High performance Wireless LAN Switch/Controller
for the demanding enterprise networks
Designed for large scale, high bandwidth deployments,
the RFS7000 Wireless LAN (WLAN) Switch/controller
provides highly scalable enterprise mobility in large
enterprises, campuses and data centers. Motorola’s
landmark Wireless Next Generation (Wi-NG) operating
system enables a comprehensive set of services,
offering unmatched security, reliability and mobility for
high performance 802.11n networks. Easy to deploy
and manage, the RFS7000 provides a converged
platform to deliver multimedia applications (data, voice,
video), wireless networking, and value-added mobility
services such as secure guest access and locationing
for multi-RF networks.
Cost-effective centralized management
The RFS7000 provides the tools you need to simplify
and minimize the costs associated with day-to-day
management of mobility solutions. The Wi-NG operating
system provides unified management of network
hardware, software configuration, and network
policies, complete with built-in process monitors and
troubleshooting tools. A valuable modular software
offering, the RF Management Suite, provides centralized
control over the entire lifecycle of your Motorola mobility
solution — allowing you to easily design, deploy, monitor
and secure your wireless network.
Raising the bar on enterprise-class performance
The RFS7000 offers a multicore, multithreaded WiNG operating system, intended for large scale, high
bandwidth enterprise deployments. It easily handles
from 8,000 to 96,000 mobile devices and 256 to
3,000 802.11 dual-radio thin a/b/g access points
or 1,024 adaptive access points (AP-5131 a/b/g or
AP-7131a/b/g/n) per switch/controller. The RFS7000
delivers the investment protection enterprises
require: Motorola’s patent pending clustering
technology provides a 12X capacity increase, and
a build-as-you-grow expansion of your network.
Gap-free security for the Wireless Enterprise
Comprehensive network security features keep
wireless transmissions secure and provide compliance
for HIPAA and PCI. The RFS7000 provides gap-free
security for the WLAN network, following a tiered
approach to protect and secure data at every point in
the network, wired or wireless. This complete solution
includes a wired/wireless firewall, a built-in Wireless
Intrusion Protection System (IPS), an integrated IPSec
VPN gateway, AAA RADIUS server and secure guest
access with a captive web portal, reducing the need
to purchase and manage additional infrastructure.
Additional security features include MAC-based
authentication, 802.11w to secure management
frames, NAC support, anomaly analysis and more.
Motorola also offers a Common Criteria Evaluation
Assurance Level 4 (CC EAL4) and FIPS 140-2 certified
version of the RFS7000.
Enabling toll-quality voice for
the Wireless Enterprise
Support for VoWLAN provides cost-effective voice
services throughout the wireless enterprise, enabling
push-to-talk and more for employees inside the four
walls as well as in outside areas such as the yard.
The rich feature set provides granular control over
the many wireless networking functions required to
deliver high performance persistent clear connections
with toll-quality voice. Quality of service (QoS)
ensures superior performance for voice and video
services. WMM Admission Control and 802.11k radio
resource management, including TSPEC and SIP Call
Admission Control, ensure dedicated bandwidth for

RFS7000 network architecture
The RFS7000 offers the comprehensive functionality necessary to extend wireless voice and data access
inside the largest of enterprises — as well as to remote locations inside and outside the enterprise
campus walls.
3. voice calls as well as better control over active voice
calls for a variety of VoIP handsets. Layer 3 hyper-fast
secure roaming combines with readiness for external
fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) solutions, enabling
seamless voice services with true mobility across
the enterprise.
Enabling value-added mobility services
The RFS7000 supports seamless mobile access
to multi-RF networks, enabling locationing and
simplified real-time asset tracking throughout
the network. In addition, the RFS7000 offers
unparalleled management flexibility — the user is
free to choose between Motorola’s RF Management
System, a partner portal or any other enterprise
application for central monitoring and visualization.
Secure guest access, onboard RADIUS services,
granular access, bandwidth control at the client
level and automatic load balancing enable highly
optimized, flexible and secure hotspot deployments
managed centrally through one console.
Adaptive AP for increased network
flexibility — and site survivability
The RFS7000 simplifies and reduces the cost of
extending mobility to remote and branch offices as
well as telecommuters. Motorola’s Independent Mesh
Access Points (AP-51X1 a/b/g and AP-7131 a/b/g/n)
can be deployed at remote locations yet centrally
managed in the Network Operations Center (NOC)
through the RFS7000 (single switch/controller or a
cluster for scalability). An IPSec VPN tunnel secures
all traffic between the access points and the wireless
switch/controller. Remote Site Survivability (RSS) mesh
access points deliver secure uninterrupted wireless
service — providing unparalleled resiliency that
survives a WAN link outage.
Put your RF on autopilot
The Wi-NG operating system delivers SMART RF
Management, which provides the dynamic RF tuning
required for optimal network performance. This feature
takes self-healing to the next level, dramatically reducing
network monitoring IT costs by enabling the WLAN to
intelligently adapt to the ever-changing RF environment.
The ability to dynamically adjust the power and channels
on any access port automatically eliminates the gaps
in coverage that occur when an AP fails or there is
a change in your environment — for example, the
introduction of an increased volume of liquid or metal
— all without any physical intervention. The elegant
feature protects against under- or over-powering —
scenarios that could reduce performance and network
availability. And adjustments are completely transparent
— there is no impact on voice calls and data sessions
in progress — protecting the quality of service and the
user experience to ensure user productivity.
Maximize benefits — and minimize costs
All the enterprise class services such as security,
voice, performance and resiliency are built into
the Wi-NG operating system — the innovative and
modular operating system (OS) for the RFS7000.
These comprehensive services come at no
additional cost and are packaged together to make
mobility work — even better.
