200 SERIES ACCESS POINTS
BRINGING 802.11AC TO THE MASSES
Multifunctional and affordable OmniAccesss 200 series 802.11ac wireless access points (APs)
maximize mobile device performance in medium-density enterprise Wi-Fi environments.
maximize mobile device performance in medium-density enterprise Wi-Fi environments.
These compact and cost-effective dual-
radio APs deliver wireless data rates of
up to 867 Mb/s to 5 GHz devices with
802.11ac technology, leveraging two
spatial multiple-input and multiple-output
(MIMO) streams while simultaneously
supporting 2.4 GHz 802.11n clients with
data rates of up to 300 Mb/s.

that is able to deliver applications and
services along with consistent, high-
quality user experience across wired and

The unified access network starts with
a wire-rate 10GbE/40GbE network core.
The core includes the Alcatel-Lucent
OmniSwitch™ 6900 Stackable LAN Switch,
OmniSwitch 9000E Chassis LAN Switch,
and the OmniSwitch 10K Modular LAN
Chassis. The unified access network pro-
vides a common set of network services,
policy framework, authentication scheme
and a single authentication database that
applies to users accessing the network
with either wired or wireless devices.
Wire line access is provided by stackable
LAN switches like the Alcatel-Lucent
OmniSwitch 6855 Hardened LAN Switch,
OmniSwitch 6850E and OmniSwitch 6450

OmniAccess™ Wi-Fi access points and
Controllers; while BYOD, guest access,
onboarding and policy management
services are provided by ClearPass Policy
Management System.
