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 outside. 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, including TSPEC, SIP
Call Admission Control, and 802.11k radio resource
management, ensures dedicated bandwidth for voice
calls as well as better control over active voice calls
for a variety of VoIP handsets. In addition, the fixed
mobile convergence (FMC) ready RFS6000 provides
support for third-party solutions and future services,
including the extension of the desk phone to mobile
devices over the WLAN and WWAN.
Adaptive AP for increased network
flexibility — and site survivability
The RFS6000 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
RFS6000 (single switch or a cluster for scalability).
An IPSec VPN tunnel secures all traffic between the
access points and the wireless switch. 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 architecture 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 thin access point 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
architecture — the innovative and modular operating
system (OS) for the RFS6000. 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
enterprises. Leverage this expertise through Motorola
Enterprise Mobility Services, which provides the
comprehensive support programs you need to deploy
and maintain your RFS6000 at peak performance.
Motorola recommends protecting your investment with
‘Service from the Start Advance Exchange Support’, a
multi-year program that provides the next-business-day
device replacement , technical software support and
software downloads you need to keep your business
running smoothly and productively. This service also
includes ‘Comprehensive Coverage’, which covers
normal wear and tear, as well as internal and external
components damaged through accidental breakage —
significantly reducing your unforeseen repair expenses.
