2 bintec WLAN Solutions

Wireless network technology is everywhere you look, and businesses are no excep-tion. The flexibility and mobility that wireless local area networks (WLANs) provide make them attractive choices for companies of all sizes.

Wireless devices such as smartphones and tablets are rapidly becoming standard tools of business. Their popularity is making wireless networks a “must” for many companies. Access to business-critical applications and date from any location on mobile devices can provide a competitive business advantage, contributing to the success of the entire organization.

Due to the increasing number of wireless devices such as smart-phones and tablets, wireless networks are a “must” for many companies today.

Wireless mobility – powerful, scalable, and secure

Set up a wireless LAN and get set for growth with bintec WLAN technology

Company wireless networks (WLANs) serve as an extension of the local area net-work (LAN), enabling access to company data across the entire campus. WLANs can also be set up in cases when cabling would be too complicated or impractical due to constraints imposed by facilities. When your employees can work with greater flex-ibility and mobility, the entire company’s productivity will benefit. Systems for wire-less inventory, production management, and IP telephony are just a few of the many new options wireless networks make available.

Due to changing user behavior in recent years, wireless LAN design has evolved from traditional solutions which placed a single access point in individual rooms to become comprehensive networks that provide complete coverage for the entire corporate campus. Planning, commissioning, and monitoring this type of network is of course much more demanding of both the technology involved and the exper-tise of the IT department.

The bintec WLAN Controller represents a whole new dimension of convenience and efficiency in wireless LAN infrastructure administration, helping you set up and closely monitor your wireless network or your customers’ networks.

3Wireless mobility – powerful, scalable, and secure

Scalable hardware for any size wireless network

We created the bintec WLAN Controller to satisfy the unique requirements of small and medium-sized enter-prises.

Our top development priorities were ensuring the product is intuitive and economical to use. No special training is necessary to operate the software. The concept uses stan-dard bintec routers for the Controller hardware, eliminat-ing the need to design and manufacture dedicated WLAN Controller devices.

Simple, secure, and cost-efficient.

The bintec WLAN Controller lets you configure a wire-less network in under 30 minutes. And the best part is, you don’t have to be an expert to do it.

Our automatic RF (radio frequency) Management Sys-tem finds available wireless channels, saving you time. It then selects the channels that will enhance the perfor-mance of the system as a whole. The included monitoring features provide a quick yet comprehensive overview of the system so you can immediately detect any threat to the network.

For large installations with more than 72 access points, an RXL-series router is required. In this case as well, the RXL router can assume additional responsibilities. In order to increase opera-tional stability, an additional RXL-router can be configured as a backup WLAN Controller. By adding a redundant power supply (bintec PSU), even greater reliability can be achieved.This configuration is suitable for large campus networks like those found at public institutions such as schools and clinics.

For installations with up to 72 access points, a bintec RXX02-series router (such as the R1202) is required to serve as a WLAN Controller. Here as well, the WLAN Controller requires a license for activation.

This solution is also especially suitable for use in larger offices, warehouses, and hotels. It should also be used when additional router features are required in addition to the WLAN Control-ler functionality.

For installations with up to six access points, no additional WLAN Controller hardware is necessary. The WLAN Control-ler is run on one of the access points, which is then referred to as the master access point. But the master access point still func-tions as a regular access point as well. The WLAN Controller is activated by installing a license on the master access point. This type of setup is especially cost-effective, making it ideal for small offices or warehouses that only require a handful of access points.

For installations with up to 12 access points, a bintec RS rout-er (such as the RS123/RS353) is required to serve as a WLAN Controller. Here as well, the WLAN Controller requires a license for activation. Thanks to the excellent performance of the bintec RXX02 line, the router can perform additional tasks in addition to running the WLAN Controller. For campus networking, for instance, features such as the bintec HotSpot, VLAN separation of SSIDs, bandwidth limitations for individual SSIDs, and the router’s firewall functionality are very useful. This solution is also especially suitable for use in medium-sized offices, warehouses, and hotels. It should also be used when routing features beyond the functionality provided by the WLAN Controller is required.

Easy plug-and-play installation

Factory-new access points are automatically recognized by the bintec WLAN Controller and can be added to the wireless network with just a few clicks. To aid in identify-ing the access points, each can be assigned a description based on its location. You can add to or modify your ex-isting configurations and roll them out to every managed access point in a matter of seconds.

