• What is a Unified Wireless Switch?
• 3Com Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE Switch 24
• Unified Switch Access Point Strategy
• Unified Switch Solutions
• Summary
• Key Product Ordering Information

WHAT IS A UNIFIED WIRELESS SWITCH?

• Unified Switching is a new technology to many
  people
• As with most technologies, successive product
  evolutions always integrate complementary
  functionality into a single device
• Example Todays cell phones include the
  functionality of what were at one time,
  stand-alone devices
• A mobile GSM/CDMA phone
• Digital Camera
• MP3 Player
• Daytimer, Phonebook and Calendar
• Pager (text message)
• Email etc.
• A Unified Switch is a result of the same
  technological evolution

4
WHAT IS A UNIFIED WIRELESS SWITCH?

• Combines all the elements of a L2 managed switch
• Adds the following functionality
• Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
• Wireless controller/appliance
• Full-power 802.3af PoE on every port
• RF Rogue detection and Mitigation
• Wired and wireless user security
• Support for up to 24 Access Points

WHY WOULD YOU WANT A UNIFIED WIRELESS SWITCH?

• Your business has between 10 and 250 employees
• Youve outgrown your 10/100 unmanaged switch or,
• You have no real infrastructure or,
• You have limited IT staff or knowledge to fully
  manage both a wired and wireless network or,
• You want to add wireless but are worried about
  security or,
• You want to add Voice over IP on your LAN but are
  worried about performance and reliability or,
• You know that youll be adding some, or all of
  these networking technologies and want to be
  ready when you do!

You need to reduce TCO by centralizing
administration of all network components and
parameters
6
WHAT IS A WIRELESS CONTROLLER ?

• A Wireless Controller is ideal for sites with
  more than 3 APs
• A Wireless Controller takes the intelligence out
  of the AP and moves it to a centralized device
• A Wireless Controller Provides
• Centralized access point management and
  configuration
• Automated radio frequency and power level control
• Centralized wireless security rules and policies
• SSIDs, Encryption keys (WPA2, WEP)
• Automatic load balancing of wireless users
  between APs
• Rogue AP detection and mitigation
• Simplified roaming and hand-off of wireless users
  between APs

A Wireless Controller makes the WLAN scalable
-Easy to add new APs and bandwidth on demand
