Motorola Receives FOSE Best of Show Award for Innovative RFS7000 Wireless LAN Switch
Flagship RFS7000 WLAN Switch Enables All-Wireless Access for Government Agencies
SAN JOSE, Calif., /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Enterprise
Mobility business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced that its
RFS7000 Wireless LAN (WLAN) switch was named Best of Show at the FOSE 2008
conference. The solution was also named the best new product in the
"Networking Equipment" category.
The Government Computer News (GCN) Best of FOSE Awards were open to any
FOSE 2008 exhibiting company that was showcasing a new product targeting
the needs of the public sector. GCN's editors and technology analysts chose
the winners based on four criteria: innovation; usability/applicability to
government; relative performance based on specifications; and value.
Motorola RFS7000 is part of a family of high-performance multi-core
processor-based WLAN switches, targeted at large enterprises and government
entities. The RFS7000 supports an all-wireless vision, enabling
organizations to build a WLAN that serves the needs of all its constituents
from workers in headquarters, to manufacturing and distribution plants to
remote branch offices.
With the industry's leading installed base of more than 125,000 WLAN
switches, Motorola has the market's most thoroughly tested WLAN offering.
The RFS7000 and mesh-enabled adaptive 802.11a/b/g/n access points (APs)
give Motorola the industry's most complete indoor and outdoor WLAN
portfolio to enable end-to-end wireless access for the largest of
government and civilian entities.
Motorola's RFS7000 supports up to 256 802.11a/b/g/n APs and in a
cluster configuration is capable of providing Wi-Fi coverage for up to
96,000 users. The RFS7000 also provides significant cost savings compared
to wired Ethernet networks by completely eliminating the need to run
separate voice and data cables to each user within the organization.
The switch offers a high level of network resilience with mesh,
adaptive technology and clustering capabilities that enable
business-critical wireless connectivity. RFS7000-based wireless networks
can offer end-to-end resilience at a much lower cost than wired
equivalents.
The RFS7000 comes with Motorola's comprehensive RF Management Suite
that provides tools to reduce the cost and complexity associated with
centrally planning, deploying, monitoring and troubleshooting and securing
large and geographically distributed wireless networks.
By incorporating support for multiple RF technologies like Wi-Fi, RFID,
mesh and WiMAX, the RFS7000 enables locationing for real-time tracking of
Wi-Fi devices and active tags to help simplify asset tracking. With this
functionality, government agencies can locate employees for safety or track
high-value and mission-critical assets to increase their utilization.
The RFS7000 meets all the security requirements of cryptographic
modules, as required by FIPS 140-2 and CC EAL4. The RFS7000 also provides
integrated comprehensive security features, including integrated MAC-based
authentication, intrusion detection, AAA/Radius server (WPA2-CCMP
termination on the box) and secure guest access. The stateful packet
inspection firewall offers protection against denial of service attacks
while optimizing network traffic.
"Government-based wireless deployments require high performance,
state-of-the-art security and an architecture that allows them to scale
their network," said Sujai Hajela, vice president and general manager of
Enterprise WLAN, Motorola Enterprise Mobility business. "The RFS7000, along
with adaptive APs, mesh and outdoors wireless offerings, provides
government agencies a complete portfolio to truly realize the vision of a
secure and reliable wireless workplace both inside and outside the four
walls."
Enterprise WLAN is part of Motorola's portfolio of innovative wireless
broadband solutions and services that complement and complete Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. Delivering IP coverage to virtually all spaces both
indoors and outdoors, the portfolio includes fixed broadband, mesh,
broadband over powerline, WiMAX and Enterprise WLAN solutions for private
and public networks.
