Featured Products

OmniSwitch 6855

Industrial Grade LAN Switch

The industrial, carrier-grade switches are designed for reliable operation in harsh electrical environments and severe temperatures. This superior, rugged hardware design, coupled with the widely deployed and field-proven Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), makes the OmniSwitch 6855 ideal for industrial and mission-critical applications that require wider operating temperature ranges, more stringent EMC/EMI requirements and an optimized feature set for high security, reliability, performance and easy management.

• Ruggedized hardware design that is IEEE-1613 and IEC 61850 compliant.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on all copper models.
• Redundancy at all levels including power supplies, software and hot-swappable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.
• Wire rate switching and routing at gigabit speeds. Advanced services incorporated in the operating system (OS) include quality of service (QoS), access control lists (ACLs), L2/L3, VLAN stacking, and IPv6 ready.
• Extensive security features.
• Hardware-based virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) support.
• Advanced, out-of-the-box auto configuration.

Controllers

4300 Series

The Alcatel-Lucent 4300 series controllers are stackable, 1U high, fixed-configuration devices that seamlessly integrates into a Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired network without requiring reconfiguration. There are several models with options providing 8 to 24 auto-sensing interfaces and supporting 4 to 48 Access Points. With seamless user mobility, rogue A/P detection and many other key features, these controllers are great for your smaller capacity needs.

Access Points

Once you've developed your WLAN controller strategy, you need high-quality and cost-effective access points to complete your network. All Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs function as "thin" APs and can simultaneously service wireless users and act as wireless monitoring devices, eliminating the need for a separate overlay of RF sensors. When you're running Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN controller/switches, the APs are simple to deploy because encryption and authentication are already integrated. Alacatel OmniAccess APs work with the 6000 series and 4324, 4308 and 4304 contoller/switches.
