Symbol Tech Announces New Wireless Architecture

Symbol Technologies, an enterprise mobility company, has announced details of its innovative Wireless Next Generation (Wi-NG) architecture to help businesses cost-effectively deploy and centrally manage wireless voice, data and infrastructure devices throughout the radio frequency (RF) spectrum.

The architecture enables the consolidation of Wi-Fi, radio-frequency identification (RFID), VoWLAN (Voice over Wireless LAN), mesh and WiMAX networks in an integrated RF switching platform.

Symbol's Wi-NG architecture will enable Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC), further powering the next generation of enterprise mobility.

Symbol's Wi-NG architecture will apply the same innovative concept of centralised wireless switching to RFID for improved security, manageability and scalability.

By 2009, the RFID market will reach USS 2.5 billion and the enterprise WLAN market is expected to reach USD 2.9 billion. Rather than continue to build separate networks, Symbol will help customers consolidate both to create a RF switched domain that integrates both environments.

The Wi-NG architecture includes integrated RF management features to monitor and manage wireless devices throughout the spectrum to ensure maximum up-time and peak performance of the network system, as well as plan, evaluate and monitor the Wi-Fi network.

Symbol's RF management with Wireless Intrusion Protection System (Wireless IPS) enables businesses to extend location-based services throughout the enterprise, and quickly locate devices and disarm potential threats, providing protection against unauthorised access and malicious attacks on the Wi-Fi network.
