Cisco wireless controllers streamline the administration of Wi-Fi environments by unifying the deployment and administration of wireless APs, maximizing Wi-Fi performance by reducing the impact of RF congestion, enhancing Wi-Fi uptime with fast auto-failover, and hardening security by detecting cyber threats and filtering traffic content based on client type and location.

Cisco's wireless controllers integrate with Cisco's Prime Infrastructure and DNA Center management solutions and are able to support as many as 6,000 Wi-Fi APs and 64,000 client users. Cisco's family of Wi-Fi controllers are available at price points and with capabilities appropriate for venues that run from branch offices to service provider systems, enterprises, and dense campus environments. Cisco's Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 controllers and APs are designed to deliver the same level of security, performance and robustness that users are accustomed to in their wired network. Cisco's technology incorporates integrated mobility support such as IP voice, HD video, and secure guest access. Cisco's Prime Infrastructure and DNA Center architecture make it possible for organizations to build environments that integrate wired and wireless networks into a centrally managed solution that delivers a consistent and productive work environment.

Cisco 9800 Series 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Controllers
Cisco Catalyst 9800 family of Wi-Fi 6-supported wireless controllers help you manage modern wireless networks that support 802.11ax APs. 802.11ax, popularly known as Wi-Fi 6, builds on prior generation 802.11ac (called Wi-Fi 5) appliances by delivering lower latency and more predictable performance, supporting higher client user density, providing greater protection, conserving energy for battery-dependent mobile devices, and offering more flexibility for handling the latest kinds of Internet-of-Things endpoints. Catalyst 9800 line wireless controllers feature always-on availability with transparent software updates, hot fixes, and the ability to add APs without service interruption. Advanced cybersecurity features include Cisco Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), image signing, and Software-Defined Access. Streaming telemetry allows you to monitor and understand network and endpoint health. All devices in the Catalyst 9800 line are based on Cisco's IOS XE Software and operate with Cisco's DNA Center (DNAC) or Prime Infrastructure management tools. Cisco's Catalyst 9800 wireless network controllers can support Cisco Aironet 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2 wireless APs concurrently with Catalyst 9100 Series Wi-Fi 6 APs.

The 3504 Wi-Fi controller can handle up to 150 WiFi access points and 3,000 users, offers 4 Gbps throughput, and supports 4,096 VLANs. Cisco's 3504 wireless controller includes a multi-gigabit Ethernet port and four 1-Gigabit Ethernet connections. Access points can be connected directly to the controller through two PoE ports. The 3504 wireless controller features fast failover for access points and clients, which allows high availability for applications. As with other current Wave 2 wireless controllers from Cisco, the 3504 model has the built-in ability to work with Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Mobility Services, and Cisco 5520 and 8540 WLAN controllers.

Cisco 5520 Wireless Controller Integration ConsultingCisco's 5520 WiFi Controller, offered in a 1 rack unit (RU) enclosure, is designed for midsize to large organizations and campus networks and can be used in centralized, distributed, and mesh architectures.

Wave 1 Cisco WiFi Network Controllers
Wireless LAN Controllers Configuration and Support ConsultingCisco wireless controllers cut the effort and cost required to deploy, monitor, and operate Wi-Fi networks by offering single-point control of functions like setting up access points, enforcing single-point policies throughout wired/wireless networks, supporting enterprise-wide Quality of Service (QoS) for voice and video, monitoring and optimizing system health, implementing security capabilities to defend against cyber break-ins and Distributed Denial of Service threats, and managing IPv6 clients. Cisco has developed wireless LAN controllers for organizations of all sizes and can provide standalone desktop controllers, modular plug-in wireless controllers for Cisco ISR routers and switches, and switches with integrated wireless network controllers.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module Consulting ServicesCisco's Wave 1 WiFi LAN controllers incorporate Cisco CleanAir tools to minimize RF interference and create self-optimizing wireless networks for maximum 802.11n and 802.11ac throughput and protection. Built-in Apple Bonjour Gateways permit discovery across WLAN, LAN and WAN for Apple applications. For high availability (HA), Cisco wireless LAN controllers allow wireless access point and client stateful failover by permitting a backup HA wireless controller to synchronize with a main wireless controller for access point license tabulation, CAPWAP keys, and AP CAPWAP state. In case the primary controller fails, thousands of access points and clients can failover immediately to the backup wireless controller.

Cisco's Wireless Controller Module for ISR Routers with UCS-E provides basic 802.11n and 802.11ac support for Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series routers deployed by smaller organizations and branches. This affordable and expandable solution can handle from five to 200 APs and as many as 6000 wireless clients. (To find out about Progent's remote and on-premises consulting and troubleshooting support for Cisco routers, refer to Cisco router configuration and management services.)
