In networks with basic roaming, this time is between 2 and 5 seconds, which in applications such as a video conference will imply a bad experience if we are moving around.
Fast Roaming is a highly demanded feature in wireless environments where receiving data on the move without interruption or loss is critical; factories with robots that transport pallets, warehouses with tablet or PDA readers, functions that require streaming and/or VoIP services on the move and, of course, Smart Cities and IoT.
To enable Fast Roaming, you need to unify the management of access points on the free enterprise network management platform for switching and wireless, D-Link Nuclias Connect. It works with both the Nuclias Connect software (DNC-100) and the wireless controller that comes with it installed (DNH-100).
In parallel, D-Link has added an article to its technical blog explaining in a simple and visual way what Fast Roaming is (and its differences from WiFi Mesh), the advantages it offers, and a step-by-step guide for configuring it in D-Link Nuclias Connect. A real-world demonstration video of a Fast Roaming test has also been published.

The D-Link Nuclias Connect range of access points includes models with Wi-Fi 6 support, for indoor and outdoor use, as well as for industrial-grade applications.
*Support for IEEE 802.11 k/v/r protocols depending on the model, details are in the digital catalog, page 23.
