Simplify and Unify Enterprise Wired and Wireless Networks with Optical LAN powered Tellabs FlexAir

Tellabs FlexAir™ combines wireless access points, cloud-based intelligent management, and our world renown Optical LAN for a simplified and unified enterprise network solution.

Carrollton, Texas. March 1, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Tellabs, the leading provider of Passive Optical Network (PON) solutions, announces the availability of Tellabs FlexAir™ that delivers enterprise wireless Access Points (AP), and cloud-based intelligent controller, that achieves the best possible network performance, reliability and security with Passive Optical LAN.

  • One common architecture speeds IT operations
  • Improved network performance and user experience
  • Stricter network security across combined networks
  • Least disruptive path to future wireless generations

Targeting indoor and outdoor enterprise business Wi-Fi needs, Tellabs FlexAir offers an optimized solution for challenging wireless enterprise-grade environments using APs from industry-leading manufacturers:

  • Indoor 2×2 Wi-Fi 6 AP – This enterprise AP offers concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi 6 indoor access point. It supports 2×2:2 uplink and downlink MU-MIMO between the AP and multiple clients, with up to 1.7Gbps aggregated data rate.
  • Indoor 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 AP – This business AP provides concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi 6 indoor access point. It supports 4×4:4 uplink and down link MU-MIMO between the AP and multiple clients, with up to 2.9 Gbps aggregated data rate.
