IPv6 client support
Admission Control ensures 
ample bandwidth and a 
superior user experience  
for VoIP calls
Real Time Locationing 
System (RTLS) 
Provides rich locationing 
services to enable real-
time enterprise asset-
tracking through support 
for 802.11, RFID and third 
party locationing solutions 
— including industry 
leaders AeroScout, Ekahau, 
and Newbury Networks. 
Standards-based support for: 
EPC Global ALE interface for 
processing and filtering data 
from all active and passive 
tags; and EPC Global LLRP 
interface for passive RFID 
tag support
Clustering and  
failover features
Supports multiple levels 
of redundancy and failover 
capabilities to ensure 
high availability networks; 
provides a single virtual IP 
(per VLAN) for the cluster 
for use as a default gateway 
by mobile devices/wired 
infrastructure, on-board 
DHCP/AAA server 
synchronized failover; 
multi-platform license 
sharing enables deployment 
of cost-effective networks
True mobility
Virtual AP provides better 
control of broadcast traffic 
and enables multiple mobile 
and wireless applications 
with quality of service when 
network is congested;  
Pre-emptive Roaming  
ensures Motorola mobile 
devices roam before signal 
quality degrades; Power 
Save Protocol optimizes 
battery life

Continued on back
Admission Control, ensure dedicated bandwidth for 
voice calls as well as better control over active voice 
calls for a variety of VoIP handsets. Layer 3 hyper-fast 
secure roaming combines with readiness for external 
fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) solutions, enabling 
seamless voice services with true mobility across 
the enterprise.
Enabling value-added mobility services
The RFS 7000 supports seamless mobile access 
to multi-RF networks, enabling locationing and 
simplified real-time asset tracking throughout 
the network. In addition, the RFS 7000 offers 
unparalleled management flexibility — the user 
is free to choose between Motorola’s AirDefense 
Infrastructure Management solution, a partner 
portal or any other enterprise application for 
central monitoring and visualization. Secure guest 
access, onboard RADIUS services, granular access, 
bandwidth control at the client level and automatic 
load balancing enable highly optimized, flexible and 
secure hotspot deployments managed centrally 
through one console.
Adaptive AP for increased network  
flexibility — and site survivability
The RFS 7000 simplifies and reduces the cost of 
extending mobility to remote and branch offices as 
well as telecommuters. Motorola’s Independent Mesh 
Access Points (AP 51X1 a/b/g and AP 7131 a/b/g/n) can 
be deployed at remote locations yet centrally managed 
in the Network Operations Center (NOC) through the 
RFS 7000 (single controller or a cluster for scalability). 
An IPSec VPN tunnel secures all traffic between the 
access points and the wireless controller. Remote 
Site Survivability (RSS) mesh access points deliver 
secure uninterrupted wireless service — providing 
unparalleled resiliency that survives a WAN link outage. 
Put your RF on autopilot
The Wi-NG operating system delivers SMART RF 
Management, which provides the dynamic RF tuning 
required for optimal network performance. This feature 
takes self-healing to the next level, dramatically reducing 
network monitoring IT costs by enabling the WLAN to 
intelligently adapt to the ever-changing RF environment. 
The ability to dynamically adjust the power and channels 
on any access port automatically eliminates the gaps 
in coverage that occur when an AP fails or there is 
a change in your environment — for example, the 
introduction of an increased volume of liquid or metal — 
all without any physical intervention. The elegant feature 
protects against under- or over-powering — scenarios 
that could reduce performance and network availability. 
And adjustments are completely transparent — there is 
no impact on voice calls and data sessions in progress 
— protecting the quality of service and the user 
experience to ensure user productivity.
Maximize benefits — and minimize costs 
All the enterprise class services such as security, 
voice, performance and resiliency are built into 
the Wi-NG operating system — the innovative 
and modular operating system (OS) for the RFS 
7000. These comprehensive services come at no 
additional cost and are packaged together to make 
mobility work — even better.
