Business Wire
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) today expanded its WiNG 5
wireless LAN (WLAN) portfolio with single-, dual- and tri-radio
802.11n access points (APs) and a powerful Integrated Services
Controller designed to help distributed organizations effectively
manage thousands of APs from a network operations center (NOC) for
a continental or global deployment. As previously announced, the
WiNG 5 architecture eliminates choke points faced by traditional
hub-and-spoke architectures by leveraging network intelligence and
security at the edge to offer superior performance for mobile
applications such as video and voice.
Ideally suited for retailers, government agencies, hospital
campuses, school districts and enterprises operating multiple
facilities across wide geographies, these WiNG 5 solutions offer a
cost-effective means of supporting the most demanding wireless
applications and large numbers of wireless devices. The result is a
WLAN infrastructure that delivers a consistently better user
experience regardless of location or application; one that network
administrators can easily deploy, manage, troubleshoot and expand
as new mobile services are added.
KEY FACTS
- The NX 9000 Integrated Services
Controller helps large distributed organizations ensure consistent
configuration, management and troubleshooting of their entire WLAN
from a single location or via their private cloud. This powerful
NOC controller can support up to 10,000 Motorola WiNG 5 APs and
manage controller-less deployments at remote sites, helping reduce
the complexity and cost throughout the lifetime of the
network.
- New 802.11n single-, dual- and
tri-radio APs help budget-conscious IT managers deploy the optimal
WLAN infrastructure based on user and cost profiles at various
locations.
- The single-radio, dependent AP 621
offers customers the power of WiNG 5 intelligence at an attractive
price point. When deployed with a wireless controller, this
dual-band AP offers users 802.11n speeds along with direct
forwarding, security, quality of service (QoS) and advanced
spectrum analysis.
- The versatile single-radio, independent
AP 6521 combines the QoS, security and performance benefits of the
WiNG 5 architecture with a design that helps customers lower the
cost of deploying and operating a secure, reliable 802.11n WLAN. It
enables controller-less operations at small to medium sites by
serving as a virtual controller and coordinating the operation of
up to 24 neighboring APs for mobility and QoS services.
- The new AP 6532 is a
performance-focused 802.11n independent AP that provides customers
with higher throughput and dual-radio performance, while leveraging
WiNG 5’s intelligence at the edge to serve as a virtual controller.
This versatile AP leverages Motorola’s hallmark 802.11n
band-unlocked radios, allowing IT to use its second radio to
provide WiFi access or serve as a dedicated wireless sensor that
scans both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands for network assurance and
security.
- The high-capacity AP 7161 provides
cost-effective and secure 802.11n outdoor coverage by offering
dual- and tri-radio options as well as hardware- or software-based,
dedicated wireless security sensing, making it an ideal solution
for industrial parks, campuses, neighborhoods or depot facilities.
Its IP 67 NEMA 4 waterproof enclosure ensures reliable performance
in demanding weather conditions, while WiNG 5 intelligence at the
edge enables virtual controller functionality and helps IT deliver
a consistent user experience and access to applications in all
corners of the organization.
- Customers in North America and Europe,
the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) can purchase the NX 9000
Integrated Services Controller, AP 6532 and AP 7161 through
Motorola Solutions sales and our wide network of partners in the
PartnerEmpower Channel Program in the second quarter of 2011. The
AP 621 and AP 6521 are expected to be available for purchase in
North America and EMEA in the third quarter of 2011. Availability
of these solutions in other regions is expected in the third
quarter of 2011 and will be announced separately.
- Motorola Solutions will be showcasing
the new WiNG 5 solutions in its booth (Booth #2159) at the 2011
Interop IT Conference & Expo in Las Vegas on May 9 – 12,
2011.

Imran Akbar, vice president, Motorola Solutions
“The explosion of wireless services and applications introduced
by retailers, schools, hospitals, government agencies and other
multi-location enterprises is placing challenging demands on their
networks, often causing degradation in the quality of services they
deliver and anxiety among users unable to access them. By giving IT
more choice and flexibility in architecting these networks while
ensuring the highest levels of control, reliability and security,
we are helping our customers focus on their core mission rather
than on the enabling technologies. The NX 9000 delivers
unparalleled scalability and flexibility, while the new APs are
attractively priced and deliver seamless indoor and outdoor WLAN
services. The result is less worry, cost and congestion, and more
trust, intelligence and performance.”
