Alcatel Lucent OmniAccess Wireless LAN Solutions

Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess access points (APs) are small, lightweight and can be securely deployed in a variety of locations such as on walls, cubicles, desktops, and in the ceiling. The AP antenna diversity allows for the best possible signal processing using dual, omni-directional antennas.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs work with the Alcatel-Lucent Controllers to provide a high performance, centrally managed, wireless mobility solution for enterprises.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs function as 'thin' APs which provide 802.11a/b/g/n user access, but are not overburdened with processing-intensive functions. These functions, such as wireless user authentication, link layer encryption, VPN termination, and upper layer MAC (media access control) services are better suited and handled by Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN switches. This makes Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs cost-effective and simple to deploy and manage.

Administrators have greater control over the entire system including better scalability, higher performance, and easier system-wide changes as standards and security schemes change. Additional benefits include better support for roaming and low-latency (sub 5 millisecond) handoffs between APs - making the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN system ideal for handling delay-sensitive applications such as voice over wireless.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs constantly scan the ambient radio environment to determine any coverage holes, interference, and congestion. Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs automatically change channel assignment or power transmit levels to ensure optimal operation and report these changes back to the WLAN switch. In the event of a failure, the OmniAccess WLAN system automatically alters adjacent AP settings to ensure no loss of WLAN service occurs.

Acting as an air monitor, the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs deliver 100 Mbps of intrusion analysis and relays alerts back to the OmniAccess WLAN switch. Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess APs detect and thwart rogue APs and wireless intrusions such as DoS and man-in-the-middle attacks.
