WIRELESS

DATA SHEET

OVERVIEW

Enterprise-class wireless user access control and

management provide wireless networks with expanded

system capacity, enhanced performance and powerful

control capabilities. 3Com

Wireless Access Controllers

are ideal for deployment in branch offices and campus

networks where centralized management of wired and

wireless resources is critical. They provide redundancy,

quality of service (QoS), and enhanced authentication and

security features that surpass those of standalone

wireless networks. Featured controllers include the

3Com WX 3008, 3Com WX3010, 3Com WX3024 and 3Com

Wireless Controller Blade for the S7900E Chassis.

KEY BENEFITS

Expands Wireless Control over the Growing

Enterprise

3Com employs an innovative authentication mechanism

based on user identities, rather than ports or devices to

guarantee network mobility and security. During

authentication, an authentication server assigns a user

profile to a device. If the user passes authentication, the

device uses the configuration contents in the user profile

to restrict the accessible resources of the user. When this

user goes offline, the device disables the user profile. As

a result, user profiles are applicable to online users

rather than offline users. This includes users who did not

pass authentication.

Information exchanged through access controllers in the

WLAN network enables consistent access and security

policies across the entire network. In addition, Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES), Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP) and Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP)

encryption functions based on a combination of Wi-Fi

Protected Access (WPA™)/(WPA2™) and 802.1X

authentication enhance network security.

Centralizes Management of 802.11n APs

3Com Wireless Controllers series can be used to manage

802.11a/b/g/n Access Points (APs). In 802.11n mode, the

3Com 802.11n-based AP can provide wireless access

rates equivalent to six times the wireless access rates

provided by a conventional 802.11a/b/g network,

expanding coverage and capably deploying wireless

multimedia applications.

The 3Com WX3000 Series also provides an embedded

portal server to provide security authentication for users

in places where clients cannot be installed.

Provides Advanced Wireless User Management

Using MAC-based authentication and access control, a

user can configure and modify the rights of user groups

on the AAA server, and can configure the rights of

specific users. This fine user rights control method

greatly enhances the availability of the wireless network

and enables network administrators to easily allocate

access rights to various levels of users or user groups.

Enables Flexible Data Forwarding Modes

To ensure the seamless transmission of data, 3Com

Wireless Controllers support both centralized and

distributed data forwarding. Combining their mutual