Automatic wireless cell planning

The bintec WLAN Controller simplifies time-consuming radio cell planning for you. When you install your wire-less network, the WLAN Controller will work in concert with the access points to determine the best channel by considering the signal-to-noise ratios and field strengths of the surrounding access points. Depending on the op-erating mode, the bintec WLAN Controller can also in-dependently determine the correct channel spacing for interference-free operation. For 802.11gn networks, for instance, a channel spacing of four channels in the 2.4 GHz band is always maintained, such as channels 1, 6, and 11. Experienced administrators are, of course, still free to create their own channel plans.A wizard helps you install the WLAN Controller in just five simple steps. The wizard has been consciously kept simple and asks you very straightforward questions.

Step 1: Here you can determine whether you would like to work with the DHCP server included with the WLAN Control-ler or whether you would like to use an external DHCP server.

Installing and running the bintec WLAN Controller

Step 2:

Here, you determine whether you would like your WLAN network to operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, or both.

Step 3: Here you specify the network names (SSIDs) for your wireless network. You can specify up to eight SSIDs. You also specify the wireless security in this step. Of course you can choose between WPA2 Personal (WPA-PSK) and WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x).


Consider a wireless network with multiple access points that is not using a WLAN Controller. Now, one of the ac-cess points goes off-line. In the case that the access point is completely unavailable, the clients connected to the ac-cess point that went down will be immediately connected to a different access point that is operational. When ac-cess points are overlapping, a failure of this type can often go undetected for a considerable length of time. The per-formance of the network, however, will be considerably degraded in the area where the access point went down.

In an unmanaged network, this can be a critical problem. If an access point does not go down completely and only has a defective LAN cable, for instance, the WLAN cli-ents will still attempt to connect to the access point. Some wireless clients will be able to access the LAN and others will not.

What happens if there is a malfunction?

Step 4:

Now you will see a convenient listing of all the access points which have been detected. Ideally, you would enter location descriptions for each device in this step.

Step 5: In this step, the automatic RF (radio frequency) manage-ment is initiated, which automatically assigns channels. Next, the configuration is rolled out to the access points and saved. This concludes the installation and your wire-less LAN is now operational.

After completing the initial configuration using the wiz-ard, the WLAN Controller offers you the opportunity to optimize the configuration and set up comprehensive system monitoring.

If one of the access points goes completely off-line, wire-less clients are connected to the next operational access point. In contrast to the unmanaged solution, the mal-function does not remain unnoticed, however. Instead, the WLAN Controller automatically detects the problem and alerts the administrator via e-mail or SNMP trap.

If the cable has been disconnected, the access point makes multiple attempts to restore the connection. If this is not successful, the access point performs a reset and ceases transmission. Then the access point resumes attempting to connect to the WLAN Controller so it can reload its configuration. In this case as well, the administrator is notified via e-mail or SNMP trap.

In both cases, the bintec WLAN Controller enhances the stability of the wireless network through monitoring. When a cable is disconnected or damaged, the WLAN Con-troller allows the network to self-heal by powering down the access point that is malfunctioning.

How does a wireless LAN work when a bintec WLAN Controller is in use?


Continuous monitoring of the wireless LAN is essential for stable network operation. You need to keep a close watch over your network infrastructure (such as access points) as well as detect external factors that can cause problems. The bintec WLAN Controller provides numerous options for monitoring the system and determining which events will result in an alert being sent to the administrator.

The WLAN Controller gives you a strong foundation for keeping a close watch over your network infrastructure by continuously monitoring network activity and con-nectivity to the managed access points. In the event of a malfunction or an access point going off-line, it is deac-tivated immediately and the administrator is notified via e-mail or SNMP trap. The same applies to cases in which the WLAN backup controller is activated.

Trouble caused by other wireless devices in the vicinity is another aspect you need to monitor for your wireless LAN. The bintec WLAN Controller can scan channels for other wireless devices either continuously in the back-ground or at scheduled intervals. Our WIDS (Wireless Intrusion Detection System) helps you recognize poten-tial threats and limited functionality quickly.

Neighboring access point, or a ma-licious rogue AP? The WLAN Con-troller knows the difference

An access point that is run by someone else in the neigh-borhood using a different network name (SSID) does not represent a security risk. If this neighboring AP, however, is operating with a heightened field strength and using the same channel as your APs, it can impact the perfor-mance of your wireless network. In this case, you should use a different channel for the affected access point in your network. A rogue access point, on the other hand, uses the same network name (SSID) as your wireless network uses, although this access point is not managed by your own WLAN Controller. A rogue access point can be conduct-ing an attack on your network by attempting to connect to your clients and access sensitive data.

