Manufacture Discontinue (MD) – This notice serves as formal communication of Nortel’s*

products.  No further orders will be accepted as of the Last Time Order Date shown above

Description 
The WLAN 223X/2270 products, also known as the Adaptive WLAN solution, were 
introduced in 2004 to offer Nortel customers a centralized WLAN architecture option. These 
products were sourced by Airespace Networks through an OEM relationship.  Subsequently, 
Cisco acquired Airespace, and Nortel has introduced the next generation WLAN 2300 series 
to meet customer requirements for a scalable, secure and high performance WLAN solution 
that supports mobile voice and multi-media services.
