SUNNYVALE, US:Aruba Networks, Inc., a leader in 802.11n wireless LANs and secure mobility solutions, today announced the availability of “Network Rightsizing Best Practices Guide,” a reference primer compiled from real-world implementations, that shows how 802.11n Wi-Fi can significantly lower the cost of refreshing wired LAN infrastructure while also improving services.

“Network rightsizing is a field-proven, cost-saving technique”.

As workforces have become increasingly mobile, the demand for Wi-Fi connectivity has grown while use of wired Ethernet access at the network edge has fallen. This dichotomy has created a significant cost-saving opportunity. By using low-cost Wi-Fi everywhere you can, and expensive Ethernet only where you must - a process called “network rightsizing” - enterprises, enhance user mobility while significantly lowering capital and operating expenses.

Network rightsizing has been field-proven to realize substantial cost savings during a network refresh and when Ethernet switches are discontinued.
