Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 4306G and OmniAccess 4306GW 
Branch Office WLAN Switches

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess

™

 4306G and OmniAccess 4306GW Branch Office WLAN switches are compact, 

cost effective and support the identical advanced wireless services that a campus WLAN switch offers. In addi-
tion, the OmniAccess 4306G and OmniAccess 4306GW go beyond pure wireless services by providing built-in 
print and file servers and secured Ethernet connectivity. The OmniAccess wireless centralized configuration and 
management model enables the OmniAccess 4306G and OmniAccess 4306GW to be deployed, monitored, 
and controlled without any local IT staff. 

The OmniAccess 4306G and  
OmniAccess 4306GW support eight 
Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ 
capability, four USB ports, and all the 
advanced wireless services that the 
larger OmniAccess WLAN switches 
provide. The OmniAccess 4306GW also 
includes an integrated 802.11a/b/g/n 
access point. The OmniAccess 4306G 
and OmniAccess 4306GW offer leading 
edge VoWLAN capabilities, which 

make them ideal for deployment of 
Alcatel-Lucent IP Touch

™

 Wireless LAN 

handsets, dual mode smart phones 
and mobile communication applica-
tions. The OmniAccess 4306G and 
OmniAccess 4306GW are also the first 
OmniAccess WLAN switches with 3G 
capability. The 3G link can be used to 
connect to the Internet, to connect 
back to a centralized WLAN switch or 
as a back-up connection.

Zero-touch remote deployment and management

Saves time and lowers costs because installation can be performed by non-IT personnel while complex 

management tasks are performed from a central location by a remote IT team.

USB ports for network connection of storage 

devices or printers

USB ports can be used to connect storage devices or printers. These devices are then accessible anywhere  

in the branch network.

3G connectivity

3G connectivity allows the rapid set-up of a branch network when no wired connection (e.g., DSL) is available, or 

could be used as a back-up connection in case of primary wired link failure.

Built-in access point

The OmniAccess 4306GW includes an integrated dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n wireless access point. This access 

point can be used to cost effectively provide connectivity services to 802.11 clients. It can also be used as a 

mesh portal to quickly deploy a branch WLAN infrastructure without pulling Ethernet cable to the access points 

in the network.

Dynamic radio frequency (RF) management

Provides analysis of the RF environment to facilitate the deployment of self tuning access points and to 

fine-tune the operation of the network with virtual real-time site surveys.

Integrated wireless intrusion prevention

Integrates both wireless networking and wireless intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS) thus reducing 

the cost of the wireless infrastructure and its operation.

User-centric security with stateful firewall

Role-based security reduces the network management burden by preventing unauthenticated users from 

accessing the corporate wireless network while safely supporting guest users, contractors, and corporate users.

Quality of service

Improves voice quality through the support of quality of service (QoS) mechanisms such as Wi-Fi multimedia 

(WMM), differentiated services code point (DSCP) marking and prioritization, and connection admission control 

(CAC).

Extended battery life for voice devices

Improves battery life of mobile devices such as the Alcatel-Lucent IP Touch Wireless LAN handsets with 

standard protocols including IEEE 802.11e - U-APSD.
