Why a Wireless Controller?
2
Helps speed up deployment:
• Easy User Interface -hiding sophisticated algorithms
• Integrated planning tools: Predicted coverage per building / floor
Helps stay connected:
• Seamless L2/L3 fast roaming
• Automatic load balancing and RF planning, incl. advanced QoS / Rate limiting
Helps enforce comprehensive
security:
• RADIUS, Active Directory authentication
• VLANs compliance, internal / external AAA server
• Captive portal and Guest access management

When the WC7520 makes senseBasic, affordable centralised wireless management
+ Basic managed wireless is required, mainly for indoor coverage
+ Multimedia content is not a primary use case
+ There are no plans to upgrade to 802.11ac
+ There are no plans to deploy managed outdoor Access Points
+ Best fit is for small and medium organisations without a high concentration of users. Examples include
• Small to mid sized hotels without a high concentration of wireless users / no conference facilities
• Primary schools, kindergarten, assisted living centres, museums where wireless traffic usage is light
7
When the WC7600 makes senseHigh performance, centralised wireless management
+ Rich multimedia content over wireless is important
+ Dedicated ‘in-room wireless’ Access Points required (WN370)
+ Deployments with a high density / concentration of wireless clients
+ Premium AP management required (WNDAP620 / WNDAP660)
+ Automated service load balancing for heavily congested areas / peak usage needs / areas of high interference allowing traffic to move from 2.4 GHz to the less congested 5 GHz band
+ Migration to 802.11ac in the future is required
+ Outdoor Access Point management is needed in the future
+ Typical customer scenarios include hotels up to 150 rooms, high schools, colleges, campus or warehouse deployments where heavy wireless traffic is expected

SKU Description Controller
WC7510L-10000S Wireless Controller License for 10 AP’s WC7520 only
WC10APL-10000S Wireless Controller License for 10 AP’s WC7600 and WC9500
WC50APL-10000S Wireless Controller License for 50 AP’s WC9500 only
WC100APL-10000S Wireless Controller License for 100 AP’s WC9500 only
WC200APL-10000S Wireless Controller License for 200 AP’s WC9500 only
Pay As You Go LicensingTalk about clear pricing and TCO
+ What is it?
+ Each WC7600 and WC9500 comes with a default 2 starter AP license
+ To manage more than 2 AP’s, you need to order at least one additional license
+ What does this mean for my network?
+ Only pay for what you need, but you do need to remember to get the appropriate number of license needed (in block of 10 APs)

Bottleneck
+ Ufasttm leverages multicast protocol rather than unicast for firmware management to aggregate file transfer to maximize available network bandwidth.
+ Algorithm falls back to unicast in network without multicast support
Reduces set-up time, increases network scalability
and improves management
Managed 3 x 3 AP
+ What is it?• Centralized management and orchestration of power and frequency of multiple WNDAP660 3x3 802.11n (450Mbps) AP’s
+ What does mean for my network?• Optimal deployment for deployments, e.g. classrooms needing reliable delivery of multi-media HD content for students in high tech learning environment
24
Rule of thumb: Design wireless network to support 30 concurrent
clients accessing HD content (4 Mbps) with 3x3 (450 Mbps) AP
Fully Distributed ForwardingImproves scalability and reduces latency

ARP SuppressionMaximizes airtime utilization
26
+ ARP Suppression stops ARP broadcast packets from taking precious airtime by suppressing ARP packets on APs that do not have the specific clients in the range

More Airtime, Better User Experience
Highly Redundant Hardware
+ Redundant Fans and Hot Swappable Power Supply on an Enterprise grade chassis
+ Maximize uptime and increase redundancy
27
Highly Redundant Configuration
+ Redundant N + 1 Stacked Configuration
+ Stack up to 3 Controllers with one backup controller
+ Maximize uptime and increase redundancy
28
Bandsteering
+ What is it?*
+ Dynamically moves clients from a congested frequency (typically 2.4GHz) onto a less congested one (5GHz)
+ What does this mean for my network?
+ Adds capacity, by reducing network congestion for more balanced network bandwidth usage
+ Clients can be instructed to only join 5GHz even if 2.4GHz capable

+ Most Active AP: Do I need to install more AP’s in this area?
+ Most Active Client: Are these clients using the network appropriately?
+ Most Active SSID: Is the traffic profile what I expected?
Captive Portal
+ Select Captive portal for wireless users to be asked for a login and password before allowing wireless network access
Secure Mobile AccessRe-authentication Timeout
+ Set “Re-authentication Timeout” to X hours after which the Wi-Fi client will be redirected to the Web authentication page again to re-authenticate.
