Cisco Cisco Aironet 1522 Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point Guía De Diseño

The Cisco WCS provides a graphical platform for wireless mesh planning, configuration, and 
management. Network managers can use Cisco WCS to design, control, and monitor wireless mesh 
networks from a central location.

With Cisco WCS, network administrators have a solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, 
network optimization, troubleshooting, user tracking, security monitoring, and wireless LAN systems 
management. Graphical interfaces make wireless LAN deployment and operations simple and 
cost-effective. Detailed trending and analysis reports make Cisco WCS vital to ongoing network 
operations.

Cisco WCS runs on a server platform with an embedded database. This provides scalability necessary to 
allow hundreds of controllers and thousands of Cisco mesh access points to be managed. Controllers can 
be located on the same LAN as Cisco WCS, on separate routed subnets, or across a wide-area 
connection.

Multiple, geographically dispersed Cisco WCS management platforms can be cost-effectively and easily 
managed by the Cisco WCS Navigator. Cisco WCS Navigator supports up to 20 Cisco WCS management 
platforms with manageability of up to 30,000 mesh access points from a single management console. 
Together, Cisco WCS and Cisco WCS Navigator provide a wireless LAN management solution for even 
the largest enterprise environments and outdoor deployments.
