Connects Users securely to wireless LANs, enabling Users to roam the Network
Because wireless clients are mobile, 3Com uses innovative Identity-Based Networking to deliver network services. This approach is based on user identity instead of ports or devices. Multiple controllers and switches, grouped into a Mobility Domain share user databases to support mobility and security across the entire network infrastructure, including remote offices.
Through this WLAN-wide information exchange, the 3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System enforces consistent network-wide access and security policies as users roam the network.
No longer connection-dependent, user location, security and access details are quickly transferred between switches and/or controllers. This enables fast roaming with seamless security and session integrity without the need for re-authentication or IT intervention. Fast roaming with session integrity also enables interoperability with voice-over-Wi-Fi phones.
Provides comprehensive Managed Access Point (MAP) control for airspace optimisation and enhanced security
Control MAP configuration and optimise radio-frequency (RF) coverage and performance using 3Com wireless controllers and switches, which are all managed from the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager, and can be accessed anywhere on the network.
With a few keystrokes, parameters can be changed for multiple MAPs, eliminating the time-consuming task of individually configuring each device, and providing simple setup. The result simplifies initial deployment as well as easing long-term management.
Strengthens wireless security implementations and management, from network to user
The wireless switching solution builds on 3Com's already strong wireless security features to fortify network protection. 3Com's existing foundation of wireless security includes AES, TKIP and WEP encryption combined with WPA and 802.1X authentication.
The 3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System significantly enhances wireless security with centralised security management. The exchange of user-based information within the Mobility Domain adds an entirely new level of control for user and group access to network resources. Once more, sharing user-specific security policies between WLAN controllers and switches results in a consistent enforcement of user and group attributes across the WLAN as the user roams.
