  3. WLAN Architecture Evolution

  4. WLAN Architecture EvolutionLead By Motorola FIRST WIRELESS LANS MOBILE DATA ACCESS NETWORK OF CONVENIENCE COST EFFICIENT 802.11a/b/g WLAN FILLED NEED FOR LARGER SCALE AFFORDABLE NETWORKS BETTER QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE MORE ROBUST, AFFORDABLE WAY TO HANDLE HIGHER NETWORK DEMAND NO BOTTLENECKS SCALABLE 802.11n VoIP AND VIDEO RELIABILITY SECURITY AT THE EDGE LIMITED 11n SCALABILITY BOTTLENECK AT WIRELESS CONTROLLER LIMITED SECURITY/QoSAT THE EDGE LIMITED MOBILITY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE LIMITED SECURITY

  5. The WiNG5.x WLAN Benefits

  6. Simplified Deployments WLAN Controller Small Branch Office DSL Indoor Mesh WAN Medium Branch Office RFS4000 T1 or 3G Headquarters 2 3 1 1 3 2 Work with existing VLANs, no need to redesign the network Optimal packet forwarding over Layer 2, Layer 3 or Mesh links Fast site-to-site direct links

  7. Security at the Edge of the Network • Security at the AP edge • Stateful, roaming-aware, multi-layer firewall in APs allows full inspection without performance loss • Wireless-Wireless protection • Protect wireless clients from other wireless clients. Drop traffic on wireless interface w/o clogging LANWLAN

  8. Massive Scalability • Harness the processing power of the Access Points • 8X times scalability • 10X improvement for small packets – benefits VOIP performance • Redesigned network stack increases performance for small frames

  9. Superior Reliability • SMART RF • Automatic real-time RF Management • Power and channel selection • Interference mitigation • Neighbour recovery • Wireless Client Coverage Hole Recovery • Supports multiple sites • Site Survivability and Distributed Services • Site-Survivable APs can work w/o the controller while still offering all the services (RADIUS, Firewall, DHCP, roaming, etc) • On remote sites one of the APs will be elected to provide centralized functions such as SMART RF, etc for other APs on site • Do not confuse with AP Virtual Controller

  10. Introducing the NX9000 Controller

  11. Centralized Mgmt - Distributed Deployment Complete visibility of the entire distributed deployment – One point of configuration, multiple points of control for 10,000 Access Points - across the globe Simple Installation and Remote Debugging Zero touch installation- rule based AP adoption from all locations with a centralized point for gather remote troubleshooting data Security at the edge of the Network Each packet is inspected at Layer 2, via a Stateful firewall, IP SEC VPN, 24*7 WIPS with built-in Sensors – better control of your broadcast domain Introducing NX 9000 Enterprise NOC Controller Wi-NG v5 • Best Suited for: • Distributed AP deployments > 1024 with each site having 24 APs or less • Private MPLS networks as there is no VPN currently on the Adaptive APs • Local VLANs on site, where the AP is doing all the packet switching Multi-level Resiliency with Spectrum Management Network survivability through Access Point failure, Wired Switch Failure, WAN link failure as well as Wireless Switch failure, as well as SMART RF Management for the remote deployment

  15. Access Point Portfolio and Positioning

  16. End-to-end 11n AP Portfolio Premium Services AP 7100 series 3x3 MIMO Industrial Grade Highest Transmit Power in .11n AP market Network-in-a-box with L3 Services 3G WAN Services AP 7181: Dual radio MWAN AP 7161 : Dual and Tri-radio AP 7131 : 1/2/3 radio models Site Survivable AP 6500 series Dual & Single Radio Adaptive AP 2x3 (Dual) 2x2 (Single) MIMO Options Adaptive and Autonomous Deployments Hospitality, Hotspot, Over-the-WAN AP 6532: Dual radio AP 6521: Single radio AP 6511: Single radio Dependent AP 600 series Single & Dual Dependent AP Entry level .11n at abg price points Concurrent Access/Sensor on Dual Radio 2x3 & 2x2 MIMO options AP 650: Single & Dual radio models AP 621: Single radio Multi-function radios with unmatched RF performance Concurrent client access & 24x7 sensor on all dual & tri-radio models Common WiNG SW across the AP’s Limited Lifetime Warranty for AP 7131, AP 650 starting Nov 1 2010

