End-to-end enterprise-class security
Protect your network and data with end-to-end enterprise-class security with support for WPA2, an integrated AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) server for authenticating users, Rogue Access Port/Point (AP) detection, Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall and more. Your network resources are safe - only authorized users are granted access to your network. With the Symbol WS2000, your network perimeter and your resources are more secure.

Easy to manage and deploy
The Symbol WS2000 offers a level of management simplicity and flexibility that eliminates the need and cost for onsite IT personnel to manage the wireless networks. Less technical onsite staff in restaurants, retail stores, warehouses and healthcare clinics can easily manage the wired and wireless network through an intuitive web-based interface and centralized management and control of Access Ports. For larger corporations deploying the Symbol WS2000 in branch offices, secure remote management capabilities (with SSH and SNMP v3 support) and auto deployment capabilities (with DHCP options) enable staff in the centralized network operations or data center to easily control and manage devices anywhere in the world. Implementation is fast and easy: the plug-and-play Symbol WS2000 automatically detects and configures Access Ports with the best channel. And tight integration with the wired network simplifies the extension of wired virtual LANs (VLANs), improving network performance as well as providing added protection against unauthorized access.

Ideal for hotspots
The Symbol WS2000 is uniquely suited for hotspots, enabling, hotels, airports, lounges, restaurants and more to offer visitors convenient anywhere anytime access to the Internet, email, and corporate applications. Support for authentication and Radius accounting enables organizations and service providers to offer secure wireless public access, either as a complimentary service, or an additional revenue stream.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The Symbol WS2000 eliminates the complexities and reduces the costs associated with deploying, managing, securing, upgrading and scaling your wired and wireless network - delivering outstanding investment protection and a lower TCO.
