Wireless LAN Solutions

　　Achieve Global Mobility with a Smart Wireless Network

　　Extreme Networks® WLAN Solutions help you achieve the cost and productivity benefits of mobile computing. Our fully 802.11-compliant offerings imbue WLANs with the intelligence to identify devices and users as they connect; flawlessly adjust the level, confidentiality, quality and type of services being delivered; track and locate roaming connections and portable equipment; and monitor for and safeguard against unauthorized machines, activity, sessions and users. The ExtremeXOS® network operating system delivers a "smarter" enterprise network infrastructure; one that unifies wired and wireless segments of the LAN, virtualizes data centers and frees users to roam like never before.

　　Product Families

　　Summit WM3000 Series Controllers

　　Summit® WM3000 series Controllers greatly simplify the task of mobilizing users, without compromising security or performance. Fully 802.11 standards-compliant, Summit WM3000 series Controllers support the most advanced wireless applications—including cross-subnet roaming, high-speed multicast, mobile voice or streaming multimedia. GbE LAN ports, Power over Ethernet, PCI slots, Smart License Sharing and browser-based management provide high-speed throughputs, easy installation and cost-saving scalability. Advanced security license and RTLS locationing options are available separately.

　　Altitude Access Points

　　Designed to support high-bandwidth, high-performance enterprise applications, Altitude Access Points are ideal for delivering low-latency voice and video streams, and bandwidth-greedy imaging files. A wide selection of form factors answers just about any installation challenge—outdoor/indoor environments, surface/hidden mounts, high-/low-interference environments, remote/centralized management—and office sizes ranging from single telecommuters, to small branch campuses, to large headquarters. Weather-proofing kits, internal/external antenna arrays, PoE power injectors and pole-mounting options are available separately.

　　Motorola AirDefense Services Platform

　　Motorola® AirDefense® Services Platform delivers the power of centralized monitoring, real-time locationing services (RTLS), wired and wireless security, and remote administration within a single, browser-based console. This enterprise-class management and security suite can support hundreds of sites, thousands of devices, tens of thousands of users.

　　Mobile Deployments

　　"Unloading" end systems from having to host resident applications lets mobile users travel light, without losing processing power, thanks to the latest generation of ultra-portable, browser-enabled, graphics-friendly tablets and smartphones. Extreme Networks® WLAN Solutions are designed to evolve enterprise networks to the new mobility model by enabling a wireless architecture that is device-agnostic, application-aware, easily scalable and transparently manageable. Our WLAN solutions help resolve traditional network challenges, such as:

　　Installing seamless, mobile connectivity across multiple locations

　　Give mobile users reliable access to network services and data regardless of where they go, including temporary sites, branch offices and remote campuses.

　　Ensuring clear transmissions in mixed RF environments

　　Minimize network lag time and maintain QoS for mobile devices sharing airspace already crowded with wireless signals from 802.11, 3G/4G, microwave, Bluetooth, HIPERLAN, and other RF fields.

　　Delivering voice, video and imaging to hard-to-wire locations

　　Deliver toll-quality voice, real-time video and interactive media to outdoor sites such as college campuses, construction sites and sports stadiums, and solid-walled structures such as elevator shafts, parking garages, brick buildings.

　　Deploying cost-effective, future-proofed infrastructures

　　Maximize capital IT investments with standards-based architectures, device-independent interoperability, backwards-/forwards-compatibility, remote manageability, plug-and-play installation and easy wired-to-wireless integration.

　　Enforcing multi-tiered security that protects data, users and networks

　　Add multiple layers of protection—including authentication, encryption, activity monitoring, intrusion detection/prevention and sensorless scanning—that follow mobile connections across decentralized data centers, and wired and wireless infrastructures.

　　Solution Strengths

　　Scalable Architecture

　　Plan, configure and deploy IT infrastructures to help achieve your business objectives. Extreme Networks scalable WLAN architectures deliver enterprise-class features now, with plenty of options for future expansion. Choose integrated or overlay solutions, thin or adaptive access points, controller-based or centralized administration, role-, device- or location-based identity management, legacy compatibility, single, dual or triple radios, and much more.

　　Multilayered Security

　　Our WLAN solutions provide comprehensive security against network threats, including shared key authentication, RADIUS/LDAP server, hardware encryption engine, hotspot authentication and redirect, MAC address filtering, wireless IDS/IPS, stateful packet inspection, IPSec VPN tunneling, sensorless rogue detection, heuristic and forensic reporting, proactive alerting, browser-based management consoles and more.

　　Secure Guest Access

　　Guest user or hotspot authentication offers secured public access that won’t expose internal networks and servers. Guest user logins are captured and redirected to a captive portal login page that identifies and validates user credentials before granting access.

　　High Availability

　　Resilient, fault-tolerant controller clusters support 1:N redundancy, load-balancing, traffic prioritization, license sharing, AP redirection and automated failover. AP mesh configurations help eliminate traffic hairpins and congestion for high-density user access. Self-Monitoring at Run Time Radio Frequency (SMART RF) senses and adjusts power levels and signal strength for changing transmissions distances, RF interference and hardware failure.

　　Toll-Quality, Wireless Voice

　　Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna arrays and dual-frequency bands (2.4 GHz/5GHz) provide wired-like throughputs and signal clarity. 802.11e Quality of Service (Qos), Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (UAPSD), SIP Call Admission Control and SMART RF optimize delivery of time-sensitive traffic, such as IP PBX telephony and multicast video.

　　Design and Deployment

　　Deploy our WLAN solutions anywhere in the network with easy integration into your existing topology. For pre-installation site surveys, Motorola® LANPlanner (available as an add-on to Motorola AirDefense® Services Platform) helps determine optimal installation and configuration of WLAN hardware, and takes into account existing infrastructures, RF environments, user densities and service types and quality.

　　Monitoring and Management

　　Motorola AirDefense Services Platform works like a virtual IT assistant to remotely monitor, configure and troubleshoot wireless environments across the entire campus, including remote locations. The control console delivers real-time visibility into and control of a wireless infrastructure comprised of hundreds of APs and thousands of disparate client devices.
