What’s EAP (Enterprise Access Point)

• A device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi

• Providing Stable Connection, Better Coverage, Reliability than consumer APs

• Usually deployed with Wireless Controller, which is used to control , manage APs

• Cisco, Juniper, Ruckus, Aerohive, Aruba are key players in the market
