The policy management capabilities enforce enterprise‐specific security policies and selectively grant access by user, device, network or application.

Control application and resource access. Policies provide granular control over which applications are allowed network access, and when.

Confine bandwidth‐intensive applications to high‐capacity connections. Policies can block bandwidth‐intensive applications from slower networks, or proactively launch applications when a high speed network becomes available.

Assign policies. Enforcement of policies is transparent to the user and you can assign them to an individual, job function, work group or the entire organization.

Manage traffic with Quality of Service (QoS). Using traffic classification and traffic‐shaping policies, you can prioritize mission‐critical applications to ensure their availability over bandwidth‐constrained networks. Read more

Support real‐time applications. In addition to the Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, Mobility XE implements packet loss recovery that improves the performance of real‐time applications that are sensitive to latency and jitter such as VoIP, streaming video, or real‐time conferencing. Read more

Use wireless LANs and hotspots securely and effortlessly. Policies can selectively permit or deny application traffic based on the access point or hotspot provider.
