WS 2000 Wireless Switch
Integrated Wired and Wireless Networking for Branch Office
and Small/Medium Enterprises
The WS 2000 Wireless Switch from Motorola
is an integrated wired and wireless networking solution, priced and designed to
meet the needs of healthcare clinics, schools and colleges to warehouses, branch
offices of government agencies, retail stores, manufacturing plants and more.
Built on the same centralized packet switching architecture as Motorola's
award-winning WS 5000 Wireless Switch, the WS 2000 offers enterprise
class security (802.11i, site-to-site IPSec VPN), public/private
network segmentation and 802.11abg standards support and provides:
- Extensive wireless LAN functionality and high performance
- Power and simplicity of centralized remote management
- Ability to scale to support future growth
- Investment protection and network simplicity

All-in-One Integrated Wired and Wireless Networking
The need to
purchase and manage additional network equipment is eliminated with the
elegant all-in-one design of the WS 2000. Support for multiple wireless
LAN protocols (Wi-Fi® IEEE 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g), as
well as integrated Ethernet switching (6 LAN ports), routing (RIP,
Static Routes), Gateway and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplifies
network deployment and management, and reduces capital expense.
Functionality includes an integrated Stateful Packet Inspection
Firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), DHCP server (on multiple
subnets), and WAN connectivity support for flexible low cost
installation.
Second-Generation Wireless LAN: the Power of Centralized Intelligence
The WS 2000
offers the power and cost-efficiencies of second-generation wireless
networking. Intelligence previously distributed and duplicated
throughout first-generation access point-based wireless LANs is
centralized and aggregated in the WS 2000 Wireless Switch, delivering
unprecedented power and control, and reduced deployment and management
costs. Instead of traditional access points, the WS 2000 works in
conjunction with low-cost Access Ports, which are essentially ‘zero
configuration' devices, operational right out of the box, and can be
mounted almost anywhere—even inside ceiling tiles.
End-to-end layered security
WS 2000
supports a comprehensive suite of security mechanisms—including
access-control, IPSec VPN (site-to-site), 802.1X based authentication,
and strong encryption. In addition, the WS 2000 also integrates a
Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall for protection against various
types of Denial-of-Service attacks and filtering network traffic within
the Local Area Network (LAN) and between the LAN and the Wide Area
Network (WAN). The result is a layered security model that delivers
robust end-to-end security. The WS 2000 supports the best-in-class
wireless security standards of today (including 802.11i), and is easily
upgradeable to tomorrow's standards.
Centralized management
The WS 2000 simplifies day-to-day operations with unified
management of hardware, software configuration, and network policies. Centralized
management also enables the automatic distribution of configurations to all Access
Ports—eliminating the need and the associated costs to configure and manage
each access point. The WS 2000 also simplifies wireless network deployment across
multiple locations (for example, multiple retail stores, restaurants or branch
offices), delivering network design consistency and simplicity, as well as the
ability to centrally manage from a regional Network Operations Center (NOC) or a data center.
