SECURE REMOTE OFFICE DEPLOYMENT
Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs can be securely deployed in a remote office, letting network managers easily extend their
corporate 802.1X framework across the Internet.
Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs use the industry standard IPSec protocol to create secure tunnels that connect APs to a central OmniAccess WLAN switch. Tunneling traffic inside IPSec prevents an attacker from intercepting messages between the switch and AP, allows APs to be deployed across an un-trusted network, and enables an AP to be deployed with a network address translation (NAT) device between the AP and switch.
ADVANCED WIRELESS CAPABILITIES
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN system supports a host of advanced functionality to enable latency-sensitive applications.
For example, Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs work in conjunction with the WLAN switches to support voice- aware scanning. When a voice session is detected, this feature ensures that the voice call is given priority service.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN system offers many other unique capabilities for optimizing the wireless environment such as setting user thresholds per AP, defining and enforcing bandwidth contracts per user or user group, and the ability to broadcast up to eight discrete SSIDs per radio. Granular controls over the APs let administrators enable AP and client DoS protection, set channel scan times and frequencies and control beacon periods, RTS thresholds, SSID availability, DTIM periods, and maximum client levels.
