NEW
DELHI -- Alcatel recently added next-generation WLAN
products to its range of LAN switches and IP-PBXs to
deliver the industry's most comprehensive, standards-based
wired and wireless converged mobility solutions. Leveraging
its leadership in IP telephony, data switches built
for mobility and convergence, wireless technologies
and communication applications, Alcatel delivers more
services and capabilities on fewer platforms and infrastructures
to access business applications and resources from anywhere
and at any time.
Built
upon a proven technology, Alcatel's next-gen enterprise
WLAN convergence solution offers the industry's broadest
and most secure enterprise mobility solution. It complements
its existing range of data and voice mobility offerings
that include wired dynamic and authenticated user mobility,
voice-only digital wireless systems and unified communications
applications. This range of mobile solutions allows
Alcatel to meet the diverse needs of enterprises as
they empower their mobile workforce.
Effective
today, Alcatel is offering enterprises a comprehensive
WLAN solution that delivers secure and mobile network
access. These new Alcatel products include OmniAccess
1200 access points and OmniAccess 4000 WLAN switches
and appliances. The OmniAccess WLAN product family provides

WLAN and other real-time applications and services.
Further,
supporting its WLAN convergence offering, Alcatel is
announcing its Mobile IP Touch 300 and 600 wireless
phones. Designed to meet the communication needs of
enterprises, the Alcatel Mobile IP Touch telephones
act as extensions of the Alcatel OmniPCX family of IP-PBXs
to provide access to enterprise-class communication
features and services. They utilise the IEEE 802.11b
global standard to operate as client devices on WLANs,
allowing converged mobile voice and data applications
on a single wireless infrastructure. Alcatel Mobile
IP Touch phones complement Alcatel's wide range of voice
mobility solutions allowing enterprises to choose the
solution that best fits their needs.
