MXR-2 Mobility Exchange - intelligent WLAN controller
The Trapeze Mobility Exchange® (MX®) family of intelligent WLAN controllers provide the platform for Trapeze Smart Mobile™ wireless networks.
Smart Mobile™ is the only WLAN architecture with intelligent switching, which combines both centralized and distributed data forwarding based on the requirements of the underlying application. Operating in conjunction with Trapeze Mobility Point™ (MP™) access points and Mobility System Software™ (MSS™), MX controllers can offload policy enforcement and data forwarding to the MPs, resulting in optimized traffic flow, radically reduced latency, and massive scalability.
Smart Mobile WLANs can support the most demanding wireless applications indoors and outdoors, including voice over WLAN for thousands of users, and are 802.11n ready without the need for expensive controller upgrades. MX controllers are available in multiple models to meet the entire range of enterprise WLAN needs, from small branch offices to large data centers, at the lowest total cost.
Branch Office WLAN Controllers
The MXR™ family is the latest generation of branch office WLAN controllers from Trapeze Networks. Designed for branch office, retail store and small business applications, the MXR family enables seamless and secure deployment of enterprise class wireless networks over any existing L2/L3 network without disruption. Despite its small form factor and low cost, the MXR family supports the same feature set as all of the Trapeze WLAN controllers. The Trapeze RingMaster™ planning and management suite enables MXR controllers to obtain their configuration locally or from a remote location, with automatic no-touch deployment and remote configuration and management capabilities - all of which require no onsite expertise.
The MXR-2™ WLAN controller features 2 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports, one of which provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and supports up to 4 MP access points.
The MXR-2 combines L2 Ethernet switching, statefull LAN-speed per user and per service firewalls, wireless intrusion protection, 802.1Q trunking and per VLAN spanning tree (PVST+), complete wired to wireless quality of service (QoS), and automated RF management. Clusters of MXs called a Mobility Domain™ service provide seamless roaming, intrusion protection and RF management over the largest single site wireless LAN deployments. A Network Domain™ interconnects and distributes Mobility Domains to span wide geographic regions with secure, seamless mobility applications and Smart Mobile services.
