Nortel Networks Launches WLAN Portfolio

Nortel Networks launched a portfolio of WLAN products for both enterprises and carriers. The company said its WLAN solutions target secure access to voice and data services, like email, voicemail and unified messaging. The line-up includes four core products:

  • Nortel Networks WLAN Security Switch 2250, which provides security management services, such as privileged-based access and unauthorized access detection, as well as centralized control to protect and manage mobile communications over WLANs. It also provides additional load balancing capability.


  • Nortel Networks WLAN Access Point 2220, an access point featuring dual image support for operational and default settings to enable emergency repairs in hotspot deployments to be delayed until convenient. It also offers a WLAN hotspot feature set, dual-mode radio signaling and seamless IP roaming across different domains, including dual mode roaming between the 802.11a and b standards.


  • Nortel Networks WLAN Mobile Voice Client i2050, which supports wireless IP telephony calls for pocket PCs.


  • Nortel Networks WLAN Mobile Adapter 2201, a Cardbus adapter supporting both 802.11a and 802.11b standards.


Nortel Networks said these products could be combined with its existing Contivity, Passport, Shasta, Succession and Univity IP platforms.
