, enforcing robust security policies
       and delivering high performance client access. An integral component of the HP ProCurve Intelligent
       Mobility Solution, MAPs are centrally controlled by Multiservice Controllers(MSCs) for ease of
       deployment and centralized management.
