"Alcatel-Lucent's next generation WLAN solution is a highly scalable, comprehensive set of mobile LAN products that automatically identify and authenticate users as they connect to the network. Once user identity is established, it enables "follow-me" privileges, security and services - something no other enterprise system provides today. This sophisticated technology gives corporations the power to manage and secure people rather than ports."
