Radio Switch RS4000

The Radio Switch RS4000 enables high-capacity enterprise-class wireless LAN connec-
tivity with full support of standard 802.11 security and network management
features. Each RS4000 contains four 802.11 radios (two 802.11b/g, two 802.11a) for
high data and voice throughput – an essential requirement for high user-density envi-
ronments with several simultaneous users. Classrooms and convention halls are
typical deployment applications of the Radio Switch. Deploying the Radio Switch is
easy— as with wireless access points, the Radio Switch can be installed wherever
wireless coverage is needed. For large buildings with multiple rooms and floors, more
than one Radio Switch can be installed to cover the desired area. Wireless users can
seamlessly roam from one Radio Switch to another, getting high-capacity WLAN
access throughout the wireless enterprise enabled with multiple Radio Switches. The
RS4000 also balances radio traffic across its RF channels and resolves contention
within each RF channel such that users receive a switched wireless experience with
dedicated bandwidth to execute a variety of applications ranging from web browsing
and VoIP mobility to multimedia streaming.
