Meru Access Points and Radio Switch
Meru Access Points and Radio Switches contain radio devices that communicate with
the Meru Controller and form the wireless LAN (WLAN). The Meru Controller, Radio
Switches, and Access Points connect to the site's wired LAN through wired switches.
Wireless clients associate with the Radio Switches and Access Points as they roam

wired LAN, providing the wireless benefits of client mobility, enhanced access, and
dynamic network configuration.
