Motorola: selected by CEWIT for its Wireless Network

New York’s Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT) at Stony Brook University has deployed a Motorola 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN) network, making use of Motorola’s RFS7000 wireless switches and tri-radio AP-7131 802.11n access points (AP). This facility is expected to help CEWIT’s faculty and students to conduct next generation research with advanced wireless facilities.
With the help of its LANPlanner software, Motorola created the Center’s 802.11n WLAN solution enabling accurate design of robust wireless networks. Motorola has recommended a wireless network that combines RFS7000 wireless switches and AP-7131 adaptive APs to deliver gap-free coverage and security.
Motorola’s new solution for CEWIT provides various advantages such as resiliency, Real Time Locationing System (RTLS) for real-time asset tracking, SMART RF management to dynamically address changes in the RF environment, and a wireless firewall for maximized Layer 2 and 3 protections.
“Motorola has a long heritage of innovation and has been a close partner of the Center since it first opened six years ago, working with its researchers on advancing wireless networking technologies and applications to help enterprises realize the power of mobility,” said Sujai Hajela, vice president, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. “Motorola’s WLAN infrastructure will help take the Center’s research to a new level.”
The RFS7000 from Motorola provides a single platform capable of delivering carrier-grade wireless voice and data for 8,000-96,000 users, offering benefits such as security, resiliency, scalability and manageability for the large wireless enterprise/campus/warehouse. The AP-7131 802.11a/b/g/n is a high-performance Adaptive Services Access Point that delivers the throughput, coverage, security and network services required to build an all wireless enterprise.
Motorola has been awarded with additional contracts to expand its WiMAX network in Taichung, Taiwan, by the Far Eastone Telecom (FET). These new contracts follow the previous WiMAX contracts that Motorola signed with FET in 2007. The projects are expected to improve the network performance and provide new management features, preparing FET for the commercial launch of mobile broadband services by the end of 2009.
