Motorola Mobility has launched WT24004 (Workgroup Terminal), enhancing the
capabilities of its Passive Optical LAN solution.Â
Motorola’s WT24004 reduces network complexity by
consolidating Passive Optical LAN connectivity in applications with a high
concentration of end users and IP-enabled devices, such as wireless access
points, security badge readers and security cameras.Â
Motorola’s WT24004 is a rack-mounted modular workgroup
terminal providing up to 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It is designed to support a
full range of advanced data, IP voice and IP video services over a converged
fiber-based LAN.
The WT24004 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) which is
important as many IP-enabled devices, such as wireless access points, are
deployed in areas where local power is not readily available.Â
The WT24004 POL portfolio enables Motorola to create value
for enterprises by further simplifying LAN deployment at a dramatically lower
total cost of ownership (TCO) over traditional LAN architectures.Â
Motorola’s POL and WT24004 suit the needs for most high-density-Ethernet
deployment environments found in health care, financial services, campus,
government agencies and military applications.
“While the majority of our customers require four port
work group terminals directly at the desktop, the WT24004 serves as a ideal fit
for those higher density requirements in labs, conference areas, and wherever
above-ceiling devices need to be accommodated in larger numbers. As an early
adopter of the WT24004 and a reseller of Motorola’s POL solution, SAIC
recognizes the value of this high-density, modular workgroup terminal, and we
look forward to offering it to our customers,” said Shaun Harker, Business
Development Manager, Passive Optical LAN Product Team, SAIC.
“Motorola’s cost disruptive POL solution provides IT
organizations the ability to dramatically improve TCO, while greatly
simplifying LAN deployment and operations. The high-density WT24004 is
another step in improving deployment economics over that of traditional LAN
architectures,” said Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president and general
manager, Network Infrastructure Solutions, Motorola Mobility.
