3Com Wireless Access Controllers provide wireless networks with expanded system capacity, enhanced performance and powerful control capabilities. Ideal for deployment in branch offices and campus networks where centralized management of wireline and wireless resources is critical, they provide redundancy, quality of service (QoS) in a roaming environment, and enhanced authentication and security features that surpass those of stand-alone wireless networks.
3Com wirelss controllers employ 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.
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.
Using MAC-based authentication and access control, the rights of user groups and specific users can be configured and modified on the AAA server. 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.
