"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."

Benefits

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 spec�trum 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.
