INTCOMEX - Premiere distributor of a wide range of computer products

Product description

The HPE A3000G Wireless Switch series is a wireless unified switch that integrates both the wireless controller and the 1000 Mbps Ethernet switch functions. The A3000G series switch provides 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, each supporting a maximum power of 25 W, PoE+ (draft), and IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n APs, while delivering unified wired and wireless access control functions. This relieves the transmission bottleneck at the core of a WLAN network. The A3000G series switch is suitable for small- and medium-sized enterprise networks, as well as braches of large enterprise networks that require both wired and wireless access services.

Product features

Automatic radio power adjustment
Automatic AP power adjustment features analyze user access status in real time, adapting power requirements based on environmental changes and providing high-quality user access signal coverage.
Automatic radio channel adjustment
Intelligent channel switching and real-time interference detection provide the allocation of a high-quality channel to each AP, reducing adjacent channel interference.
Load balancing
Intelligent load-sharing analyzes the locations of wireless clients in real time, providing high-quality client throughput regardless of location or number of online sessions.
Enterprise network management
Is supported by the web-based, enterprise-class HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) network management platform and Wireless Service Management (WSM), which effectively integrate traditionally disparate management tools into one easy-to-use interface.
Secure controller management
Securely manages the controller from a single location with IMC or any other SNMP management station; controller supports SNMPv3 as well as SSH and SSL for secure CLI and Web management.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
Synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time.
IEEE 802.3at draft Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support
Simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the time and cost involved in supplying local power at each access point location.
IEEE 802.11h International Telecommunication Union (ITU) compliant
Employs Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to automatically select another channel and adjust transmit power to reduce interference with systems such as radar, if detected on that same channel.
Loopback
Supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability; loopback detection protects against incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis for added flexibility.
Built-in 802.1x and portal authentication servers
The A3000G series provides a built-in IEEE 802.1x authentication server that supports multiple IEEE 802.1x authentication modes, such as TLS, PEAP, and MD5; the A3000G series also provides a built-in portal server that can authenticate users having no security authentication client installed; both features are economical and easy-to-use solutions for small to medium-sized enterprise networks.
Flexible forwarding modes
The A3000G series supports both distributed forwarding mode and centralized forwarding mode, allowing you to set SSID-based forwarding types as needed; in a wireless network of centralized forwarding mode, all wireless traffic is sent to an AC for processing.
High performance
Robust switching capacity and wire-speed processing provide powerful forwarding capacity for medium and large enterprise-size wireless LANs (WLANs).
Secure Shell (SSHv2)
Uses external servers to securely log in to a remote device; with authentication and encryption, it protects against IP spoofing and plain text password interception; increases the security of SFTP transfers.
Secure user isolation
Virtual AP services enable the network administrator to provide specific services for different user groups, improving bandwidth and system resources and simplifying network maintenance and management.
Secure access by location
Location AP-based user access control helps ensure that wireless users can access and authenticate only to preselected APs, enabling system administrators to control the locations where a wireless user can access the network.
Secure access control by user
Media access control (MAC)-based and IEEE 802.1x network access control centralize wireless security through existing Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers to protect the network from unauthorized user access.
Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD)
Integrated wired and wireless EAD helps ensure that only wireless clients who comply with mandated enterprise security policies access the network, reducing threat levels by infected wireless clients and improving the overall security of the wireless network.
