Multi-Service Wireless Switch

Overview

Rapid adoption of Wireless LAN (WLAN) is driving the movement

toward a new architecture in the enterprise. No longer a special-case

solution, WLANs have become a standard business tools for today's

corporation. On-going needs to integrate the WLAN solution with

existing wired infrastructure place new requirements on

implementation of modern enterprise networks.

AEC 1024 — it is a high performance 24-port Wireless Switch, and is

specifically designed to resolve this unique challenges faced by IT

professionals. AEC 1024 is the most comprehensive solution for

wired and wireless integration in the current market. It provides

unprecedented level of integration of features including multi-level

network services such as NAT, QoS, firewall and VLAN, secured

wireless access such as 802.11i, IPSEC, 8021.X EAP authentication

and RADIUS server, complete radio control such as fast roaming,

optimal power control and automatic frequency selection, access

points (AP) management such as rogue AP management, device

inventory database, automatic failover and sophisticated network

management.

Due to its versatile architecture and scalable design, AEC 1024 can be

applied to a wide range of applications, either as the main access

gateway for a small organization that requires wireless extension, or

as the edge switches for a large enterprise network migrating to

seamless wired and wireless integration.

As a gateway for small business, multiple-tenant building, hotel and

hot spot, AEC 1024 supports not only all key functions for wide area

network (WAN) access but also comes with full featured wireless

management functions. The combination of wireless and WAN

access functionalities eliminates the needs of additional expensive

routers and other costly network appliances. To accommodate the

future growth of business and services, multiple units of AEC 1024 can

be stacked up through unified management interface to increase the

number of supported clients and access points. IPSEC VPN in

AEC 1024 allows business to connect remote offices through internet

securely. AEC 1024 is the solution that satisfies the wired and wireless

network needs of a small business throughout its growth cycle.
