- Broadband access via UMTS/HSDPA or DSL
- High availability through vendor-independent VRRP
- 5 IPSec VPN channels integrated; optional: 25 simultaneous VPN channels
- Integrated dualband access point for 2.4 or 5 GHz compliant with IEEE802.11a/b/e/g/h/i
- High-security wireless LAN through 802.11i, 802.1x/EAP and LEPS
- Stateful inspection firewall with Intrusion Detection/denial-of-service protection
- No-problems installation even away from power-supply points with Power over Ethernet
- UMTS/HSDPA card not included
As of LCOS release 6.14, the UMTS option is integrated into the LANCOM 3550 Wireless as standard. All that is required to use this feature is to upload the latest firmware version into the device.
More Connectivity
The combination of UMTS/HSDPA, WLAN, DSL and VPN opens up a completely new range of possibilities in enterprise connectivity—for example, mobile conference rooms that are connected via UMTS/HSDPA and offer Internet access over WLAN or access to the company network via VPN.
As a back-up connection for site coupling, UMTS/HSDPA is cheaper and faster than the conventional alternative, ISDN. Furthermore, it is significantly less prone to failure as there are no cables which are at risk from construction works. Using VRRP with the LANCOM 3550 Wireless offers fully vendor-independent high availability and a completely transparent, automatic switch of media in the event of backup.
Apart from that, UMTS/HSDPA is able to bridge the “last mile” for customers who do not have access to an equivalent broadband connection. The UMTS/HSDPA card is simply operated in the CardBus expansion slot of the LANCOM 3550 Wireless. The device automatically switches Internet access between HSDPA, UMTS and GPRS depending on availability.
More Security
The integrated firewall with the latest security functions such as stateful inspection, Intrusion Detection and Denial-of-Service protection is supplemented by dynamic bandwidth management and comprehensive functions for backup, high-availability and redundancy through VRRP. The integrated VPN gateway that fulfills the IPSec standard provides optimal security for connecting telecommuters and branch offices thanks to the high-security 3-DES or AES encryption and support of digital certificates. LANCOM is setting the standards in area of WLAN security, too. A comprehensive range of security technologies is supported in wireless LAN including IEEE 802.11i, 802.1x, WPA, WEP64/128//152, ACL or LEPS (LANCOM Enhanced Passphrase Security), which enables the configuration of an optimized solution, whatever the individual requirements. For example, Multi SSID allows the definition of up to 8 user groups, each with its own level of security.
More Management
LANCOM developments are focused on performance, security and on management, too. The management systems LANconfig and LANmonitor are included and offer not only cost-effective remote maintenance of entire installations along with highly convenient setup wizards, but also full real-time monitoring and logging. What’s more, service providers benefit from the broad range of scripting methods and professional access with individual access rights for administrators via SSH, HTTPS, TFTP and Telnet.
More Certainty for the Future
From the very start, LANCOM products are designed for a product life of several years. They are equipped with hardware dimensioned for the future. Even reaching back to older product generations, updates to the LANCOM Operating System—LCOS—are available several times a year, free of charge and offering major features. LANCOM offers unbeatable protection of your investment!
