RFS 7000
Wireless Services Controller
High performance Wireless LAN Controller for the
demanding enterprise networks
Designed for large scale, high bandwidth deployments,
the RFS 7000 Wireless Services Controller provides
highly scalable enterprise mobility in large enterprises,
campuses and data centers. Motorola’s landmark
Wireless Next Generation (Wi-NG) operating system
enables a comprehensive set of services, offering
unmatched security, reliability and mobility for high
performance 802.11n networks. Easy to deploy and
manage, the RFS 7000 provides a converged platform
to deliver multimedia applications (data, voice, video),
wireless networking, and value-added mobility
services such as secure guest access and locationing
for multi-RF networks.
Cost-effective centralized management
The RFS 7000 provides the tools you need to simplify
and minimize the costs associated with day-to-day
management of mobility solutions. The Wi-NG operating
system provides unified management of network
hardware, software configuration, and network
policies, complete with built-in process monitors and
troubleshooting tools. A valuable modular software
offering, the AirDefense Infrastructure Management
Solution, provides centralized control over the entire
lifecycle of your Motorola mobility solution — allowing
you to easily design, deploy, monitor and secure your
wireless network.
Raising the bar on enterprise-class performance
The RFS 7000 offers a multicore, multithreaded
Wi-NG operating system, intended for large scale,
high bandwidth enterprise deployments. It easily
handles from 8,000 to 96,000 mobile devices and
256 to 3,000 802.11 dual-radio thin a/b/g access
points or 1,024 adaptive access points (AP 5131 a/b/g
or AP 7131a/b/g/n) per switch/controller. The RFS

adapt to changes in the RF
environment to eliminate
unforeseen gaps in coverage
Enabling a secure and reliable Wireless Enterprise
for campus, data center and large deployments
7000 delivers the investment protection enterprises
require: Motorola’s patent pending clustering
technology provides a 12X capacity increase, and
a build-as-you-grow expansion of your network.
Gap-free security for the Wireless Enterprise
Comprehensive network security features keep
wireless transmissions secure and provide compliance
for HIPAA and PCI. The RFS 7000 provides gap-free
security for the WLAN network, following a tiered
approach to protect and secure data at every point in
the network, wired or wireless. This complete solution
includes a wired/wireless firewall, a built-in Wireless
Intrusion Protection System (IPS), an integrated IPSec
VPN gateway, AAA RADIUS server and secure guest
access with a captive web portal, reducing the need
to purchase and manage additional infrastructure.
Additional security features include MAC-based
authentication, 802.11w to secure management
frames, NAC support, anomaly analysis and more.
Motorola also offers a Common Criteria Evaluation
Assurance Level 4 (CC EAL4) and FIPS 140-2 certified
version of the RFS 7000.
Enabling toll-quality voice for
the Wireless Enterprise
Support for VoWLAN provides cost-effective voice
services throughout the wireless enterprise, enabling
push-to-talk and more for employees inside the four
walls as well as in outside areas such as the yard.
The rich feature set provides granular control over
the many wireless networking functions required to
deliver high performance persistent clear connections
with toll-quality voice. Quality of service (QoS)
ensures superior performance for voice and video
services. WMM Admission Control and 802.11k radio
