The Challenge: improving
process to remain competitive
In today’s global economy, high productivity is
critical to remain competitive. Operations need
to run at peak eficiency in order to enhance the
bottom line and continually maintain innovation
to build a competitive advantage.
* The products referred to in this publication were developed and sold by
Colubris Networks Inc., which was acquired by HP ProCurve in 2008.

product line generally.
Now more than ever, manufacturers are
leveraging wireless technology to gather and
distribute information, automate manual
processes, and keep operations lowing
smoothly. Through wireless solutions, you can
enable real-time decision-making across the
value chain and implement business processes
over secure wireless LANs.
HP ProCurve meets the needs of manufacturers
by providing:
Multi-service networking for all applications
and users. HP ProCurve enables your operation
to reap the beneits of mobility by opening up
the wireless network to a diverse set of users,
decision-support, productivity-boosting
applications, and devices. This allows you to
easily segment the network and provide security
privileges to appropriate employees and Internet
access to visitors. These identity-based
privileges allow managers to have access to
business intelligence software and maintenance
engineers to have access to process automation
systems and instruments. In addition, per-
application customization allows for differing
levels of quality of service (QoS) so that real-
time applications like voice and video
surveillance receive the highest priority; supply
chain management applications receive
secondary priority; and Internet gets the lowest
priority.
Manufacturing needs include:
Real-time decision-support information. As a
manufacturer, your employees must have
secure, real-time access to operational
information in order to respond quickly to
market changes including supply chain,
assembly line production, inventory, and
maintenance. Wireless networks have the
capability to support applications, wireless
devices, and sensors with appropriate levels of
prioritization and security.
Facility-wide coverage. In order to deliver real-
time information to employees, data must be
gathered across the entire value chain.
Companies need a wireless network that can
provide reliable coverage inside and outside the
business and can adapt to the unique physical
challenges and hard-to-wire areas of a
manufacturing plant.
Progressive wireless coverage. HP ProCurve
offers indoor and outdoor reliable wireless
coverage in rugged manufacturing environments
to collect important data throughout the plant
and provide real-time access to process,
inventory, plant security, safety, and equipment
maintenance information. Hard-to-wire areas,
such as factory loors and warehouses, beneit
from HP ProCurve’s local mesh capability to
backhaul wireless trafic so you don’t need to
pull expensive cable to attain network access.
Speedy handoffs enable seamless roaming so
your employees and mobile robotic equipment
can maintain connectivity or voice
communication while on the go. The
HP ProCurve solution is extremely durable,
withstanding even the harshest environmental
conditions.
Wirelessly enabled legacy devices. Manufacturing
plants have a plethora of machinery and devices
that require network connectivity. Wireless
vendors should provide cost-effective solutions
that can enable legacy machinery and robots.
The HP ProCurve solution
HP ProCurve’s Intelligent Mobility solution
delivers secure 802.11n-ready wireless
networks designed speciically to optimize
application performance, network scalability, and
investment protection. HP ProCurve provides
integrated wireless access, central
management, and security that can easily be
tailored to meet the particular needs of your
manufacturing operations as you innovate and
improve operational processes.
Wirelessly enable legacy devices to protect
your investments. HP ProCurve transforms
legacy devices, such as test and quality
stations, into wireless-ready equipment so you
can take full advantage of access to real-time
data. HP ProCurve provides unparalleled
investment protection by delivering a solution
that provides cost-effective, nondisruptive
migration to new technologies such as 802.11n.

Features
Beneits to manufacturing organizations
Anywhere, anytime wireless access
• Flexible deployment option for indoor and outdoor locations
with single, dual, and triple radio MultiService Access Points
• Local mesh for network connectivity in areas without Ethernet
• Fast-handoff, cross-campus roaming
• Zero-coniguration service automatically adapts to any
802.11a/b/g/n wireless device
Cost-effectively expand network services to ofices, factory
loors, warehouses, and outdoor facilities, supporting all
wireless devices—including laptops, PDAs, sensors, scanners,
and Wi-Fi–enabled phones. This enables real-time, organization-
wide data collection and business intelligence. Local mesh
minimizes the cost of pulling expensive network cable in hard-to-
wire locations. Rugged enclosures are ideal for harsh
environments.
High-performance, multi-service wireless network
• Identity- and role-based user accounts
• QoS enforced at network edge for end-to-end prioritization
• Source-to-destination trafic forwarding facilitates application
delivery
• 802.11n solution for high-capacity networking needs
Segment trafic by different users and applications, each with
separate QoS, security credentials, or bandwidth management
controls.
Security at network edge for PCI and HIPAA compliance
• Defense-in-depth security including 802.1X authentication,
WPA2 encryption, and wireless intrusion detection and
prevention
• Always-on, nonstop scanning for wireless threats, including
rogue access points and hacker attacks
• Highly accurate threat classiication eliminates false positives
• Access control segregates guest trafic from other applications
Allows only authorized users onto the network and keeps data
private as it travels through the airwaves, thereby providing the
privacy of corporate information. Enables regulatory compliance
and reporting by continuously monitoring the network for
wireless intrusions, such as rogue access points and hacker
attacks.
Cost-effective management
• Central coniguration and updates of all MultiService Access
Points
• Leverages wired network resources, including QoS, VLANs,
Microsoft® Active Directory, RADIUS, and NAC
• Authorized non-IT staff can create guest user accounts
Reduces the time and complexity of managing a wireless
network so you don’t have to manually manage access-point-to-
access-point provisioning and software distribution. Automatic
updates and self-healing access points allow the enterprise to
focus on factory operations—instead of on the network.
Wireless enablement of legacy devices
• Wireless Client Bridge (WCB) provides wireless capability to
legacy serial or Ethernet devices
Cost-effectively transforms/upgrades legacy devices, such as
test stations and quality stations, into wireless-ready equipment.
Real-time voice support
• Fast-handoff roaming
• Upstream/Downstream QoS
• Wireless multimedia (WMM) and WMM Power Save
• Protocol-based QoS for legacy phones
• Voice not impacted by intrusion scanning
Enables Wi-Fi–enabled phones and facilitates cost-effective
communication and collaboration, leading to faster decision-
making and higher-quality products.
802.11n and investment protection
• Scalable, 802.11n-ready MultiService Controllers (MSCs)
manage up to 200 dual-radio 802.11n MultiService Access
Points (MAPs) with full encryption
• MAP-625 802.11n access point easily operates within the
Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af power budget
• Eficient use of LAN bandwidth with direct source-to-
destination trafic forwarding
Allows manufacturers to invest in an HP ProCurve solution today
(with 802.11a/b/g clients) and feel secure that the solution will
easily scale to support 802.11n speeds and capacity when you
are ready to make the migration to the new standard—without
requiring a forklift upgrade.
