The Symbol WS 5100 simplifies day-to-day operations with unified management of hardware, software configuration, and network policies. Centralized management also enables the automatic distribution of configurations to all Access Ports - eliminating the need and the associated costs to configure and manage each access point. Adding capacity and new functionality is easier and less expensive than an access point-based wireless LAN. The Symbol WS 5100 enables your wireless network to scale easily as your company grows, with a slim 1RU form factor that fits easily into any standard network equipment rack. Each WS 5100 supports up to 48 Access Ports and 32 WLANs.
Features:
Supported APs
Moving at the speed of business
The WS5100 Wireless Switch from Motorola provides enhanced support for enterprise mobility and multimedia applications, as well as increased security and manageability. Based on Motorolas Wi-NG (Wireless Next Generation) architecture, the WS5100 enables seamless campus-wide roaming, more robust failover capabilities, enhanced security, improved mobile client battery life, and increased voice capacity. Robust security features include integrated intrusion detection, an IPSec VPN gateway, and secure guest access provisioning. Automatic configuration and firmware updates, built-in process monitors, troubleshooting tools and a simple user interface make network deployment and management easy.
Robust enterprise mobility
Business needs should dictate network coverage, not the other way around. Thats why the Motorola WS5100 allows you to deploy thin access ports in Layer 3 network designs, and enables campus-wide roaming of mobile clients across Layer 3 boundaries without requiring additional client software or hardware. Used in concert with Motorola handheld devices, the WS5100 further enhances the fast roaming capabilities and extends client battery life. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) with power save extensions also provides additional voice capacity. Supporting mobile workers has never been so easy. With the adaptive AP support, Enterprise Mobility is taken a step further, providing capabilities to extend the enterprise to remote/branch locations with the advantages of centralized manageability.
End-to-end layered security
The WS5100s comprehensive security includes integrated features such as intrusion detection, an IPSec VPN gateway, AAA/Radius server (for WPA/WPA2 termination on the box) and hotspot provisioning capabilities for secure guest access. The stateful packet inspection firewall offers protection against denial of service attacks while optimizing network traffic. With support for the wireless security standards of today and the ability to easily upgrade to tomorrows standards, the WS5100 delivers true value.
Simplified, centralized management
The WS5100 provides unified management of network hardware, software configuration, and network policies, and has built-in process monitors and troubleshooting tools. Motorolas Mobility Services Platform (sold separately) provides both device level management capabilities and centralized management of the WS5100 infrastructure in distributed locations. With active/ active failover and clustering capabilities, as well as mobile unit load balancing, the WS5100 maximizes network uptime while minimizing network latency. Each WS5100 supports up to 48 access ports and 32 WLANs.
Centralized architecture
