“SDN enables application performance, ease of management and simplicity of use for the unified wired and wireless access network. Meru is working toward truly open, standards-based networks where best-in-class solutions win, removing complexity from access network deployment and management – without requiring additional training and equipment replacement.” – Ajay Malik, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Products, Meru Networks
