Motorola Wireless Solutions Win GCN Best of FOSE Awards
Industry's first tri-radio-capable 802.11n AP-7131 access point and TEAM VoWLAN solution extend the power of enterprise mobility to government professionals
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced that two of its innovative wireless solutions were named by Government Computer News (GCN) as Best of FOSE winners at the FOSE 2009 conference and expo. The industry's first tri-radio-capable 802.11n AP-7131 access point (AP) was honored in the "Networking Equipment" category, while the innovative Total Enterprise Access and Mobility voice-over-wireless LAN (TEAM VoWLAN) solution received the award in the "Other" category.
"FOSE is the premier showcase for the latest in technology for the U.S. government, the world's largest purchaser of IT products," said Wyatt Kash, editor-in-chief, Government Computer News. "This year's winners represent the most innovative - and the most effective - applications for meeting the government's changing needs. With so many quality submissions, it was a challenge to narrow our selection down to the 2009 GCN Best of FOSE winners. We congratulate the winners for their leadership and commitment to excellence in public sector IT."
The GCN Best of FOSE Awards were open to any FOSE 2009 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.
"We are pleased that Motorola's solutions are being honored at this year's FOSE 2009 conference and expo. Motorola has a rich tradition of providing government partners with industry-leading solutions that help them better serve and protect their communities," said Gene Delaney, president, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. "Today, it is more important than ever for government professionals to have secure and reliable access to voice and data applications, when and where they need them."
Motorola's AP-7131 offers a unique tri-radio capability that integrates three 802.11n radios to simultaneously support high-speed client access, mesh backhaul and dedicated dual-band intrusion protection. Using an expansion slot, the third radio can be field upgraded to enable next-generation 3G/4G technologies like WiMAX for primary or redundant WAN connectivity. It can be used as a stand-alone AP within small to medium organizations. In adaptive mode, the AP-7131 combines the benefits of central management and site-survivability to help reduce the complexity of deployments in remote offices. In a campus WLAN switch environment using the thin AP mode, the AP-7131 can be centrally managed for large-scale deployments. This unique multi-mode operation is supported by the same firmware version to greatly simplify the task of building a large-scale, multi-site wireless network.
The AP-7131 provides 24/7 intrusion protection, which can significantly lower the cost of building a secure wireless network. Traditional solutions time-slice the radio for both access and intrusion protection, limiting 802.11n performance and security capabilities. Motorola's new AP-7131 with the third radio capability eliminates the need for time-slicing or the need for a dedicated sensor AP for security thus reducing the cost of secure and manageable deployments. Featuring a fully Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS2)-compliant chipset, a fast MIPS network processor with hardware-accelerated encryption and dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the AP-7131 delivers full 600 Mbps connection speeds, while simultaneously providing the level of security required by government agencies.
With the steady growth in the adoption of wireless LAN networks, government agencies are increasingly focused on VoWLAN solutions to drive workforce mobility, help increase productivity and reduce operating costs. Motorola's TEAM VoWLAN solution is designed to provide mobile workers with instant mobile access to voice and data services typically tethered to the desk, helping to improve responsiveness, collaboration and productivity.
Motorola's TEAM solution takes voice-over-wireless LAN beyond voice with mobile email, calendar/contact sync, text messaging, Internet/intranet access, and the flexibility of Windows Mobile(R) 6.1 for line of business applications. In addition to offering toll-quality telephony services integrated with the PBX and enterprise-grade push-to-talk (PTT), this innovative solution can also interoperate with existing two-way radio systems.
Following best practices in networking, the TEAM VoWLAN solution can be easily integrated into existing WLAN and PBX infrastructure, creating a single common platform for the delivery of integrated voice and data services. The solution includes the Wireless Services Manager (WSM) appliance, the Network Services Manager (NSM), and the industry's first Windows Mobile VoWLAN smartphones. The WSM provides PTT services, text messaging, PBX interoperability, as well as enhancements to battery life, mobility and security. The NSM provides centralized provisioning and management. The forward-looking design of this solution can scale from a handful to up to 4,500 users, and can easily incorporate future capabilities, including dual-mode (VoWLAN and cellular) and the extension of services to other voice-capable Motorola devices, including mobile computers and bar code scanners.
