Overview

The goal of zero-latency roaming is to allow clients to seamlessly
maintain their communications as they move from one access point to
another. The advanced Moxa Wireless Access Controller, the WAC-2004,
together with Controller-based Turbo Roaming technology, enables
millisecond-level roaming over different IP subnets. The advanced
roaming algorithm along with Mobile IP technology allows wireless clients
to roam between APs in different IP subnets within milliseconds while
upholding stringent security in extremely demanding environments. The
WAC-2004 is rated to operate at temperatures of 0 to 50°C and is rugged
enough for on-site installation in any harsh industrial environment.
