WS 5100 Wireless Switch

High Performance Overlay Wireless Switch

The Wireless Switch WS 5100 from Symbol Technologies delivers security and scalability, manageability, availability, reliability and total cost of ownership (TCO) savings.

End-to-End Layered Security

Our comprehensive security mechanisms including access-control, authentication, and encryption can be deployed at various locations in the enterprise network: the perimeter, the network, the servers, and client devices. With support for the wireless security standards of today and the ability to easily upgrade to tomorrow's standards, the WS 5100 is the wireless gatekeeper for your enterprise network.

Centralized Management

The WS 5100 provides unified management of hardware, software configuration, and network policies. Centralized management also enables the automatic configuration of all Access Ports eliminating the need and the associated costs to configure and manage each access point.

Scales and Grows Easily

Adding capacity and new functionality is easier and less expensive than an access point-based wireless LAN. The slim 1RU form factor fits easily into any standard network equipment rack. Each WS 5100 supports up to 48 Access Ports and 32 WLANs.

Reliability

The low risk and high business value of multi-layer network designs is extended to wireless networks with the flexible overlay architecture of Symbol's Wireless Switch WS 5100. The WS 5100 is designed to be integrated with the reliable approach of multi-layer networking to enable predictable and high performance wireless networks, while preserving network integrity. In addition, the WS 5100 can be implemented using the standard networking best practices of modularity.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

The WS 5100 removes the overhead and complexity of first generation access point-based wireless LANs. Extensive functionality, expandability, and centralized management eliminate time and management costs associated with access point-based solutions, providing a lower total cost of ownership and outstanding investment protection. Symbol Enterprise Mobility Services offers comprehensive support and technical expertise to design, deploy and maintain successful mobility solutions.
