Detailed analysis of WS2000 wireless switch performance characteristics

The use of wireless switches is becoming increasingly popular in various large networks. What kind of wireless switches should we choose? Here, I will introduce you to a WS2000 wireless switch. We will analyze the features of the WS2000 wireless switch from various aspects.

The WS2000 wireless switch is the first system that integrates both wired and wireless network solutions. Its price and design aim to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and their branches, suitable for retail stores, warehouses, coffee shops and restaurants, libraries, satellite offices, and other places.

WS2000 provides:

Comprehensive Wireless LAN functions and high performance

Centralized and simple Remote Management

Enterprise-level security

Can be expanded to support future development needs

WS2000 wireless switch wired and wireless network package Integration

With WS2000's first-class design package, you no longer need to buy and manage other network devices. Supports multiple wireless LAN protocols, including Wi-Fi, IEEE802.11b, and 802.11a. Supports 802.11 Gbit/s, as well as integrated routers, gateways, and Ethernet power supply (PoE ), simplify network deployment and management and reduce capital expenditures. Its functions include: integrated StatefulPacketInspection firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), DHCP server, and WAN connection support to flexibly reduce installation costs.

Second-generation wireless LAN: Powerful centralized and intelligent functions

WS2000 provides powerful functionality and economic benefits for the second generation of wireless networks. The WS2000 wireless switch integrates the intelligence of the distribution and replication of the first generation wireless LAN across the entire access point, providing unprecedented powerful functions and control capabilities, and effectively reduces deployment and management costs. WS2000 can be used in combination with low-cost AccessPort. These access ports are truly "zero-configuration" plug-and-play devices that can be used out of the box and can be installed almost anywhere, it is even installed in the ceiling.

End-to-End hierarchical security

WS2000 supports a complete set of security mechanisms, including Access Point Control, 802.1X-based authentication, and enhanced encryption. In addition, the WS2000 wireless switch integrates the StatefulPacketInspection firewall to defend against various Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and filter network traffic within the LAN and between the LAN and WAN. This forms a layered security mode that provides robust end-to-end security. WS2000 supports world-class wireless security standards and can be easily upgraded to future standards.

Centralized Management

WS2000 manages hardware, software configurations, and network policies in a unified manner to simplify daily work. Through centralized management, you can also automatically distribute configurations to all access ports, so that you do not need to configure and manage each access point separately and reduce the associated costs. In addition, WS2000 wireless switches can simplify wireless network deployment across multiple locations, such as multiple retail stores, restaurants, or branches, to provide consistent Network Design and simplify management, you can also perform centralized management from the region Network Operation Center (NOC) or data center.

Scalable and easy to upgrade

Compared with access point-based wireless LAN, it is more convenient to add capacity and new features, and the cost is lower. With WS2000, your wireless network can be expanded as your company grows. Each WS2000 wireless switch supports up to 6 access ports and 3 wireless LAN, each of which has its own security and network policies. In addition, with the centralized architecture of WS2000, upgraded to the latest standard, such as the 802.11i security standard, is not only fast but also extremely easy.

Lower total cost of ownership-reliable investment guarantee

WS2000 does not have the system overhead and complexity of the first generation of Wireless LAN Based on access points, and the implementation and management costs of wireless networks are lower. Its wide range of functions, scalability, and centralized management can reduce the time and management costs associated with access point-based solutions, reducing the total cost of ownership. In addition, WS2000 not only supports current and future standards, but also supports traditional wireless networks in the past. This flexibility can make your investment worthwhile.

2 Fast Ethernet ports

WAN (Uplink) Port

Four PoELANPorts

Mobile Application storage zone Console Port

WS2000 provides integrated functions, including PoE and CF card slots used to support other applications

Flexible installation options: WS2000 wireless switches can be installed on desktops, walls, or racks. The standard 1RU shape allows WS2000 to be easily installed with other network devices in any standard network rack.

Saves power on client devices

The energy-saving protocol (PSP) Round Robin function maximizes battery life and maintains application performance. This enables devices to save power during wireless transmission and ensure that data packets can be stored and transmitted reliably after the device is awakened.

Virtual AP implements a virtual LAN

Virtual AP can be used to divide a wireless LAN into real wireless peers of multiple broadcast domains EthernetVLAN). Multiple ESSID Extended Service Set Identifiers are mapped to multiple BSSID Basic Service Set Identifiers). The virtual AP can provide comprehensive control over broadcast traffic. It is very important to control the broadcast traffic, including network-level messages, because it has a potential negative impact on performance. Intelligent Control over broadcast forwarding through proxy ARP and other mechanisms ensures that only the target recipient receives broadcast traffic. The decrease in traffic maximizes the bandwidth and network throughput. Because you do not need to process messages sent to other recipients, the service life and overall performance of the device battery have been improved; because broadcast messages are no longer transmitted to wrong recipients, it is no longer possible to reduce the confidentiality and security of messages.

Load Balancing and mandatory roaming

Normal roaming occurs only when the device connection speed reaches the minimum of 1 Mbps. Generally, it will go beyond the boundary of one cell and almost reach the half distance of another adjacent cell. The client load balancing and mandatory roaming functions work simultaneously to ensure that the device is roaming before the connection quality gets worse, providing users with a more consistent connection speed to ensure application performance. WS2000 can provide information required for roaming decision-making to ensure that important wireless connections, such as real-time voice and data connections, are continuously connected.

Comprehensive WLAN Functions

WS2000 features comprehensive, it can fully control the wireless LAN traffic, provide extraordinary performance. With comprehensive Wireless LAN functions, in today's highly competitive wireless environment, you can maximize bandwidth and throughput, protect network traffic security, prioritize voice traffic, save power on mobile devices, and provide users with reliable connection speeds.

Scalable Radio Architecture

Each WS2000 wireless switch can support up to 6 single-frequency or dual-frequency access points at 2 to 4 GHz or 5 GHz frequencies. The radio 802.11b and 802.11a currently follow 802.11 GB. This provides the widest range of radio technical support in the industry.

Access Point: Next-generation wireless access device

The access port simplifies the implementation and management of wireless networks, and provides unprecedented upgrade capabilities. This innovative design removes the need for dual computing components and management related to the use of access points across the entire Wireless LAN. You can easily upgrade the access port through the new features of WS2000, and the investment is very guaranteed.
