Product Overview

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6860 is a high-performance and highly available switch with unparalleled features in Quality of Service (QoS), mobility, programmability, and security, making it ideal for network edge deployments. The OmniSwitch 6860 series enables seamless user and device mobility through high integration between wired and wireless LANs.

This series includes support for next-generation wireless LAN standards, Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac wave 2, and hybrid uplink speeds up to 100G. With best-in-class 95W IEEE 802.3bt compatibility, the OmniSwitch 6860 switch is ready for the latest PoE and IoT devices, enabling rapid access for everything from high-definition PTZ cameras to Wi-Fi 6 access points.

The OmniSwitch 6860 series is the industry's first product to offer application monitoring and network analytics visibility, enabling it to meet the evolving business needs of enterprise networks.
These switches operate on widely deployed and field-proven Alcatel-Lucent Operating Systems (AOS), providing programmability, industry-leading network automation, and maximum investment protection.

These versatile LAN switches can be placed in the following locations:
• Edge of large and medium-sized enterprise converged networks
• Aggregation layer
• Core of small enterprise networks
• Data centers for GigE server connectivity and SDN applications
