Standard with every wireless LAN, the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess™ base software provides unprecedented control over the entire wireless environment and enables advanced adaptive WLAN, identity-based security and application continuity services.
The base feature set of Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess wireless LAN base software includes sophisticated authentication and encryption, protection against rogue access points (APs), seamless mobility with fast roaming, RF management and analysis tools, centralized configuration, location tracking, and more.
OmniAccess wireless LAN base software can be complemented with the following optional modules:
•    Wireless intrusion protection (WIP)
•    Policy enforcement firewall (PEF)
•    Voice service module (VSM)
•    VPN server (VPN)
•    Remote access point (RAP)
•    Wireless mesh (MAP and IMP)
•    External services interface (ESI)

 

•    Highly secure authentication, encryption and access control
•    Simple Web authentication for guest or visiting employees
•    High performance RADIUS authentication
•    Protection against un-authorized access points connecting to the wire-line infrastructure and opening the network to external users.
•    Ultra-fast handoffs between access points allows seamless mobility for users to roam between APs and the WLAN while using real-time delay sensitive applications such as VoWLAN
•    Simplifies deployment and operation through self-configuration of all RF parameters with dynamic interference avoidance
•    Real-time monitoring and display of RF coverage and interference
•    Highly available WLAN infrastructure through WLAN switch redundancy and self healing capability in case of AP failure
•    Avoids radio dead spots and provides AP back-up

•    802.1x authentication with WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i
•    Web-based captive portal for SSL browser-based authentication
•    EAP off-load with hardware based acceleration and local processing of 802.1x authentication
•    Automatic detection, classification, and containment of rogue access points
•    Proxy mobile IP and proxy DHCP with roaming cutover times of 2-3 milliseconds between APs and WLAN switches
•    Adaptive Radio Management (ARM)
•    RF-Live
•    Redundant WLAN switch arrays using VRRP
•    Automatic RF fault tolerance VRRP
