HIghlighting WiFi Solution

The showcase of the expanded Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Mobile Campus solution family is the new Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar WLAN family of products. Stellar access points use a controller-less architecture with distributed control intelligence providing more reliability, better scalability and reduced cost.

Furthermore, it includes integrated guest management and built-in DPI which can be leveraged for smart analytics and to help better support Internet of Things devices such as surveillance cameras, traffic lights and more.

OmniAccess Stellar is offered in two modes:

WiFi Express: Scales up to 64 APs and operates in a simplified cluster architecture, providing plug-and-play deployments and mostly used for SMB.
WiFi Enterprise: Used for networks with high scalability, it operates in a controller-less architecture but requires the OmniVista 2500 NMS to provide multiple advanced network services including a comprehensive guest management, BYOD, IoT containment, Apple/ DLNA devices support and detailed analytics.

Stackable Access Switches

The most recent addition to the access switch family is the OmniSwitch 6560 with Multigigabit 2.5Gbps access ports to enable high-speed WiFi and high PoE ports to power IoT devices. Additional 10Gbps uplink ports and 20G stacking ports offer the option to address the expected growing demand in term of network traffic.

Network Management – Smart Analytics

Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® 2500 Network Management provides businesses smart monitoring and control for users, devices and applications, which can empower companies to create a simple and effective unified management resource and support better strategic decisions. OmniVista not only manages OmniAccess Stellar WLAN infrastructure but it also offers a unified configuration and policy management for both the LAN and WLAN. It avoids duplication of tasks, keeps policies consistent on the entire network infrastructure and simplifies IT operations. In addition, OmniVista provides application analytics dashboards that give all relevant information regarding the network usage, ensuring the alignment of investments with the business’ strategy.
