  • 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.
