Built from the ground up to unify wireless and wired enterprise network architectures, OneEdge's single-chip design provides high-performance wireless and wired packet processing, robust security, advanced mobility and sophisticated traffic management. OneEdge's purpose-built silicon combines comprehensive features, significant performance and cost advantages over existing solutions, and enables network equipment manufacturers to quickly develop next generation Unified Access switches, WLAN switches, and WLAN appliances/controllers.

Until now, OEMs have been required to use multiple, complex silicon components to build networking equipment that fully supports integrated wireless and wired networks. Current generation products have been costly, have not offered compelling features or performance for wireless processing, and have required a long time to develop. With a single-chip architecture designed from the ground up with unified networks in mind, SiNett's OneEdge provides several significant benefits, including a dramatic increase in integrated wireless and wired datapath processing performance - 8 Gbps worst case in full duplex mode for all major functions - and a system bill of materials (BOM) which is just one third to one quarter the cost of current implementations.

In addition, the OneEdge flexible architecture supports emerging wireless standards, such as CAPWAP, and a variety of WLAN architectures - from wireless overlays to unified access switches, as well as simple, thin access points to more intelligent ones. Furthermore, advanced mobility, security and QoS features implemented in the OneEdge switch processor are requirements for building a unified access infrastructure that offers advanced WLAN services, such as voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) and location tracking.

Highlights of the OneEdge Family of Products:

Like all members of the OneEdge Switch Processor family, the SN5024 UA/WLAN Switch and the SN6004 WLAN Controller share a common silicon and software architecture platform. As a result, network OEMs can leverage their design investment and cost effectively build a complete product family covering a wide price/performance spectrum for WLAN and unified access switching products.
