A smarter way to do wireless

While 802.11n opens up new possibilities for wireless applications, it can't solve problems that are inherent to network architecture. Bottlenecks and system outages will still be pitfalls of most networks. That's why we've developed a new approach to network architecture — WiNG 5 Wireless LAN.

Providing built-in intelligence, the WiNG 5 Wireless LAN distributed architecture makes access points smart enough to communicate directly with each other to create more efficient routes for network traffic. Data moves from one access point straight to the next with full QoS and security, so users' applications run quickly and seamlessly. Each element of the network is aware of the others and their status, and they work together to find the best routes through the network which gives you better direct routing of data packets and better network resilience.

While controllers are still used to manage, direct and scale the network, individual transmissions can take place via the shortest path. And harnessing the power of the access points means fewer wireless controllers are needed, so Motorola's WiNG 5 WLAN is able to deliver more of what users need with less infrastructure.

Motorola WiNG 5 networks comprise the WiNG 5 operating system; AirDefense Services Platform, LANPlanner, and 802.11a/b/g/n access points and controllers, including AP7131, AP650, AP6511, AP7181, RFS 4000, RFS6000 and RFS7000. Enabling network intelligence, processing, security and control at the wireless edge, this combination provides fast, secure and reliable networks that pamper the application and assure outstanding quality of experience for agile IT operations.

Key features and benefits include:

More Network Capacity
WiNG 5 WLAN eliminates bottlenecks with intelligent direct routing and delivers greater capacity and higher QoS, security and mobility services with powerful WLAN access points that perform well even during the heaviest usage times. Now, you can trust the network with more demanding and critical applications, knowing it won't let your users down.

More Agility
To be agile, you need flexibility and speed. You can quickly deploy the WiNG 5 WLAN architecture without reconfiguring your wired network VLANs. And access points that are added to the network automatically get over-the-air configuration instructions based on where they are in the network, saving you pre-staging time.

More Ease of Management
The WiNG 5 architecture is built to scale to any size needed. Manage one wireless network across the organization instead of a complicated mix of sites and subnets. Enjoy more peace of mind by being able to set and enforce consistent security and configuration policies across the network.

Less Cost
The distributed intelligence of Motorola's WiNG 5 WLAN can reduce your initial capital expenditure as well as saving you operating expenses downstream.

Using Motorola Devices
As an added benefit, we've designed our WLAN access points to take advantage of special software features on Motorola mobile computing devices that result in faster roaming, more stable connections and longer battery life.
