Product Description:

The D-Link DWS-3024/DWS-3026 L2+ Gigabit Wireless Switches are optimized for wireless network deployment in business environments. With these devices, business can install high-performance, secure, manageable and scalable unified wired/wireless LAN switching. With combo SFP, open slots for optional 10-Gigabit connection 1, Power over Ethernet and redundant power supply (RPS) support, these Gigabit wireless switches provide enterprises with easy upgrade to next-generation 802.11n wireless LAN, simple deployment of wireless devices regardless of physical locations, and centralized management of secure wireless mobility and policy enforcement.

Core Units Controlling Entire Wireless Network.
The DWS-3024/DWS-3026 Gigabit Wireless Switches are core units that consolidate the security, manage the bandwidth and maintain the intelligence of the entire wireless network. In addition to monitoring users’ identities and maintaining their authentication as they roam, these wireless switches can configure and control all aspects of the wireless access points, including: RF channel and power management, wireless traffic segmentation, AP roaming and load balancing, rouge AP detection and AP access security.

High Performance, Easy Deployment.
Designed for distributed deployments in the wiring closet, each wireless switch can support up to 48 wireless access points. AP connection can be directly to the wireless switch ports, or indirectly through a LAN switch. With 802.3af PoE integrated into every port, these switches allow connected AP to be located at places difficult to access from AC power sources. Gigabit transmission future-proof hardware investments when the network is installed with next-generation higher-speed 802.11n wireless standard devices.

24 Gigabit Ports, No Restriction on Port Usage.
Each DWS-3024/DWS-3026 provides 24 10/100/1000BASET Gigabit ports and 4 combo SFP. Each of the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports can connect to a wireless access point, or to a wired LAN device, such as a server, a network storage device, or simply another LAN switch. The combo SFP allows for flexible fiber connection, while optional 10- Gigabit modules 1 enable bottleneck-free switch-to-switch cascading or attachment to a high-speed fiber backbone.

Scalable Expansion & Unified Wired/Wireless Deployment.
Small to Medium Enterprises (SMB) may require only one wireless switch to manage a few AP or to use for mixed wired/wireless LAN purposes. When the number of AP is augmented, up to 4 switches can be added to form a large centralized management system. With easy expansion, Gigabit speed to support next-generation high-speed AP, and L3 routing to support enterprise-wide inter-subnet roaming, the DWS-3024/3026 provide an architecture that unifies and simplifies an otherwise complex WLAN environment, readily prepare an existing network for future technology upgrades.

Authentication, Security & Power Management..
The DWS-3024/DWS-3026 provide user-based services such as virtual private group (SSID) membership, encryption type, authentication, location tracking and associated network statistics. Authorizations stay with users wherever they roam because all deployed DWS- 3024/DWS-3026 share stored information, ensuring secure access and connectivity to the right services. In addition to checking the identity of a connecting user from the switch’s local database, user authentication policies can be sent back to an external RADIUS server for complete verification. This offloading capability ensures that the wireless switch will not overload when clients are simultaneously connecting to the network.
