The prevalence of 11n wireless networks is putting the capacity of traditional controllers to the test. Fortunately, the NXC5200 is designed to relieve the 

concerns for IT staff – the high-performance system pumps data through each virtual AP, and it can be configured to bridge locally or enter the NXC5200 

WLAN controller for better management. With this feature, the NXC5200 and the NWA5000-N Series can offload the network burden while allowing users to 

enjoy the 11n wireless performance.

Centralized administration simplifies planning significantly. The NXC5200 and the NWA5000-N Series are designed to enable easy deployment and instant 

provisioning. After carrying out a site survey, the user can place the NWA5000-N Series managed APs on the most suitable spots; the NWA5000-N Series will 

automatically look for the NXC5200 to establish connections, and then the pre-defined configuration will be applied to the NWA5000-N Series to complete 

the deployment. The NWA5000-N Series supports the 802.3af or 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard to utilize the Ethernet cable for minimized 

cabling construction. The ZyXEL NXC5200 and the NWA5000-N Series can provide simplified installation in addition to better Wi-Fi experience.

To IT administrators, one of the major concerns is to deploy a WLAN infrastructures with flexible guess access while providing internal users a separated 

secure network at the same time. The NXC5200 and NWA5000-N Series feature end-to-end guest network solutions to provide a guest account generator 

and Web authentication functions. The guest account generator allows dynamic user accounts to be created as soon as the guests check into the front desk 

for minimized IT management efforts. The Web authentication function provides an easy way to identify guest users and it also works with the embedded 

firewall policies to segregate guest traffics from the internal users to maintain a clean, safe wireless infrastructure. The ZyXEL NXC5200 and NWA5000-N 

Series can eliminate concerns for IT administrators while providing the best Wi-Fi coverage at the same time. It is an ideal and secure choice for business 

Wi-Fi deployments.
