Definition

Manufacture Discontinue (MD) – This notice serves as formal communication of Nortel's*
intent to MD the WLAN Security Switch 2270, WLAN Access Ports 223x and dependant
products. No further orders will be accepted as of the Last Time Order Date shown above
and no further shipments made after the product has been discontinued. The MD of these

Description

The WLAN 223X/2270 products, also known as the Adaptive WLAN solution, were
introduced in 2004 to offer Nortel customers a centralized WLAN architecture option. These
products were sourced by Airespace Networks through an OEM relationship. Subsequently,
Cisco acquired Airespace, and Nortel has introduced the next generation WLAN 2300 series
to meet customer requirements for a scalable, secure and high performance WLAN solution
that supports mobile voice and multi-media services.
