Wave 1 Cisco Wireless Network Controllers
Wireless LAN Controllers ConsultantsCisco wireless LAN controllers reduce the time and cost needed to configure, monitor, and operate Wi-Fi networks by centralizing control of critical functions like provisioning APs, enforcing consistent policies across converged wired and wireless LANs, supporting enterprise-wide QoS for IP voice and video, tracking and optimizing system performance, implementing security capabilities to guard against cyber break-ins and DDoS attacks, and managing IPv6 clients. Cisco has developed wireless LAN controllers for businesses of all sizes and can provide standalone desktop appliances, modular add-on controllers for Cisco routers and Catalyst switches, and switches with built-in wireless LAN controllers.

Cisco Wireless Network Controller Module Consulting ServicesCisco's Wave 1 WiFi network controllers include Cisco CleanAir tools to avoid RF interference and produce self-healing wireless networks for top 802.11n and 802.11ac throughput and security.
