The goal of zero-latency-roaming is to create networks that maintain communications seamlessly as clients move from one access point to another. For this, as a part of the AWK-RTG series, Moxa has introduced the WAC-1001 with Controller-based Turbo Roaming technology, a wireless access controller that can achieve less than 50 ms roaming on three channels. This advanced roaming capability securely hands off clients at speeds so high that wireless clients may roam between APs almost seamlessly, with virtually no interruption in connectivity.
