Enabling a Secure and Reliable
Wireless Enterprise in Mediumto-Large Deployments
The Brocade® Mobility RFS6000 Controller
empowers wireless enterprises by providing
an integrated communications platform
that delivers secure and reliable voice,
video, and data applications. Based on an
innovative architecture, the Brocade Mobility
RFS6000 provides a fully featured best-inclass WLAN solution with integrated Layer 2
switching with integrated Power over
Ethernet (PoE) ports, Quality of Service (QoS)
mechanisms for multimedia applications,
and onboard DHCP and RADIUS server.
Advanced functionality includes mesh,
high-availability, clustering, and end-to-end
security features.
The enterprise-class Brocade Mobility
RFS6000 provides the tools to simplify and
minimize the costs associated with day-today management of mobility solutions. Its
underlying architecture helps unify
management of network hardware, software
configuration, and network policies—and
includes comprehensive built-in process
monitors and troubleshooting tools.

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND RESILIENCY
The Brocade Mobility RFS6000 features a
multicore, multithreaded architecture
capable of supporting from 2000 to 20,000
mobile devices and up to 256 Brocade
Mobility 802.11 a/b/g Access Points (APs)
per controller.

FASTER ROI
The Brocade Mobility RFS6000 provides
built-in enterprise-class services such as
security, voice, performance, and resiliency
at no additional cost to make mobility work
even better. 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 costeffective approach to 24×7 security.
