The W-6000 controller chassis is enabled with 
pluggable W-6000M3 controller modules (up 
to four modules per chassis), hot-swappable 
redundant power supplies (up to three per 
chassis) and a hot-swappable fan tray. Each 
W-6000 controller chassis can support up to 
2,048 campus access points (APs) - 512 campus 
APs per W-6000M3 controller module. Located 
in the distribution layer or in the data center, the 
W-6000 Mobility Controllers manage complex 
and processing-intensive authentication and 
encryption, virtual private networking (VPN), 
Layer 2-3 networking, Policy Enforcement 
Firewall (PEF), Adaptive Radio Management 
(ARM), and the RFProtect
 Spectrum Analyzer 
and Wireless Intrusion Protection capabilities.
The wireless LAN configuration is virtualized and 
implemented in cost-effective 802.11n access 
points (APs) at the access layer. Dell Networking 
W-APs can move user traffic to the 6000 
Mobility Controllers through secure IP tunnels 
over a public or private transport network, and 
locally bridge at the access layer, depending on 
the end user application or traffic forwarding 
requirements set forth by IT administrators. 
Clustering and centralized management allow 
large enterprise networks with hundreds 
of Mobility Controllers to be managed and 
maintained with minimal staff. In addition, 
the Dell Networking W-Series AirWave 
Wireless Management Suite (AWMS) helps 
provide unprecedented control for IT staff 
through historical reporting and real-time 
troubleshooting.
