Integrated Wireless Services for
Remote Offices and Small-toMedium Deployments
Supporting today’s remote office
requirements calls for tight integration
of wired, wireless, and network security
features. The Brocade® Mobility RFS4000
Controller integrates all three of these
critical networking features into a compact
and easy-to-use form factor, enabling
organizations to create resilient remote
office networks using a single platform.
The Brocade Mobility RFS4000 costeffectively extends 802.11n capabilities
to remote offices and smaller enterprises
by supporting up to 36 Brocade Mobility
Access Points (APs). The Brocade Mobility
RFS4000 also provides multiple valueadded and productivity applications. An
integrated customizable secure guest
access application with distributed or
centralized authentication allows small
enterprises and remote offices to provide

hotspot services for guests. A real-time
locationing system for Wi-Fi and RFID
provides centralized asset tracking and
monitoring. USB storage ensures seamless
software image distribution.

FASTER ROI
This best-in-class Wireless LAN (WLAN)
solution accelerates ROI by delivering
numerous advanced features without
requiring additional licenses. Redundant
wireless controllers share AP licenses,
which increases capacity without adding
incremental costs. Brocade dual-purpose
APs provide wireless traffic and dedicated
dual-band sensing, which eliminates the
need to purchase and manage a dedicated
sensing infrastructure—and provides a
greener and more cost-effective approach
to 24×7 security.
