Siemens has expanded its expertise within the HiPath portfolio to address the rapidly growing WLAN market. HiPath Wireless provides wireless connectivity directly over IP. This approach enables out-of-the-box compatibility with leading wired network infrastructure and provides the foundation for wireless voice over IP. With HiPath Wireless’ plug-and-play technology and the centralized system-approach favored by Siemens, customer deployments are faster and overall maintenance and operational costs are lower compared to the decentralized approach of alternate solutions. High performance wireless controllers provide centralized intelligence for the wireless network and enterprise-class dual band access points provide coverage anywhere that wireless service is required. Both can be placed anywhere on the network, with the ability to communicate with all network devices.
The HiPath Wireless architecture is built for the unique requirements of converged voice and data applications running on a unified wireless network. These applications are delivered on an infrastructure engineered for superior mobility, performance and security and developed to provide maximum flexibility, scalability and manageability.
Available today, designed for tomorrow. A truly enterprise-class wireless solution from Siemens.

HiPath Wireless provides connectivity directly over IP (Internet Protocol). This approach enables out-of-the-box compatibility with leading wired network infrastructure, provides the foundation for wireless voice over IP (VoIP) and gives customers a future-proof solution for wireless data and voice communications. The entire line of HiPath Wireless products includes Siemens HiPath Wireless Convergence software that enables you to securely partition the WLAN network to deliver independent policies and traffic for separate user groups. . . providing enhanced wireless service at a lower cost.
HiPath Wireless Controller
The HiPath Wireless Controller is a high performance platform that provides centralized intelligence for the HiPath Wireless solution. Each HiPath Wireless Controller is a full-functioning router that aggregates all access points - the HiPath Wireless Access Points as well as third-party access points - into what appears as individual, centrally managed IP subnets to the rest of the network. As a result, network management, which is centralized at the HiPath Wireless Controller is greatly simplified, eliminating the need to ever physically visit the remote HiPath Access Points.
HiPath Wireless Controllers can be placed anywhere on the network, with the ability to communicate with all the other network devices. It is available in several versions including a Fast Ethernet and a Gigabit Ethernet.
The HiPath Wireless Controller is the centralized platform from which up to 200 Access Points can be controlled and managed. Controllers are available in a number of hardware configurations suited for different sized deployments. Located anywhere in the network, the controller aggregates all Access Points into centrally managed IP subnets. In addition to redundancy features like dual power supplies and multiple data ports, controllers can be deployed in pairs so that a secondary controller takes over in the event of a primary controller failure.
The HiPath Wireless Controller family includes:
- HiPath Wireless Controller C10: up to 30 APs, 512 users
- HiPath Wireless Controller C100: 4 Fast Ethernet Ports, supports up to 75 APs , 1,536 users
- HiPath Wireless Controller C1000: 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, supports up to 200 APs, 4,096 users
HiPath Wireless Controller Features:
- High-performance platform supporting from tens to hundreds of HiPath Wireless Access Points
- Full layer 3 router
- Comprehensive security options
- WPA, 802.1x, Captive Portal
- RADIUS, Rogue AP detection
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- End user subscriber management
- Client independent mobility
- Aggregation point to other networks
HiPath Wireless Access Point
The HiPath Wireless Access Point is an enterprise-class dual band (802.11a/b/g) access point that provides radio frequency (RF) coverage anywhere that wireless service is required. Because of its IP-routed architecture, the HiPath Wireless Controller allows organizations to place HiPath Wireless Access Points anywhere in the entire IP network. HiPath Wireless Access Points’ plug-and-play technology greatly simplifies the installation process — simply plug it into the network and it automatically discovers the appropriate HiPath Wireless Controller and is automatically added to the network. Because no configuration is required on the HiPath Wireless Access Point, deployment is faster and overall maintenance and operational costs are low.
