The OAW-4504 is designed for small businesses and branch offices, while the OAW-4604 and OAW-4704 are
designed for medium to large enterprise or dense office deployments. These three WLAN switches can be easily
deployed as an overlay without any disruption to the existing wired network.
Advanced voice-over-WLAN features such as Call Admission Control (CAC), voice-aware RF management and strict
over-the-air quality of service (QoS) allow the OAW-4504, OAW-4604, and OAW-4704 to deliver mobile VoIP capabilities.
These switches are managed via the integrated management capability of the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Wireless Operating
System or the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista™ Mobility Manager.
Additionally, the OAW-4504, OAW-4604, OAW-4704 offer best in class, user-centric security framework to authenticate
wireless users, enforce role-based access control policies and quarantine unsafe endpoints from accessing the corporate
wireless network. Guest users can be easily and safely supported with the built-in captive portal server and advanced
network services.
The OAW-4504, OAW-4604, OAW-4704 can create a secure networking environment without requiring additional
VPN/firewall devices using integrated site-to-site VPN and NAT capabilities, split-tunneling and stateful firewall.
Site-to-site VPN support can be integrated with all leading VPN concentrators to provide seamless integration into
existing corporate VPNs

• Real time location tracking
• Quality of service, extended battery
capabilities, application layer gateway
(ALG) for voice protocols
• Allows for the real time location tracking of wireless users to enrich presence
information. Also supports location tracking of wireless asset tags throughout
t
he enterprise.
• Improves voice quality through support of QoS mechanisms such as WMM, DSCP
marking and prioritization, and connection admission control. Also improves
voice end user experience by maximizing battery lifer with protocols such as
U-APSD. Provides un-matched voice security through embedded stateful firewall.
