SPECIFICATION ShEET
Simple, cost-effective wired and wireless
networking for enterprise branch offices
The WS2000 Wireless Switch is a powerful all-in-one
solution that simplifies and helps reduce the costs
of managing wired and wireless (802.11a/b/g)
networks in enterprise branch offices. The WS2000
provides best in class secure wireless and wired
network services to enable data, voice, video and
mobility in the enterprise. The integrated router,
VPN gateway, firewall, IPS, Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) and more eliminate the cost of purchasing
and the complexity of managing multiple pieces of
equipment. Support for Wi-Fi Multimedia extensions
(WMM U-APSD) and SIP Call Admission Control
enables the WS2000 to provide peak performance
for even the most demanding applications, including
voice and video. Smart Scan enables faster roaming
by performing an opportunistic channel scan
and providing a list of nearby available channels.
This robust feature set delivers enterprise-class
networking functionality — priced for the small to
medium-sized business or enterprise branch office.
End-to-end enterprise-class
security and compliance
The WS2000 offers the end-to-end enterprise-
class security you need to secure your wired and
wireless networks. Integrated wired and wireless
IDS/IPS features detect and stop attacks originating
from wired or wireless hosts — from the local area
network (LAN) and the Internet. Support for all the
latest security protocols keeps your network and
data secure, including: WPA2; an integrated AAA
(authentication, authorization and accounting) server
for authenticating users; rogue access port/point
(AP) detection and containment; Anomaly Analysis;
stateful packet inspection firewall with extension
Application Layer Gateway (ALG) support; URL
filtering; IP routing; IP filtering and more. And
comprehensive VPN support provides a secure
connection between your sites — as well as between
your users and your host computer. The end result
is a robust layered security approach than enables
enterprises to achieve constant compliance with
government regulations, including HIPAA and PCI.
Easy to manage and deploy
The WS2000 offers a level of management simplicity
and flexibility that eliminates the need and cost for
on-site IT personnel to manage the wireless networks.
Fewer technical on-site staff in restaurants, retail
stores, warehouses and healthcare clinics can easily
manage the wired and wireless network through
an intuitive web-based interface and centralized
management and control of access ports. For larger
corporations deploying the WS2000 in branch offices,
secure remote management capabilities (with SSH
and SNMP v3 support) and auto deployment capabilities
