Zebra RFS6010 RFS-6010-10010-WR User Manual

The RFS6000 Enterprise WLAN Switch/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 RFS6000 
provides wired and wireless networking services, 
multiple locationing technologies such as Wi-Fi 
and RFID; resiliency via 3G/4G wireless broadband 
backhaul; and high performance with 802.11n 
networks. The enterprise class RFS6000 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 RFS6000 
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. 
In conjunction with the RF Management Suite (sold 
separately), the RFS6000 provides centralized control 
over the entire lifecycle of your Motorola mobility 
solution — allowing you to easily design, deploy, 
monitor and secure your wireless network.

Wi-NG Operating System  
— delivering a unified  
voice, data and RF  
management platform
Improve business process flow 
with one platform for wireless 
voice, video, data and multiple 
RF technologies — such as 
RFID, Wi-Fi (including 802.11n) 
and future technologies such 
as Wi-MAX; rich enterprise-
class functionality includes 
seamless roaming across 
L2/L3 deployments, 
resilient failover capabilities, 
comprehensive security, 
toll-quality voice and other 
value-added services, such  
as multi-RF locationing

Role-based wired/ 
wireless firewall 
Comprehensively secures and 
protects the wired and wireless 
network against attacks and 
unauthorized access at Layer 
2 and Layer 3 with stateful 
inspection; ability to create 
identity and location-based 
policies provides granular 
control of network access

The RFS6000 offers a multicore, multithreaded 
Wi-NG architecture capable of supporting 2,000 to 
20,000 mobile devices and up to 48 dual radio 802.11 
a/b/g thin access points or 256 adaptive access 
points (AP-5131 a/b/g or AP-7131 a/b/g/n) per switch/
controller. Motorola’s patent pending clustering 
technology allows a 12X capacity increase, for build-
as-you-grow networks. 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 RFS6000 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.
