Features and Capabilities

The WiSM2 provides medium-sized to large single-site WLAN deployments with exceptional performance, security, and scalability to support mission-critical wireless business communications. It helps to lower hardware costs and offers flexible configuration options that can reduce the total cost of operations and ownership for wireless networks. Features include:

• Connections for up to 1000 access points and 15,000 clients
• Support for higher client density than other wireless LAN controllers
• Ability to update 500 access points at once
• Layer 3 mobility services for video, voice, guest, location, Enterprise Wireless Mesh, and teleworking
• Advanced wireless security, with Layer 1 wireless intrusion prevention system (wIPS) capabilities

Other benefits of the WiSM2 controller include:

• Roaming across wider geographic areas and the performance required for simultaneous applications
• VideoStream technology for optimized video performance
• CleanAir technology for a self-healing, self-optimizing network that avoids RF interference
