Nortel Networks‘ new portfolio of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) products for enterprises and carriers delivers high-bandwidth voice and data services securely and allows end users to have anytime, anywhere access to applications such as e-mail, voice-mail and unified messaging via a PC, handheld device or cell phone.
The new portfolio will complement existing Nortel Networks wireless and IP products and will enable the delivery of secure roaming capabilities that seamlessly span converging public and private networks, as well as hotspot environments.
This latest addition to Nortel Networks’ WLAN products offerings will offer enterprises and carriers the ability to operate a single network that enables secure, seamless mobility, while maximising operational efficiency and reducing capital expenses.
Nortel Networks WLAN portfolio will initially include four core products. Nortel Networks WLAN Security Switch 2250 provides security management services, such as privileged-based access and unauthorised access detection, as well as centralised control to protect and manage mobile communications over WLANs. Additional load balancing capability will provide more efficient traffic distribution and bandwidth management; enabling network managers to maximise network availability.
Nortel Networks WLAN Access Point 2220 is a feature-rich access point to provide the first level of security to wired Ethernet networks. It will also offer superior functionality, such as dual image support for operational and default settings to enable emergency repairs in hotspot deployments to be delayed until convenient. Additional features will include a WLAN hotspot feature set, dual-mode radio signalling and seamless IP roaming across different domains, including dual mode roaming between the 802.11a and b standards.
Nortel Networks WLAN Mobile Voice Client i2050 supports wireless IP telephony calls for pocket PCs.
Nortel Networks WLAN Mobile Adapter 2201 is a Cardbus adapter for mobile computing devices such as laptops that will support both 802.11a and 802.11b standards. These products — combined with Nortel Networks existing portfolio of IP-enabled products, including Contivity, Passport, Shasta, Succession and Univity — will provide complete, seamless and secure mobility for enterprises and carriers. They are expected to be generally available in the second quarter of 2003.
