ArubaOS Software Modules

To extend the base capabilities of ArubaOS, a number of licensed software modules unlock additional functionality, including:

Voice services
Delivers standards-based voice over Wi-Fi plus voice control and management innovations enabled by Aruba's application-aware architecture. VSM supports large-scale voice deployments and provides a foundation for fixed mobile convergence (FMC).