That’s why continuous wireless network monitor-ing is so important.

In addition to detecting threats (WIDS = Wireless Intru-sion Detection System), the WLAN Controller can also not only detect but prevent many types of attacks. The integrated WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Protection System) detects when a wireless client starts to behave erratically. This can involve generating frame errors or a large num-ber if invalid logon attempts. When suspicious activity is detected, WIPS will block the client for a specific amount of time. This prevents unauthorized access of access in-formation and also keeps the system from becoming overloaded.

Active Clients

There are even more ways to monitor the activity on your wireless network with the WLAN Controller. In the Ac-tive Clients list, for instance, you can see which clients are currently connected to the wireless network and how much bandwidth the clients are consuming. This type of monitoring is extremely helpful for troubleshooting high-traffic networks.

Centralized updates

Another very helpful feature allows you to plan and con-duct any necessary software updates for your managed access points from a central location. This is particularly useful after a new device has been installed. All you have to do is unbox the new access point, connect it, and start it up. Then, simply install the most recent software ver-sion for all your access points from the WLAN Control-ler.


Centralized WLAN management for branch locations

The bintec WLAN Controller opens up new management possibilities right from your own private cloud and en-sures that you can operate even the most remote access points reliably and efficiently from a central location. … and just as always, we make it easy, secure, and now, even more powerful.

WLAN Controller supports remote access via VPN

The latest WLAN Controller feature now lets you monitor wireless networks from your private cloud. Communica-tion between the WLAN Controller—located for instance at your company’s headquarters—and the managed ac-cess points at one or several branch locations takes place through VPN tunnels. Losing the connection between one AP and the WLAN Controller does not trigger an automatic restart of the ac-cess point. The AP retains its configuration and stays on-line, allowing the wireless network to remain accessible. This new Controller feature ensures APs will continue to operate, even when the connection to headquarters has been lost. The wireless network simply continues to

The WLAN Controller in the private cloud

work as usual. The access point waits until the connec-tion to the Controller is stable again to perform a restart, after which the Controller sends it the latest configura-tion. This procedure ensures that every access point, no matter how remote its location, can be managed over a VPN. Your wireless network delivers rock-solid stability while keeping all its access points updated with the most recent configuration.

It’s an ideal concept for companies that have branch lo-cations without any IT network infrastructure on-site. The branch locations don’t even need to have their own WLAN Controller—or the staff to run it.

Which nearby access point will provide the best performance?

In wireless enterprise networks, several access points are normally used to cover a large area in order to ensure seamless wireless coverage. The wireless client’s software decides on its own which access point it connects to. This is usually the access point with the strongest wireless sig-nal. bintec Client Management prevents wireless clients from connecting to access points that are already han-dling a heavy load with many clients. In this way, bintec Client Management allows for enhanced load balanc-ing while preventing individual access points from being overloaded.

What’s better, 2.4 or 5 GHz?

If you want to offer wireless connectivity to a large au-dience, a 2.4 GHz network is the best choice because it ensures older devices can connect to the network. 5 GHz networks don’t have quite the range, but they offer higher bandwidths and thus much better performance. In many cases, a dual radio access point is used which can provide both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network simultane-ously. The latest bintec access points transmit with double the power in the 5 GHz frequency range as they do in the 2.4 GHz range to compensate for the range disadvantage of 5 GHz networks. Nevertheless, many wireless clients prefer to connect to 2.4 GHz networks. bintec Client Management actively supports clients here as well, en-abling them to connect to the 5 GHz network. The client band select feature actively pushes clients to the 5 GHz network, unburdening overloaded 2.4 GHz networks.

Help, my neighbor is slowing down the wireless network

Wireless clients that use wireless technology such as 802.11g can, in the worst-case scenario, impact the per-formance of the entire network. These types of situations occur when a client is located far away from the access point and connects at a very low-speed. The client will require a disproportionate amount of time to transmit a data packet. This effect is exacerbated when there are

large number of “bad” clients on the network. Our Air-time Fairness feature distributes the available transmis-sion time evenly among all clients, thus increasing the total performance of the network considerably.

Security threats from the air interface

The bintec WLAN Controller’s integrated WIDS (Wire-less Intrusion Detection System) and WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System) provide comprehensive protection against a wide range of attacks from the air interface by continuously scanning channels in the back-ground.

