Award-winning RFS7000-GR becomes industry’s first wireless switch/controller certified to meet both Common Criteria EAL4 and FIPS 140-2 Level2 requirements for federal and government markets
The Enterprise Mobility Solutions business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced that its RFS7000-GR wireless switch/controller has received Common Criteria EAL4 certification. Having undergone rigorous testing at Aspect Labs and SERTIT, Motorola’s wireless switch/controller is the only such solution validated at both FIPS 140-2 Level2 and Common Criteria EAL4 with the U.S. Government Wireless LAN Access System Protection Profile for basic robustness environments.
The RFS7000-GR is part of Motorola’s award-winning family of high-performance, multi-core processor-based wireless LAN (WLAN) switch/controllers targeted at large enterprise and government wireless deployments. As these certifications extend to Motorola access ports, customers can build highly secure wireless LANs that are Common Criteria EAL4 and FIPS 140-2 compliant from the mobile user’s handset to the access port and to the RFS7000-GR switch/controller.
”Recent attempts to breach sensitive government networks indicate the need for federal agencies and governments to continually evaluate their wireless LAN infrastructure security,” said Thom Rubel, practice director, IDC Government Insights. “Particularly as government agencies grow their reliance on mobility applications, it is important they consider wireless LAN technologies designed to ensure business continuity and certified to meet federal security requirements.”
Motorola’s RFS7000-GR is highly scaleable, supporting up to 12,000 adaptive 802.11a/b/g/n access points (AP) and is capable of providing Wi-Fi coverage for up to 96,000 users when operating in a cluster configuration. With best-in-class security and unmatched reliability, it offers significant cost savings when compared to wired Ethernet networks. The RFS7000-GR provides customers with an extensive feature set, intuitive configuration and management settings, and zero-port licensing. It offers federal, state and local agencies the highest level of network resilience with self-healing and clustering capabilities that help ensure wireless connectivity in all corners of the organization. By leveraging the RFS7000-GR to manage their wireless LANs, government agencies can offer end-to-end security and resilience at a much lower cost than wired or wireless equivalents. They can do this while remaining confident that their network meets the most excessive wireless security requirements as validated by FIPS 140-2 Level2 and the latest Common Criteria EAL4 security certifications.
The RFS7000-GR supports both access ports as well as dependent and independent access points so government agencies have the flexibility of deploying an end-to-end Common Criteria EAL 4 and FIPS 140-2 Level2 assured solution that meets their wireless mobility and security needs today and in the future. By implementing an 802.11i Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP) client in users’ mobile devices, IT departments can ensure Common Criteria EAL4 and FIPS 140-2 compliance from the mobile users’ handset to the access port to the wireless switch/controller. By providing flexible licensing, the RFS7000-GR allows pervasive deployments from small and medium to very large government organizations.
When it comes to wireless network security, Motorola’s RFS7000-GR exceeds current government requirements by including a comprehensive suite of security features, including integrated MAC-based authentication, wireless intrusion detection, AAA/Radius server (WPA2-CCMP termination on the box), wireless Layer 2-7 stateful firewall, secure guest access and integration with Motorola AirDefense Wireless Intrusion Prevention System. By combining these robust security features with FIPS 140-2 Level2 and Common Criteria EAL4 certificates, Motorola’s RFS7000-GR offers government agencies across the world the opportunity to leverage the latest in wireless networking technologies while remaining confident that the voice, video and data applications running on their wireless LANs are protected from outside threats.
”Governments worldwide have to be confident that the wireless networks they trust can survive the most extreme security threats,” said Jim Mears, vice president and general manager, U.S. Federal Government Markets, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. “Motorola has purpose built its products to allow any organization, whether government or private enterprise, to carry-out their mission with the most secure WLAN infrastructure available in the industry.”
Motorola offers a comprehensive portfolio of wireless solutions designed to enable the truly wireless enterprise — from large enterprises with locations all over the world to branch offices and small businesses. Delivering wireless coverage both indoor and outdoor — Motorola's innovative wireless enterprise portfolio includes fixed broadband, mesh, enterprise wireless LAN and Motorola AirDefense wireless security solutions. With time-proven resiliency, security and performance equal to or greater than that of a wired network, Motorola’s solutions substantially reduce network deployment and maintenance costs, and ensure the availability of cost-effective wireless connectivity in every corner of the enterprise. The result is the truly wireless enterprise — offering full mobility at a fraction of the cost of a traditional wired network.
