Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch switches for business networks

We design and install LAN networks with OmniSwitch switches, from a 10-port office switch to campus, data center and industrial networks. One operating system, unified management and local support from an ALE partner.

Why OmniSwitch

One network, one way to manage it

Every OmniSwitch runs Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's AOS operating system, from small-office models to core chassis. That means the same configuration, the same security features and unified management with OmniVista, on-premises or in the cloud.

  • Zero-touch provisioning and Auto-Fabric
  • Virtual Chassis: several switches managed as one
  • PoE, PoE+ and HPoE up to 95 W for phones, Wi-Fi and cameras
  • 802.1X access control and IoT segmentation (Access Guardian)
  • OmniAccess Stellar Wi-Fi managed from the same console

Network services

From design to operations

  • Audit of your existing network and sizing
  • Design: topology, VLANs, redundancy, PoE budget
  • Installation, configuration and documentation
  • Gradual replacement of older switches, including other vendors
  • OmniAccess Stellar Wi-Fi and firewall security
  • Maintenance, monitoring and support
Wi-Fi

Wired and wireless, together

OmniAccess Stellar access points are powered by OmniSwitch switches over PoE and managed from the same OmniVista platform. The same access rules apply whether a user connects by cable or over Wi-Fi.

Frequently asked questions

About OmniSwitch switches

Which switch do I need for an office with 50 users?

Typically a 48-port PoE switch from the OmniSwitch 2360 or 6360 range, possibly two in a stack for redundancy. The final choice depends on how many IP phones, cameras and access points need PoE and on the uplink speed to your servers.

Does OmniSwitch work with Cisco, HPE or other vendors' equipment?

Yes. OmniSwitch uses standard protocols (802.1Q VLANs, LACP, STP, OSPF, 802.1X), so it can be integrated into an existing network and gradually replace other vendors' equipment.

What is PoE and why does it matter?

Power over Ethernet powers IP phones, Wi-Fi access points and video cameras through the network cable, with no extra power outlets. OmniSwitch models offer PoE, PoE+ and, on selected models, HPoE of up to 95 W per port.

Do you have switches for industrial or outdoor environments?

Yes. OmniSwitch 6465 and 6865 are fanless, DIN-rail industrial switches resistant to vibration and interference; the OmniSwitch 6865 operates from -40 °C to +74 °C.

Can the switches be managed from the cloud?

Yes. Many OmniSwitch models can be managed from the cloud with OmniVista Cirrus or on-premises with OmniVista, together with the OmniAccess Stellar Wi-Fi network.

Telephony on the same network

Alcatel-Lucent phone systems and IP phones work best on OmniSwitch switches with PoE.
