As an enterprise call manager, it is a switch required to provide the Fixed Mobile
Convergence (FMC) function to a wireless terminal (optional).
APC (WEC8500/WEC8050)
The APC manages all the Wireless Enterprise wireless LAN APs installed in an enterprise
communication environment and it also manages user information and traffics.
Because the Wireless Enterprise wireless LAN network configuration uses a centralized
structure where all the wireless user traffics are in tunneling through the APC, the APC is
one of the most important elements related to traffic management and throughput in the
Wireless Enterprise environment.
An APC is typically installed at a position where it can be connected to a backbone switch,
core switch or router in a network. It controls the Wireless Enterprise wireless LAN AP and
provides handover, QoS, and security/authentication functions.
WEM (Wireless Enterprise Manager)
In the Wireless Enterprise wireless LAN environment, various services are provided
through a complex network configuration. As many users are involved, its management is
complex and difficult. A normal network administrator can hardly handle any problematic
issue as well as a normal management task. The WEM is a Network Management System
(NMS) that efficiently manages this kind of Wireless Enterprise wireless LAN network and
service environment.
