Continued on back
Admission Control, ensure dedicated bandwidth for
voice calls as well as better control over active voice
calls for a variety of VoIP handsets. Layer 3 hyper-fast
secure roaming combines with readiness for external
fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) solutions, enabling
seamless voice services with true mobility across
the enterprise.
Enabling value-added mobility services
The RFS 7000 supports seamless mobile access
to multi-RF networks, enabling locationing and
simplified real-time asset tracking throughout
the network. In addition, the RFS 7000 offers
unparalleled management flexibility — the user
is free to choose between Motorola’s AirDefense
Infrastructure Management solution, a partner
portal or any other enterprise application for
central monitoring and visualization. Secure guest
access, onboard RADIUS services, granular access,
bandwidth control at the client level and automatic
load balancing enable highly optimized, flexible and
secure hotspot deployments managed centrally
through one console.
Adaptive AP for increased network
flexibility — and site survivability
The RFS 7000 simplifies and reduces the cost of
extending mobility to remote and branch offices as
well as telecommuters. Motorola’s Independent Mesh
Access Points (AP 51X1 a/b/g and AP 7131 a/b/g/n) can
be deployed at remote locations yet centrally managed
in the Network Operations Center (NOC) through the
RFS 7000 (single controller or a cluster for scalability).
An IPSec VPN tunnel secures all traffic between the
access points and the wireless controller. Remote
Site Survivability (RSS) mesh access points deliver
secure uninterrupted wireless service — providing
unparalleled resiliency that survives a WAN link outage.
Put your RF on autopilot
The Wi-NG operating system delivers SMART RF
Management, which provides the dynamic RF tuning
required for optimal network performance. This feature
takes self-healing to the next level, dramatically reducing
network monitoring IT costs by enabling the WLAN to
intelligently adapt to the ever-changing RF environment.
The ability to dynamically adjust the power and channels
on any access port automatically eliminates the gaps
in coverage that occur when an AP fails or there is
a change in your environment — for example, the
introduction of an increased volume of liquid or metal —
all without any physical intervention. The elegant feature
protects against under- or over-powering — scenarios
that could reduce performance and network availability.
And adjustments are completely transparent — there is
no impact on voice calls and data sessions in progress
— protecting the quality of service and the user
experience to ensure user productivity.
Maximize benefits — and minimize costs
All the enterprise class services such as security,
voice, performance and resiliency are built into
the Wi-NG operating system — the innovative
and modular operating system (OS) for the RFS
7000. These comprehensive services come at no
additional cost and are packaged together to make
mobility work — even better.
End-to-end support
As an industry leader in mobility, Motorola offers the
experience gained from deploying mobility solutions
all over the globe in many of the world’s largest
