RFS 6000

The RFS 6000 Wireless Services Controller from Motorola 

enables the wireless enterprise by offering an integrated 

WLAN communication platform that delivers secure and 

reliable voice, video and data applications. Designed on 

the innovative and modular Wi-NG operating system, 

the RFS 6000 provides wired and wireless networking 

services, multiple locationing technologies such as 

Wi-Fi and RFID*; resiliency via 3G wireless broadband 

backhaul; and high performance with 802.11n networks. 

The enterprise class RFS 6000 delivers the best in class 

performance, security, scalability and manageability 

required to meet the needs of demanding mission critical 

business applications.

Based on Motorola’s landmark Wireless Next 

Generation (Wi-NG) operating system, the RFS 6000 

provides the tools you need to simplify and minimize 

the costs associated with real-time management of 

mobility solutions. The Wi-NG architecture provides 

unified management of network hardware, software 

configuration, and network policies, complete with 

built-in process monitors and troubleshooting tools for 

all the Access Points that it administers policy 

configurations for.

 

 

The RFS 6000 offers a multicore, multithreaded Wi-NG 

architecture capable of supporting 2,000 to mobile devices 

and up to 256 802.11 a/b/g/n adaptive access points per 

switch/controller. The result is an architecture that is 

purpose-built to deliver high availability — and scalability. 

In addition, a user accessible ExpressCard™ Slot supports 

3G broadband cards for a redundant wireless WAN 

backhaul connection, providing a truly self-sustainable 

wireless enterprise.

Comprehensive network security features keep wireless 

transmissions secure and provide compliance for HIPAA 

and PCI. The RFS 6000 provides gap-free security for the 

WLAN network, following a tiered approach to protect 

and secure data at every point in the network, wired or 

wireless. This complete solution includes a wired/wireless 

firewall, a built-in wireless intrusion protection system 

(IPS), an integrated IPSec VPN gateway, AAA Radius 

Server and secure guest access with a captive web portal, 

reducing the need to purchase and manage additional 

infrastructure. Additional security features include MAC-

based authentication, 802.11w* to secure management 

frames, NAC support, anomaly analysis and more.
