ALCATEL-LUCENT  
OmniAccess 220 SERIES  
ACCESS POINTS
SETTING A HIGHER STANDARD  
FOR 802.11AC
Multifunctional Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess™ 220 Series Access Points (APs) deliver gigabit Wi-Fi 
performance to 802.11ac mobile devices. Integrated ClientMatch™ technology ensures consistently 
high performance across the WLAN infrastructure.
With a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gb/s 
in the 5-GHz band and 600 Mb/s in the 
2.4-GHz band, the OmniAccess 220 Series 
APs are three-times faster than 802.11n 
APs and provide performance similar to a 
wired connection.
ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky 
clients by continuously gathering session 
performance metrics from mobile devices. 
This information is then used to steer each 
mobile device to the best AP and radio on 
the WLAN.
Proactive and deterministic, ClientMatch 
dynamically optimizes Wi-Fi client perfor-
mance as users roam and RF conditions 
change. If a mobile device moves out of 
range of an AP or if RF interference impedes 
performance, ClientMatch automatically 
steers the mobile device to a better AP.
With ClientMatch, OmniAccess 220 Series 
APs load web pages faster, deliver video 
streams with improved quality and support 
high densities of mobile devices. An 802.11ac 
network without ClientMatch performs no 
different than an 802.11n WLAN.
In addition, the OmniAccess 220 Series 
APs support priority handling and policy 
enforcement for individual Microsoft® 
Lync® media on the same device, including 
encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat 
and desktop sharing.
