1 Introduction
The Motorola RFS6000 Series RF Switch is a high-performance member of Motorola’s Wireless
Switch family. The RFS6000 Series RF Switch provides centralized Wireless LAN (WLAN)
configuration and management by coalescing a network “intelligence” previously spread across
physically distributed access points. By replacing access points with simpler access ports (or “thin”
access points), the RFS6000 Series RF Switch becomes a WLAN’s single point of contact, thus
reducing wireless networking complexity by moving management out of the ceiling and into the
wiring closet. In addition, through the use of patented Virtual AP architecture, the RFS6000 Series
RF Switch lets you create multiple WLANs without changing or adding to the existing wired network
infrastructure.
