Cisco Wave 2 802.11ac WiFi Network Controllers
Cisco Wave 2 Wi-Fi controllers allow fast communication, provisioning, administration, analysis and debugging for Cisco Wi-Fi devices and software services. Cisco offers both physical and virtual wireless controllers for centralized administration of WiFi environments, but systems with many wireless APs typically require physical Wi-Fi controllers. New wireless controller appliances from Cisco offer major advantages in comparison to Wave 1 and earlier models including higher performance, concurrent support for 1G and 10G Ethernet, enhanced application visibility and control (AVC), and hardened, built-in security.
Cisco's 3504 Wireless Controller is an entry-level device with a desktop body and designed for smaller businesses. You can use the 3504 model in a centralized network environment such as in small branch and home-based offices managed across the wide-area network with Cisco FlexConnect, or in bridge installations where Ethernet cabling is sparse. The 3504 Wi-Fi controller can handle as many as 150 access points and 3,000 clients, offers 4 Gbps performance, and supports 4,096 VLANs. Cisco's 3504 wireless controller includes a Cisco Multigigabit interface (up to 5 Gigabit Ethernet) and four 1-GB Ethernet interfaces. APs can be connected directly to the WiFi controller through two Power over Ethernet ports. The 3504 wireless controller features fast failover for access points and users, which allows nonstop availability for applications. Like other current Wave 2 wireless controllers from Cisco, the 3504 device has the built-in ability to work with Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Mobility Services, and Cisco 5520 and 8540 wireless controllers.
Cisco's 5520 WiFi Controller, available in a 1 rack unit (RU) enclosure, is designed to support larger enterprises and campus networks and can be run in centralized, distributed, and mesh deployments.

Wave 1 Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers
Cisco wireless LAN controllers reduce the effort and expense required to deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot Wi-Fi networks by offering single-point control of tasks like setting up wireless access points, enforcing single-point policies across converged LANs, supporting enterprise-wide Quality of Service for voice and video, tracking and troubleshooting system performance, implementing security tools to guard against unauthorized access and DDoS attacks, and managing IPv6 and dual-stack clients. Cisco has designed wireless network controllers for businesses of all sizes and offers desktop or rackmount appliances, modular plug-in controllers for Cisco routers and switches, and Catalyst switches with integrated wireless network controllers.
Cisco's Wave 1 WiFi network controllers incorporate Cisco CleanAir tools to minimize RF interference and create self-healing wireless networks for maximum 802.11n and 802.11ac performance and security. Integrated Apple Bonjour Gateways permit discovery, advertisement and policy throughout the enterprise for Apple applications. For high availability, Cisco wireless controllers allow AP and client stateful failover by enabling a backup high-availability controller to synch with a main wireless controller for access point license count, CAPWAP keys, and AP CAPWAP state. If the primary wireless controller stops working, thousands of access points and clients can failover immediately to the secondary wireless controller.
Cisco's Wireless Controller Module for ISR G2 Routers with UCS-E provides basic 802.11n and 802.11ac capability for Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series routers deployed by small to medium-sized businesses and branches.