  17. AP Positioning • AP 6532/650 – mainstream AP • Performance of ~400Mbps • Full software services (local bridging, DHCP, Firewall, RADIUS, routing/NAT, etc) • Independent – AP6532 (Over the WAN 1-12 cells from a List Price perspective is economical) • Dependent version – AP650 (performance local/campus controller-based) • AP6521/621 – Economy Class • Single Radio with limited throughput (150Mbps) • HW Assisted Spectrum Analysis, Overlay Sensor Deployment with Next Gen Spectrum Analysis • Independent AP6521: HotSpot, Over the WAN when concurrent AD/client features are not important • DependentAP621: Warehouse, DC, etc • AP 7131 – Premium Class • Better radios: MIMO, Transmit power, radio chains • Better range or higher throughput at the same range • 3G Backhaul or Dedicated Sensor radio • Deployment: Over the WAN 1-2 cells, Tri-Radio Services AP in dual-radio deployment • No Dependent version • RFS4011 - Controller network-in-a-box for SMB and Small Branch Offices for Wireless w/ Switch • Two radios onboard • AP6511 – Single Radio for Hospitality or Office • Wall Plate only – no Ceiling Mount capability • Virtual Controller – controls up to 24 other AP5611 • Adopted by WiNG5.1 Controllers – use to close coverage holes cheaply

  18. Legacy AP SUPPORT (WiNG 5.2+) • AP300 • To continue supporting large customer base • Single/Dual Radio 802.11b/g+a • Radios are band-locked • 1x 10/100 Ethernet Port • Controller Dependent • Unable to provide edge intelligence • Works as in WiNG4 • AP-5131/5181 – NOT SUPPORTED

  19. Access Points Clarifying Terminologies

  20. Access Points:Clarifying Terminologies • What is Dependent vs. Independent AP (3-digit AP versus 4-digit AP) • Dependent operates only when adopted by a controller • Independent AP has separate CLI and Configuration GUI can run with or without controller • What is Adaptive • Operates both as Independent and in Controller-Managed scenarios • All our Independent AP’s are Adaptive • What is Site Survivability • Absence of a Controller-AP heartbeat will keep the AP up and running • Available with Adaptive AP => Independent • Which APs have Services – Security, Networking, SMART-RF, Local Bridging • Local Bridging - AP can bridge and route traffic locally without the traffic passing through a Controller • Adaptive APs in WiNG 4.x • All Access Points in WiNG 5 (AP300 is an exception) • Doesn’t change definition of Adaptive and Dependent Access Points • Summary • Independent = works w/o controller, includes Adaptive, Site-Survivable, Virtual Controller, Services • Dependent = needs controller to work, includes Services

  24. AP Modes in WiNG5

  25. Independent AP Modes WiNG 5.2+ • Controller Managed • Adopted and managed by controller (Real or Virtual) • Have local services and site survivability • Standalone • Just a standalone fat AP • No adoption, no collaboration, no distributed architecture • Virtual Controller • AP can adopt up to 24 other APs of the same type and act as a controller • Good for small single-site deployments • Supports most of WiNG5 feature set with some limitations

  26. Independent AP Modes: Positioning the right deployment 1 Standalone: Isolated sites with few AP’s; no need for centralized configuration (Mom and Pop shops) 2 Virtual Controller: Isolated sites with <= 24 AP’s; centralized config management within site 3 Controller: Sites with >24 AP’s; multi-site deployments with central management requirement Standalone Virtual Controller Controller Based

  27. Independent AP Modes: Standalone • WiNG 5.2 brings a web GUI to Independent APs, making standalone deployment easy. • During initial setup wizard, simply select Standalone • When in Standalone mode, AP will not adopt to a controller.

  28. MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Independent AP MODES: Controller Managed • Idenpendent AP can be adopted by a real or Virtual Controller • Multiple modes of adoption are supported • Automatic (AKA Plug’n’Play, Out Of The Box, Zero Touch) • Manual (on Independent APs, since they have their own CLI/GUI in WiNG5.2+) • Pre-Staging scenarios are supported • More in the AP Adoption Module

  29. Independent AP MODES: VIRTUAL CONTROLLER • Independent AP’s can now function as a controller for a single site • Adopts up to 24 access points of same model • UI and initial configuration very similar to WiNG5 controller based design • Some more advanced features are not supported • Virtual Controller is responsible for firmware updates, configuration management, statistics collection and troubleshooting • Supported only on AP6511, AP7131 and AP6532 • More in the Virtual Controller Module

  30. AP Modes: Managed Adoption Capacities
