Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar AP1521
WLAN Access Points - Indoor Wi-Fi 7
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess® Stellar AP1521 Wi-Fi 7 Access Point (AP), provides high-efficiency, high-performance 802.11be aggregate data rates up to 12.2 Gbps across the 6GHz, 5GHz and 2.4GHz band. Wi-Fi 7 technology supports a higher density of clients, delivers more capacity for bandwidth-hungry and latency-sensitive applications, and provides a dependable secure network for Internet of Things (IoT) devices while increasing their battery powered lifespan. The OmniAccess Stellar WLAN portfolio brings unparalleled experience in connectivity, coverage and performance for the modern, IoT-connected enterprise.
The Wi-Fi 7 premium OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 is designed to accommodate the very dense and high-capacity needs of next-generation mobility and IoT-enabled networks. The access point is powered with five built-in radios, three radios 2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz serving high-density Wi-Fi clients, one full band radio dedicated to scanning for improved network security and Wi-Fi quality and an integrated Bluetooth/Zigbee radio enabling the growing needs of enterprise IoT connectivity for powering location and building automation services. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 series supports a maximum aggregate data rate of 12.2 Gbps (688 Mbps in 2.4GHz, 5.76 Gbps in 5GHz, 5.76 Gbps in 6GHz). The access point provides one 10GE Power over Ethernet (PoE) uplink and one GE uplink/downlink. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 supports 802.11be features, which include Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDMA), Downlink Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (DL MU-MIMO), Uplink Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (UL MU-MIMO), 4096 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation mode (4096-QAM) and more, making tomorrow's diverse digital workspaces highly reliable and efficient. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 features enhanced WLAN technology with RF Radio Dynamic Adjustment, a distributed control Wi-Fi architecture, secure network admission control with Unified Access and built-in application intelligence and analytics, making it ideal for enterprises of all sizes that demand a simple, secure and scalable wireless solution.

802.11be high-efficiency features
IEEE 802.11be allows enterprises to deliver high-performance wireless LAN services with increased throughput, enabling more clients in dense environments and bringing power efficiency to IoT devices, while it remains fully backward compatible with existing 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax deployments. The 802.11be standard is a dramatic step forward in wireless LAN technology for all organizations. Some of the key 802.11be features enabled on OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 include:
· MLO: A Wi-Fi technology that enables devices connected to a Wi-Fi AP to simultaneously send and/or receive data across different frequency bands and channels. MLO is one of the many core features added in Wi-Fi 7 that help enhance the user experience. The deployment flexibility rendered by MLO is key to addressing SLAs of next-generation user applications.
· OFDMA: Enables more clients to simultaneously operate in the same channel, thereby improving efficiency, latency and throughput. OFDMA can concurrently address multiple clients in both directions DL and UL), including OFDMA Resource Units (RUs). OFDMA is very effective in environments where there are many devices with short frames demanding lower latency.
· Multiple non-contiguous RU allocations per client: Allows for increased RF spectrum utilization efficiency and reduced interference impact on bandwidth
· MU-MIMO: Allows more data to be transferred at once and enables an access point to handle a larger number of concurrent clients
· 4096-QAM: Boosts peak data-rates by as much as 25 percent · Transmit beamforming: Improves signal power, resulting in significantly higher rates at a given range
Deliver enterprise-grade security and scale with simplicity
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 enables a visionary distributed Wi-Fi architecture with centralized management and policy control. This enforces security at every step starting at the network edge and allows unparalleled scale in network capacity. This architecture is vital for enabling the next generation of digital enterprise that demands business agility, seamless mobility and secure IoT-enabled infrastructure empowering business transformation through continuous innovation.
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 provides enhanced security with WPA3, a new security standard for enterprise and public networks, improving Wi-Fi security by using advanced security algorithms and stronger ciphers in enterprises including the 192-bit security suite. Public spaces which provide open non-protected access can now deliver encryption and privacy using OmniAccess Stellar, which supports a new security standard Wi-Fi Enhanced Open based on Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE).
The APs can be deployed in three different modes, all through a single version of software simplifying IT operations.
For mid- to large-scale enterprises, the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® Network Management System provides secure plug-and-play APs for large scale deployment, with user friendly workflows for wireless services and unified access for end-to-end security. It comes with integrated unified policy authentication manager (UPAM) which helps define authentication strategy and policy enforcement for employees, guest management and BYOD devices. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 has built-in DPI technology providing real-time application monitoring and enforcement capabilities. The network administrator can obtain a comprehensive view of applications running in the network and apply adequate controls to optimize the performance of the network for business-critical applications. OmniVista provides advanced options for RF management, wireless Intrusion Detection System/ wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIDS/wIPS) and heatmaps for WLAN site planning. To further simplify IT, the APs can be managed as one or more access point groups (a logical grouping of one or more APs).

Cloud-enabled with OmniVista Cirrus Network Management as a Service
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 can be managed by the OmniVista Cirrus cloud platform. OmniVista Cirrus powers a secure, resilient and scalable cloud-based network management platform. It offers hassle-free network deployment and easy service rollout with advanced analytics for smarter decision making. OmniVista Cirrus also provides IT-friendly unified access with secure authentication and policy enforcement for users and devices.
On-premises deployment with OmniVista 2500 Network Management System (NMS)
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 can be managed on-premises from the OmniVista 2500 NMS.
For small to medium-sized enterprises, Wi-Fi Express provides secure web-managed (HTTPS) cluster deployment.
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521, by default, can operate in a cluster architecture to provide simplified plug-andplay deployment. The AP cluster is an autonomous system that consists of a group of OmniAccess Stellar APs managed by one AP that is elected as the primary virtual manager. One AP cluster supports up to 255 APs.
The AP cluster architecture ensures simplified and quick deployment. Once the first AP is configured using the configuration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will come up automatically with an updated configuration. This ensures the whole network is up and functional within a few minutes.
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 also supports secure zero-touch provisioning with the OXO Connect R2 which provides a mechanism by which all APs in a cluster will obtain bootstrap data securely from an on-premises OXO Connect.
W-Fi Express mode supports role-based management access to the AP cluster which includes Admin, Viewer and GuestOperator access. GuestOperator access simplifies guest account management and can be used by any non-IT person such as a front desk worker or receptionist. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 also supports a built-in, customizable captive portal, which enables customers to offer secure and seamless guest access experience.
Quality of service for unified communication apps
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 supports fine-tuned, quality of service (QoS) parameters to differentiate and provide appropriate QoS for each application such as voice, video and desktop sharing. Application-aware RF scanning avoids interruption of real-time applications.
RF management
Radio Dynamic Adjustment (RDA) technology automatically assigns channels and power settings, provides Dynamic Frequency Selection/Transmit Power Control (DFS/TPC), and ensures that APs stay clear of all radio frequency interference (RFI) sources to deliver reliable, high-performance WLAN. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1521 can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated scanning for spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection.
