Motorola Adds Smart Adaptability to Enterprise WLAN

(Product News, 22 Feb 2008)

The Enterprise Mobility business of Motorola Inc. has launched its adaptive access point (AP) wireless solution providing secure wireless connectivity and service to mobile users in remote branch offices and support for future 802.11n wireless LANs (WLANs). Motorola's adaptive AP wireless solution also offers enhanced mobility and management to medium and large enterprises, single site and campus WLAN deployments.

Motorola's new WLAN architecture deploys like a thin AP, but offers advanced capabilities usually found in smart APs—such as local termination of 802.11 traffic, encryption/decryption coding on the AP and the ability to bridge traffic locally. In the event that the connection to the Motorola wireless switch is lost, it can still operate, providing remote site survivability to enterprises. Additionally, it can restore the connection to the wireless switch seamlessly without rebooting or disassociating any client devices, which makes the AP extremely robust and IT staff friendly.

Available on the AP-5131, AP-5181, as well as future-generation independent, full-function APs, the adaptive AP wireless solution is designed to minimize the impact on a wired network by reducing the amount of network traffic to and from the AP and the wireless switch. Adaptive APs also support mesh technology, which further simplifies wireless deployments by eliminating the need to run wireless cable to each wireless access point in the enterprise campus.
