Motorola's (News - Alert) WiNG 5 WLAN offers a simpler, more cost-effective way to support business-critical voice, video and data applications by enabling access points “AP” to locally enforce security policies, provide quality of service “QoS” and mobility, and intelligently forward traffic directly along optimal paths to avoid controller bottlenecks. And with the broad selection of access points and flexible network configurations from Motorola, users get the network they need with less hardware to buy.

Craig Mathias, principal with the wireless and mobile advisory firm Farpoint Group has said that the Motorola's new WiNG 5 architecture provides an unprecedented degree of flexibility, especially in the critical control plane functions that ultimately determine the performance, reliability and security of enterprise-class wireless LANs today.

Joe Griffin, chief technology officer of Keller Independent School District has said that Motorola's 802.11n WLAN has been instrumental in enabling them to deliver reliable access to their students and teachers, and they are eagerly awaiting the new WiNG 5 WLAN architecture so they can further strengthen their networks and continue to reduce our IT maintenance expenses.

Bob Sanders, senior vice president of Motorola Solutions has opinioned that they offer customers a less complicated, more cost-effective way to maximize the performance of their 802.11n networks, to leverage a more flexible architecture that meets their changing infrastructure needs, and to deliver a quality of experience that meets the expectations of today's professional user.

The WiNG 5 WLAN solution is now available globally on the RFS 4000 integrated wireless services controller and the AP 650 access point. Soon the architecture will also be extended to RFS 6000 and RFS 7000 wireless controllers and the AP 6511, AP 7131 and AP 7181 access points.
