Brocade Mobility 650 BR-AP065060010US Datenbogen

ALWAYS-ON, HIGH-QUALITY  

ACCESS IS AUTOMATIC 

The Brocade Mobility 650 AP is 

designed to continuously optimize 

network availability through its central 

and preemptive intelligence, which 

dynamically senses weak or failing 

signals, securely moves mobile users to 

alternate APs, and boosts signal power 

to automatically fill Radio Frequency (RF)

holes and ensure uninterrupted mobile 

user access. Full 802.11n performance 

is achieved with built-in Power over 

Ethernet (PoE) capabilities (802.3af).

VIRTUAL LAN BOOSTS DEVICE AND 

NETWORK PERFORMANCE 

The Brocade Mobility 650 provides a 

VLAN feature through a switch/controller 

to accelerate device and network 

performance. Each Brocade Mobility 

650 can be virtualized into four unique 

VLANs, which can be customized to 

direct broadcast traffic to the intended

recipient. This option reduces the overall 

amount of network traffic while improving

device performance and battery life up 

to 25 percent. This VLAN flexibility also

reduces the overall number of APs required 

to provide unique device services.

The Brocade Mobility 650 also supports 

Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) 

services, such as Quality of Service (QoS), 

which ensures toll-quality audio—even 

with multiple VoWLAN calls. In addition, 

locationing services over 802.11n provide 

the ability to locate and track people or 

assets, or control network and application 

access with features that provide hotspot 

and guest access authorization.

The Brocade Mobility 650 forwards traffic

directly, eliminating controller bottlenecks 

for improved 802.11n performance.

DEVICE MOBILITY INCLUDES SECURE 

ROAMING AND 24 DBM RADIO 

The Brocade Mobility 650 supports fast, 

secure roaming in Layer 2 and Layer 3 

deployments. In addition, the network 

optimizes mobile performance with 

load balancing, preemptive roaming, 

and rate scaling. The Brocade Mobility 

650 features a powerful 24 dBm radio 

that increases coverage, performance, 

and obstruction penetration far more 

effectively than 23 dBm radios do.

COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY 

REDUCES RISKS 

The comprehensive Brocade Mobility  

650 security capabilities include a  

Layer 2–7 stateful packet filtering firewall;

Authentication, Authorization, and 

Accounting (AAA); Remote Authentication

Dial In User Service (RADIUS), wireless 

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) “lite;”

Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway;  

and location-based access control. The 

AP’s sensor supports simultaneous 

multiband sensing (band unlocked) for 

both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz spectrums. 

Rogue detection is always on with no time 

slicing. For advanced security, users can 

also add Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) 

and the Motorola AirDefense

®

 wireless  

IPS for Brocade Mobility.

DYNAMIC HELP-DESK SUPPORT 

IMPROVES PERFORMANCE 

The Brocade Mobility 650 multipurpose 

architecture enables IT organizations to 

extend immediate help-desk support on the 

fly—as if the technician were sitting directly

under the AP. AirDefense for Brocade 

Mobility help-desk capabilities supported 

by the Brocade Mobility 650 include:

• Advanced troubleshooting: Enables help-

desk technicians to immediately emulate 
and test user connectivity over the air 
from a device all the way to the back-end 
application and isolate the obstruction, 
even if it is not caused by the WLAN.

• Spectrum analysis: Enables help-desk 

technicians to analyze the local spectrum 
for interference. 

• Vulnerability analysis: Enables help-

desk technicians to remotely scan for 
security breaches on the wired or wireless 
network on a scheduled or periodic basis 
to help ensure network security and 
regulatory compliance.

PLUG-AND-PLAY DEPLOYMENT  

TAKES JUST MINUTES 

The Brocade Mobility 650 derives its 

intelligence from a Brocade Mobility 

controller, so installation is plug-and-play 

for optimal service in existing and new 

wireless WLANs.

Brocade Mobility controllers discover 

Brocade Mobility 650 APs on the 

network and automatically download all 

configuration parameters and firmware,

greatly reducing installation, maintenance, 

and troubleshooting costs for Layer 2 and 

Layer 3 deployments.

UNIFIED WIRED/WIRELESS NETWORK 

MANAGEMENT REDUCES COMPLEXITY 

Managing enterprise campus networks 

continues to become more complex, thanks 

to the growth in services that rely on wired 

and wireless networks. Services such as 

Internet, e-mail, video conferencing, real-time 

collaboration, and distance learning all 

have specific configuration and management

requirements. At the same time,  

organizations face increasing demand  

to provide uninterrupted services  

for high-quality voice and Unified  

Communications (UC), wireless mobility,  

and multimedia applications.

To reduce complexity and time spent 

managing these environments, the easy-

to-use Brocade Network Advisor discovers, 

manages, and deploys configurations to

groups of IP devices. By using the Brocade 

Network Advisor Device Configuration

Manager tool, organizations can configure

VLANs within the network, manage wireless 

AP realms, group wireless LAN switches 

into domains for Layer 3 mobility support, 

or execute Command Line Interface (CLI) 

commands on specific devices or groups of

devices. Brocade Network Advisor centralizes 

management of the entire family of Brocade 

Mobility wireless products, including Brocade 

Mobility 650 APs and Brocade Mobility 

wireless controllers.
