Benefits

Apple features

Apple and Cisco have partnered to create an optimal mobile experience for iOS

devices on corporate networks based on Cisco technologies. Using new features in

Apple iOS, in combination with the latest software and hardware from Cisco,

businesses can now more effectively use their network infrastructure to deliver an

enhanced user experience across all business applications.

At the center of the collaboration is a unique handshake between the Cisco WLAN and

Apple devices. This handshake enables the Cisco WLAN to provide an optimal Wi-Fi

roaming experience to Apple devices. Additionally, the Cisco WLAN trusts Apple

devices and gives priority treatment for business-critical applications specified by the

Apple device. This feature is also known as Fast Lane.
