Motorola Launches 802.11n Wireless LAN Switch for the All-wireless Enterprise

(Product News, 13 Mar 2008)

Motorola Inc.'s Enterprise Mobility business has launched the Motorola RFS6000, the latest addition to a family of high-performance multi-core processor-based wireless LAN (WLAN) switches, targeted at mid-sized enterprises. The RFS6000 supports an all-wireless enterprise vision, enabling businesses to build an enterprise WLAN that serves the entire organization from workers in corporate headquarters to manufacturing and distribution plants to remote branch offices.

Based on the Wireless Next Generation (Wi-NG) architecture, this network-in-a-box solution is the industry's first wireless switch to include the combination of eight high-power PoE ports for 802.11n; a PCI express slot for wireless WAN backhaul 3G/4G services such as EVDO, HSDPA and WiMAX; and a PCI expansion slot for services such as IP PBX. The RFS6000 supports up to 48 802.11a/b/g/n APs and is capable of providing Wi-Fi coverage for up to 2,000 users. The RFS6000 also eliminates the need to run separate voice and data cables to each user within the enterprise.

The RFS6000 offers enterprise-class security with integrated 802.1x, WPA/WPA2, stateful inspection firewall, VPN, AAA server and NAC support. The wireless switch is also PCI and HIPAA compliance-capable out-of-the-box. The product also supports toll quality voice over WLAN with Quality of Service (QoS) and Wi-Fi Multimedia Extensions and seamless roaming across Layer 3 boundaries both inside and outside for voice and multimedia applications.
