Alcatel OmniAccess Series -FIPS certified wireless LAN

"Alcatel-Lucent's next generation WLAN solution is a highly scalable, comprehensive set of mobile LAN products that automatically identify and authenticate users as they connect to the network. Once user identity is established, it enables "follow-me" privileges, security and services - something no other enterprise system provides today. This sophisticated technology gives corporations the power to manage and secure people rather than ports."

Scalability - Supports up to 512 APs from one appliance

Policy-based Network Access Control - A core feature of the OmniAccess WLAN is the ability to separate users into individual roles, and then apply differentiated access and authorization controls to those roles based on policy.

Adaptive Radio Management - Network managers can deploy a wireless network as effortlessly as a wired network by removing the need to manually adjust devices.

Rogue Access Point detection - All channels of the RF spectrum are constantly scanned, capturing native 802.11 traffic and learning about all of the wireless APs.

Wireless Intrusion Protection - The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess wireless intrusion detection capabilities eliminate the need for a separate system of RF sensors and RF security

Availability - The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN system enables support for business critical applications that require high availability by providing a number of features

Seamless User Mobility - Users move freely without the need to restart sessions or re-authenticate each time and supports voice over WLAN (VoWLAN).

Centralized Management - The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN system offers clustering capabilities that allow an OmniAccess WLAN switch to configure and manage up to 32 other WLAN switches.

OmniAccess Next Generation WLAN Family Brochure
Alcatel's OmniAccess WLAN systems incorporates sophisticated RF management capabilities that are used for traditional ceiling-based wireless deployments as well as structured, high density, high performance, wireless deployments. It demonstrates how WLAN solutions support up to 256 access points on a single WLAN switch, centralized encryption for 802.11i, advanced intrusion detection and protection capabilities, and user-aware stateful firewalls. Clearly stating they are the only systems that comprehensively secure enterprise WLANs.

OmniAccess WLAN 4308
The Alcatel OmniAccess 4308 (OAW-4308) is a new approach to building, securing, and managing 802.11 networks for enterprises implementing business-critical applications over wireless. For branch office deployments, the OAW-4308 cost effectively delivers high-performance wireless LANs with dynamic radio frequency (RF) management and advanced services such as application-aware security, wireless intrusion protection, seamless user mobility, location tracking, and bandwidth management. The Alcatel OAW-4308 is a stackable, 1U high, fixed-configuration device that seamlessly integrates into any layer-2/layer-3 wired network without requiring the reconfiguration of the network - logically or physically. The Alcatel OAW-4308 provides eight 10/100 Mbps power over Ethernet (802.3af) ports for connecting to access points, layer-2 switches, servers, or computers. In addition, one Gigabit Ethernet uplink (1000BaseT or 1000BaseSX) allows the OAW-4308 to be connected to the wired network. The Alcatel OAW-4308 supports up to 16 access points (APs), 1 Gbps of full-duplex (clear text) traffic, and 200 Mbps of encrypted throughput.

OmniAccess WLAN 4324
The Alcatel OmniAccess 4324 (OAW-4324) is a new approach to building, securing, and managing 802.11 networks for enterprises implementing business-critical applications over wireless networks. For regional headquarters or dense building deployments, the OAW-4324 delivers high-performance wireless LANs with dynamic radio frequency (RF) management and advanced services such as applicationaware security, wireless intrusion protection, seamless user mobility, location tracking and bandwidth management. The Alcatel OAW-4324 is a stackable, 1U high, fixed-configuration device that seamlessly integrates into any layer-2/layer-3 wired network without requiring the reconfiguration of the network - logically or physically. The Alcatel OAW-4324 provides 24 10/100 Mbps power over Ethernet (802.3af) ports for connecting to access points, layer-2 switches, servers, or computers. In addition, two Gigabit Ethernet uplinks allow the OAW-4324 to be connected to the wired network. The Alcatel OAW-4324 supports up to 48 access points (APs), 2 Gbps of full-duplex (clear text) traffic, and 400 Mbps of encrypted throughput.

OmniAccess WLAN 6000
The Alcatel OmniAccess 6000 (OAW-6000) is a new approach to scaling, securing, and managing 802.11 networks for enterprises implementing business-critical applications over wireless networks. For headquarters or campuses, the OAW-6000 delivers high-performance wireless LAN with dynamic radio frequency (RF)management and advanced services such as application-aware security,wireless intrusion protection, seamless user mobility, location tracking and bandwidth management.

OmniAccess WLAN Access Points
The Alcatel OmniAccess family of next generation, multi-purpose access points (APs) is designed to meet the needs of any enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) deployment. The Alcatel OmniAccess APs include single and dual-radio 802.11a/b/g models with a variety of fixed and detachable antenna options. All Alcatel OmniAccess APs function as "thin" APs. Upper layer media access control (MAC) processing functions such as encryption and authentication are integrated into Alcatel OmniAccess WLAN switches, making Alcatel OmniAccess APs cost-effective and simple to deploy and manage. Alcatel OmniAccess APs can simultaneously service wireless users and act as wireless monitoring devices. This eliminates the need for a separate overlay of RF sensors to troubleshoot and optimize the wireless environment.
