The latest release of Alcatel-Lucent Operating Software (AOS) extends the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Unified Access offer with new BYOD and SDN capabilities across all access switches. These new capabilities on the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch 6450 and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch 6250 access switch products serve SMB and budget constrained businesses to mid-to-large enterprises.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s Unified Access is the first converged wired and wireless solution to address networking challenges, management complexity and offer a consistent user experience. It enables employees and customers to use corporate or personal, wired or wireless devices on the enterprise network. At the same time, these capabilities also help simplify IT operations, improving security and protecting the business’ investments.
These functionalities were previously available only in the high-end OmniSwitch 6860 product family but now are offered on the OmniSwitch 6450 (OS6450) Gigabit access family and the OmniSwitch 6250 (OS6250) Fast Ethernet access family of products.
New capabilities now supported in the OS6450/OS6250 families include:
End users and IT administrators are now able to self-register Apple® devices.
Network services facilitating the adoption of BYOD are now supported on the OS6450 and OS6250 including management enhancements for BYOD services such as device configuration and guest registration, new security to increase LAN security to be on par with the wireless experience by automatically registering devices like laptops, tablets, printers and cameras, device health checks and support of OpenFlow 1.3 to integrate all Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise access switches within an SDN ecosystem.
OmniSwitch 6450 reaching additional markets – Service Provider
The OS6450 product family is being augmented to address the Service Provider market. Two new models have been added: OS6450-P10S and OS6450-U24S.
These models simplify deployment and decrease TCO for mobile Service Providers, essential to power the next generation multi-standard small cells. They can be used to power devices like surveillance cameras, nurse call systems, retail point-of-sale, building management access control systems, or any devices requiring more than 30W. Unique capabilities, including IEEE 1588v2 and High Power PoE (up to 75W), set them apart in small cell mobile backhaul networks. IEEE 1588v2 is essential to provide precision clock synchronisation for small cells when LTE technology is enabled. The OS6450-P10S includes four High Power PoE ports capable to provide up to 75W per port.
In addition, the OS6250 and OS6450 families are now Carrier Ethernet (CE) 2.0 Metro Ethernet Forum certified, offering specialised capabilities and a broad portfolio to be used in service providers managed Ethernet services for both residential and business customers.
