LANCOM WLC-2000
Centralized Wi-Fi management of large wireless networks
Do you want full control with a low workload? As a central Wi-Fi controller, the WLC-2000 gives you exactly that. Networks of 25 to 2,000 access points are easily managed and controlled centrally. New access points are automatically put into operation in the network via zero-touch deployment and supplied with suitable configurations. In operation intelligent features such as roaming optimization and the selection of the best frequency band and Wi-Fi channel ensure optimum utilization even in complex wireless networks. The LANCOM WLC-2000 thus saves the administrator time and provides the user the best Wi-Fi experience.
Central firmware rollout, monitoring & management
The LANCOM WLC-2000 centrally cinfugures and manages up to 2,000 access points , so relieving the workload on network administrators and bringing massive time savings. WLAN controllers ensure uniform network control, security, and reliability.
Zero-touch deployment
Quick and easy network integration of new access points as well as automatic configuration rollout – without the need of manual configuration. After network authentication, the LANCOM WLC-2000 immediately sends an appropriate configuration to the access point.
Integrated Public Spot XL Option
Thanks to the integrated hotspot functionality, the LANCOM WLC-2000 is ideal for providing public Internet access for visitors, customers or other short-term network users. The user benefits from a secure and convenient hotspot and the hotspot provider can be sure that his own network remains securely separated.
VLAN-, RADIUS-, and IEEE 802.1X/EAP features
Thanks to extensive virtualization and security features, wireless networks can be set up efficiently and compliant to the proprietary security policies. The integrated VLAN functionality enables the separation of several wireless networks in only one infrastructure. Furthermore, there are professional security functions which allow the administrator to grant network access only to authorized clients.
Maximum future viability
LANCOM products are designed for a service life of several years and are equipped with hardware dimensioned for the future. Even reaching back to older product generations, updates to the LANCOM Operating System family are available several times a year, free of charge and offering major features.
Highest operational reliability
The LANCOM Smart Controller principle ensures the highest operational reliability: While the administrative data is routed through the controller, client payload data is sent directly from the access point to the router. If a controller fails, the access point switches to “stand-alone mode” and the communication between the client and access point remains intact. This avoids downtimes during everyday business due to employees losing access to the network or the failure of WLAN-controlled production facilities.
High availability
Combined with the LANCOM High Availability Clustering Option, multiple WLAN controllers are grouped into one highly available device group. In this way, configuration changes, features and enhancements made on one WLC are automatically exchanged between the other WLCs in the cluster: Not having to make manual changes on each individual device means massive time savings for administrators.
