Today Tolly, the leading global provider of hands-on IT research, published a Remote Site Deployment, Features and Resiliency Evaluation of the Zebra WiNG 5 Wireless LAN Solution versus Aruba Networks and Cisco Systems. Zebra commissioned Tolly to evaluate the Zebra, Aruba and Cisco offerings in several areas especially critical in remote branch office environments. The Zebra solution, built on its WiNG 5 architecture, provided significant benefits over the competing solutions. Zebra's deployment was less complex and scaled better than Aruba and Cisco, provided significant functionality and security benefits when branch/retail locations were disconnected from the central-site controller and offered WAN prioritization functionality not offered by the others.

Zebra WiNG 5 Wireless LAN provides:

• Fastest deployment time by up to 3X as compared to Cisco and Aruba
• Better voice quality with MOS score of 4.3 as compared 2.5 with Cisco by making load balancing decisions at the remote branch
• 25% more throughput compared to Cisco by making load balancing decisions at the remote branch
• Remote capture and review logs and debug info at a device, AP, and branch level, entirely from a centralized location unlike Cisco and Aruba
• More efficient WAN bandwidth utilization and improved performance for corporate applications as compared to guests through efficient traffic routing