How many wireless clients should you permit to connect to an access point?

In theory, an access point can handle up to 250 clients. Normally, however, far fewer clients are permitted for each access point to ensure that clients can be given suf-ficient bandwidth. Tests show that 50 clients per access point results in sufficient stability and allows for proper data transmission. It was even possible to transmit video and audio data under these conditions. To achieve higher transfer rates, we recommend a maximum of 30 clients per AP for normal office environments.

WLAN monitoring detects bottlenecks

Our WLAN Monitoring records important performance data for your wireless network. You can trace which cli-ents are generating traffic, and how much. This informa-tion is provided for the WLAN Controller, each individ-ual access point, and every radio module. The ability to conduct these types of analyses helps you to detect bottle-necks in your customers’ networks and take appropriate countermeasures.


The bintec W1003n is a universal wireless LAN access point for industrial applications. With its ability to oper-ate across a wide temperature range from -20 to +50°C, this model is an excellent choice for installations in un-heated warehouses and storage facilities. The compact and durable full-metal housing and solid construction of the device allow system designers to integrate it into other machines and equipment. Antitheft wall mounting and DIN rail mounting for equipment racks round off the flexible mounting options.

The WI1003n provides functionality that is largely equivalent to the office models in the bintec W se-ries. This AP can function as a wireless access point both in conjunction with a WLAN Controller and as a stand-alone device. In bridge mode, you can establish wireless connections to as many as 8 other bridge link nodes. The WLAN client mode is particularly well-suited for machine-to-machine links. When operating as a wireless LAN client, the WI1003n provides a special Fast Roam-ing feature. This functionality allows the device to be installed on the trolley of a bridge crane or a moving forklift.

The bintec WO series is ideal for outdoor use. The WO series is suitable for an even wider range of temperatures than the WI1003n, operating from -25° to + 70° C and qualifying it for industrial applications that involve ex-treme conditions. All connector sockets are protected against moisture and water ingress. The water-resistant N-connector antenna jacks meet the highest standards and are compatible with the bintec line of antennas. Pow-er is supplied either via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a 12 or 24 volt DC power supply. WO series models can operate both as wireless access points in conjunction with a WLAN Controller and as stand-alone devices. In bridge mode, you can establish wireless connections to as many as 8 other bridge link nodes. The WO1003n has a .11n radio module and uses MIMO 2x2. The WO2003n has two radio modules, pro-viding additional flexibility.

These models are suitable for a wide range of applica-tions including establishing high-performance bridge links over distances up to several kilometers and deploy-ing seamless wireless coverage for large outdoor areas.

Secure solutions for guest networks and BYOD applications

“Bring Your Own Device” is rapidly becoming part of the corporate landscape

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) has become a signifi-cant trend in recent years thanks to the increasing preva-lence of wireless networks. BYOD is now recognized as part of the reality of modern business communications. The increasing use of non-company devices represents a huge security challenge while at the same time present-ing numerous opportunities. It is important, however, to determine to what extent employees may use their own mobile devices for business purposes.

Regardless of whether it is an employee, customer, guest, or the chairman of the board—privately-owned wireless devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs are used for more than just e-mail. The risk of private devices caus-ing security breaches in the company network or sensi-tive data landing in the hands of unauthorized users are concerns that must be considered when planning IT ar-chitectures.

In addition to company policies and guidelines, planning is required to separate the private and business worlds in the IT infrastructure itself. The bintec WLAN Controller is ideally suited for these business-specific scenarios. You can, for instance, operate multiple virtual WLANs simul-taneously using individual SSIDs and security levels. This makes it possible to separate connections according to security criteria and cleanly categorize users.

Having separate virtual networks makes it possible to categorize users and clearly define the applicable security criteria for each connection. Thanks to this separation, guests and visitors can obtain internet access using a guest account through an organization’s WLAN infrastructure without being able to access sensitive data on the company intranet. Access rights for specific departments within the organization or positions can also be assigned.


Mobile high-speed communications in Germany’s Bundesliga

Professional sports depend on timely reporting. The new high-performance WLAN network in the Coface Arena is up to the challenge. The high-performance wireless in-ternet access for journalists covering the entire 45,000 m² of the stadium grounds is a milestone for the media. Sta-dium employees also utilize the connectivity for customer support, catering, and stadium administration work. Crucial services such as telephony and wireless payments are also provided over the wireless network. Thanks to the bintec access points and gateways from bintec elmeg GmbH in Nuremberg, the Coface Arena profits from a highly eco-nomical and powerful WLAN solution capable of han-dling large quantities of data.

