Switch-based architecture Delivers unparalleled functionality, performance and simplicity of implementation and management via centralization of intelligence
Overlay network architecture Simplifies network integration tasks by fitting in the distribution layer of an existing and trusted network
Works in conjunction with Symbol’s family of next-generation Much lower costs and more functionality than traditional generation access ports, due to the centralization of processing power in the WS5000
Access Ports—AP100, AP200 and AP300 (ready)
Supports up to 30 Access Ports Enables fast, easy and cost-effective expansion to meet growing company needs
Centralized management of Access Ports Eliminates the need to configure and manage each device, dramatically reducing the time and costs previously associated with wireless LAN management
Supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies with frequency hopping, Offers the broadest and most flexible radio technology support in the industry, with the ability to accommodate new coverage, radio types, channels, and
direct sequence, and OFDM encoding techniques, as well as spectrum; ensures maximum flexibility in wireless network design, enables the use of the right protocols to support specific applications for maximum
802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g (ready), FH, and DS radio operations cost-efficiencies
Upgradeable to support future 802.11 standards Delivers outstanding investment protection—no forklift upgrade required to implement new standards
Ability to upgrade Access Ports Enables very cost-effective implementation of the latest features, ensuring that the wireless LAN can always take advantage of new features and functionality
as they are developed
Per Device, Bandwidth Allocation—Weighted Fair Queuing Enables multiple mobile and wireless applications with quality of service during periods of network congestion
Power Save Protocol Maximizes battery life of devices and ensures continual application performance for users
True virtual LAN support with multiple BSSID support Enables segmentation of the wireless LAN to meet company needs, ensures that broadcast traffic reaches only devices for which it is intended;
protects against broadcast storms; maximizes battery life for mobile devices by eliminating processing of unnecessary messages; and increases security by
eliminating the possibility that broadcast messages could reach unintended recipients
Load Balancing and Pre-emptive Roaming Ensures that devices roam before connection speed degrades; loads are always balanced between Access Ports, ensuring quality of application performance
Automatic Channel Selection Reduces cost of installation by eliminating the need for manual configuration of Access Port channels
Transmit Power Control Minimizes interference between wireless devices in networks where a dense population of Access Ports are required to meet bandwidth needs
Support for Access Control Lists (ACLs), 802.1X, Kerberos and Provides the flexibility to select from a complete security suite of authentication mechanisms to validate user identify and authorize network access
Certificate Based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Support for WEP, WPA-TKIP, KeyGuard™ MCM and WTLS AES Provides the flexibility to select from a complete security suite of encryption mechanisms to ensure privacy of data during transmission
Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
Support for Command Line Interface (CLI), web-based interface Support for multiple management protocols provides flexible anytime anywhere management; supports Symbol’s Enterprise Mobility Manager (SEMM) and
and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Wavelink’s Mobile Manager
Policy-based management
Simplifies management by enabling a pre-defined set of policies to be assigned to a selected group of users, applications and device groups
Extensive management wizards Greatly simplifies management tasks, such as adding new features
Standard 1U form factor chassis Mounts into any standard 19” rack mount for co-location with other network equipment
