Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Modules
Simple and secure wireless deployment and management for small and medium-sized
businesses (SMBs) and enterprise branch offices
Product Overview
Cisco
®
Wireless LAN Controller Modules (WLCMs), shown in Figure 1, supported on the Cisco
Integrated Services Routers (ISR), provide an easy to deploy, cost-effective branch office or Small
to Medium Business wireless solution. As a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the
Cisco WLCMs give network administrators the visibility and control necessary to effectively and
securely manage business-class wireless LANs and mobility services, such as enhanced security,
voice, guest access, and location services. WLCMs work in conjunction with Cisco lightweight
access points and the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) to provide centralized wireless LAN
management and monitoring.
Cisco is delivering higher scalability for the WLCMs. The modules manage 6, 8 or 12 Cisco
Aironet
®
lightweight access points and are supported on Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated
Services Routers and Cisco 3700 Series Multiservice Access Routers.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers
The Cisco WLCMs are models in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller family, which includes
standalone controllers, integrated controllers, and modular wireless LAN controllers that work in
conjunction with Cisco switches and routers.
Because the Cisco Wireless LAN controller modules support 802.11a/b/g and the IEEE 802.11n
draft 2.0 standard, organizations can deploy the solution that best meets their individual
requirements. Organizations can offer robust coverage with 802.11 a/b/g or deliver greater
performance with 5x the throughput and unprecedented reliability using 802.11n and Cisco's Next-
Generation Wireless Solutions.