Sports journalists require the best possible working con-ditions to provide up-to-the-minute reporting. And that’s of particular importance during critical times such as half-time, when all the reporters are online at once. Visi-tors to the stadium expect cashless payment options. For the stadium administration, connectivity is also a must. The demands placed on the technology: seamless and se-cure service, high-bandwidth, and an IT infrastructure that supports the required applications.

The high-performance WLAN network was deployed us-ing the 802.11n transmission protocol. A site survey was performed in advance to determine the number and posi-tion of access points. This ensured that the desired cover-age was achieved and that the applications run smoothly.

Example application

A total of over 80 bintec access points were installed in-doors and outdoors. For guests in the VIP-area and mem-bers of the media, wireless Internet access is provided us-ing the bintec HotSpot Solution.

To ensure seamless access to the Internet, high-perfor-mance RXL-series central-site VPN gateways boasting bandwidths of up to 100 Mbps were used. The BRRP protocol was used to establish a connection between the gateways, enabling redundant operation and providing high-availability and an absolutely stable system.

The bintec WLAN Controller, used in tandem with the bintec RXL12500 gateway, enables quick and easy configu-ration and monitoring for all the connected bintec Access Points in the stadium. The easy-to-use monitoring func-tionality lets administrators keep a close watch over the system and quickly detect security threats. Administrators receive e-mail alerts on their mobile phones any time a managed access point goes down.

The system is currently capable of providing secure, high-speed WLAN internet access to all the reporters in the sta-dium, even for sold-out sporting events. The entire band-width of 100 Mbps is consumed at peak usage times during the game, for instance during halftime. The performance of data networks is very important to journalists who report the latest news on professional sports events. The mod-ern IT infrastructure at the arena also enables extremely efficient services and administrative processes for FSV Mainz 05, both during and after games.

To operate the bintec HotSpot Solution, a HotSpot Server is required in addition to the gateway. The Server handles user administration and stores the correspond-ing data.

The HotSpot server is simply a server in the cloud that you lease from bintec elmeg. This approach is not only reduces your costs, it also minimizes the technical skills required. This leased server is located in a modern, highly available data center connected to the internet by a re-dundant backbone.

The performance of a wireless data system depends upon two major factors: the integration of the radio net-work into the general information architecture and the quality of the wireless coverage. To provide high-quality coverage throughout the entire workplace and ensure stable network operation, careful planning and proper installation are essential.

Performing a professional and detailed site survey, pref-erably before installation begins, will help you deter-mine the best locations for access points, identify sourc-es of interference and compensate for any weaknesses in the wireless network.

As a manufacturer and developer of wireless LAN sys-tems for professional solutions of all kinds, bintec elmeg GmbH utilizes state-of-the-art measurement procedures and calculations together with an unparalleled wealth of real-world knowledge. With our services, we strive to pro-vide maximum precision so you can achieve the best pos-sible results — and of course, we also work in cooperation with your local IT vendor.

The location you need the best wireless network per-formance is not always the best spot to install an access point. Luckily, there is a simple solution: an external an-tenna. For access points with external antenna ports, bin-tec elmeg offers a range of external antennas. You’re sure to find antenna that meets your requirements.

The portfolio includes patch antennas, omnidirectional antennas, dual band antennas, and dual polarization antennas. Take the 5 GHz dual polarization antennas, for instance: they’re specially designed for use with two 802.11n devices, which are then able to transmit two streams at once. These high-end antennas can optimize the spatial coverage of your wireless LAN or extend the length of bridge links, matching your system to the requirements of your site.

A professional site survey will determine where the best locations for antennas are.

The bintec BridgeLink Bundles use modern 802.11n technology with two streams and what is known as dual

p ol ar i zat ion antennas to achieve high transfer rates. This makes it easy to connect remote loca-tions that have a line-of-sight to one anoth-

er. The BridgeLink Bundle includes in addition to the bintec W2003n-ext access point all required cables and a very compact 11 dB antenna. The antenna provides excellent transmission rates at distances of up to 800 m. For distances of up to several kilometers, this antenna should be replaced with a 20 dB/5 GHz dual polariza-tion antenna (item number 5500000551).
