Brocade Mobility 650 BR-AP065066030WW Hoja De Datos

ALWAYS-ON, HIGH-QUALITY  

ACCESS IS AUTOMATIC 

The Brocade Mobility 650 leverages 

self-healing capabilities to continuously 

optimize network availability. Its central 

and preemptive intelligence dynamically 

senses weak or failing signals, securely 

moves mobile users to alternate APs, 

and boosts signal power to automatically 

fill Radio Frequency (RF) holes and 

ensure uninterrupted mobile user 

access. Full 802.11n performance 

is achieved with built-in Power over 

Ethernet (PoE) capabilities (802.3af).

SELF-LEARNING ACCESS POINTS 

DEPLOY IN MINUTES 

The Brocade Mobility 650 derives its 

intelligence from a Brocade Mobility 

controller, so installation is plug-and-

play for optimal service in existing and 

new WLANs. Brocade Mobility controllers 

discover and self-learn Brocade Mobility 

650 APs on the network and automatically 

download all configuration parameters 

and firmware, greatly reducing installation, 

maintenance, and troubleshooting costs 

for Layer 2 and Layer 3 deployments.

VIRTUAL LAN BOOSTS DEVICE AND 

NETWORK PERFORMANCE 

The Brocade Mobility 650 forwards traffic 

directly, eliminating controller bottlenecks 

for improved 802.11n performance 

and a high-quality user experience.

The Brocade Mobility 650 provides a 

VLAN feature through a switch/controller 

to automatically accelerate device and 

network performance. Each Brocade 

Mobility 650 can be virtualized into four 

unique VLANs, which can be customized 

to direct broadcast traffic to the intended 

recipient. This option reduces the 

wireless network traffic traversing to/

from the network core while improving 

device performance and battery life up 

to 25 percent. This VLAN flexibility also 

reduces the overall number of APs required 

to provide unique device services.

DEVICE MOBILITY INCLUDES SECURE 

ROAMING AND 24 DBM RADIO 

The Brocade Mobility 650 supports  

fast, secure roaming in Layer 2 and  

Layer 3 deployments. In addition, the 

network optimizes mobile performance 

with load balancing, preemptive roaming, 

and rate scaling. The Brocade Mobility 650 

features a powerful 24 dBm radio that 

can reduce the number of APs needed 

by increasing coverage, performance, 

and obstruction penetration far more 

effectively than 23 dBm radios do.

COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY 

REDUCES RISKS 

The comprehensive Brocade Mobility  

650 security capabilities include a  

Layer 2–7 stateful packet filtering firewall; 

Authentication, Authorization, and 

Accounting (AAA); Remote Authentication 

Dial In User Service (RADIUS); wireless 

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) “lite;” 

Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway;  

and location-based access control. The 

AP’s sensor supports simultaneous 

multiband sensing (band unlocked) for 

both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz spectrums. 

Rogue detection is always on with no time 

slicing. For advanced security, users can 

also add Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) 

and the Motorola AirDefense

®

 wireless  

IPS for Brocade Mobility.

BROCADE HYPEREDGE 

ARCHITECTURE

The Brocade HyperEdge

™

 Architecture 

brings campus networks into the modern 

era to better support mobility, security, 

and application agility. This evolutionary 

architecture integrates innovative  

wired and wireless technologies to 

streamline application deployment, 

simplify network management, and 

reduce operating costs.

The HyperEdge Architecture enables 

organizations to build networks that are:

• Agile: By eliminating Spanning Tree 

Protocol (STP) between HyperEdge 
Domain switches through a flatter Layer 
2 design, the HyperEdge Architecture 
increases link utilization and reduces 
application deployment complexity. The 
Distributed AP Forwarding functionality 
of Brocade wireless Access Points (APs) 
efficiently secures and directs mobile 
traffic at the network edge without 
tunneling data back to a central 
controller at the network core.

• Automated: By grouping premium and 

entry-level switches with intelligent 
wireless APs into a consolidated 
management domain, HyperEdge 
Domains eliminate the need to 
provision and manage devices 
individually—simplifying network 
deployment and management.

• Cost-effective: The HyperEdge 

Architecture enables the propagation 
of advanced features and services 
from premium switches to entry-level 
switches, allowing IT organizations  
to purchase only what they need today 
and add intelligent services as the 
business evolves. Further cost  
savings is achieved with Brocade 
wireless solutions using controller- 
less or controller-shared license 
deployment options.
