分布式Wi-Fi控制架构

Smart, advanced access points (APs) are managed as a single system or cluster and handle the control and forwarding planes in a distributed and coordinated manner in a controller-less architecture. 可以对控制器进行虚拟化, and deploy and run it in a distributed way in the APs with coordinated intelligence.

A unified management and distributed control solution eliminates the need for a centralised controller in wireless deployment architectures, offering many potential benefits to organisations and their IT departments.

简单地提供企业级安全性和可扩展性

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar architecture enables a visionary distributed Wi-Fi architecture with centralised management and policy control. This enforces security at every step starting at the network edge and allows unparalleled scaling in network capacity. This architecture is vital for enabling the next generation of digital enterprise that demands business agility, seamless mobility, 以及安全的物联网基础设施, empowering business transformation through continuous innovation.

OmniAccess Stellar通过WPA3提供增强的安全性, 一个新的企业和公共网络安全标准. It improves Wi-Fi security by using advanced security algorithms and stronger ciphers in enterprises including the 192-bit security suite. Public spaces which provide open non-protected access can now provide encryption and privacy using OmniAccess Stellar, which supports the new Wi-Fi Enhanced Open security standard, 基于机会无线加密(OWE).

ap有三种部署方式, 所有这些都是通过单一版本的软件实现的, 简化IT操作.

阿尔卡特朗讯OmniVista 2500网络管理系统

Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2500网络管理系统 为大规模部署提供安全的即插即用ap, with user-friendly workflows for wireless services and unified access for end-to-end security. OmniVista 2500 NMS comes with an integrated Unified Policy Authentication Manager (UPAM) which helps define the authentication strategy and policy enforcement for employees, guest management, and BYOD devices. The OmniAccess Stellar architecture has built-in DPI technology providing real-time Application Monitoring and enforcement capabilities. The network administrator can obtain a comprehensive view of applications running in the network and apply adequate controls to optimise the network performance for business-critical applications.

OmniVista 2500 NMS provides advanced options for RF management, 用于入侵检测和防御的wIDS/ wps, 以及用于WLAN站点规划的热图. 进一步简化资讯科技, the APs can be managed as one or more access point groups (a logical grouping of one or more APs).

以下是客户选择ALE的原因

• Lower CAPEX: A central controller is not required and licensing and maintenance costs are eliminated
• Lower OPEX: Less equipment to operate, manage, and  monitor by the IT department
• Increased resiliency: Controller function shared by all APs in the management domain
• 没有流量瓶颈，减少延迟: Traffic can  directly bridge into the local Ethernet switch
• Better scalability: No controller equipment required, regardless of the size of the deployment
