WC7520
Reliable, Secure and Scalable Wireless Controller for Mid-sized Businesses,
Schools and Hospitals
The NETGEAR ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller WC7520 offers a high-performance and
fully-featured Wireless LAN architecture to meet the demands of medium-sized businesses,
schools, and hospitals with up to 1,500 users and more. Focusing on ease-of-use, the WC7520
Controller simplifi es wireless deployments and network management with best-in-class wireless
reliability, coverage, and performance. The scalable WC7520 Controller enables businesses
to grow their wireless network as needed with a dramatic return on investment, with optional
licenses that support their changing needs. Via licensing upgrades, the ProSafe Wireless
Controller scales up to 50 access points (AP) and can support next generation IEEE 802.11n
APs. For larger deployments, the WC7520 Controller is stackable up to three units, supporting
up to 150-APs, including controller redundancy. Meeting the next generation needs of larger
installations, the WC7520 Controller delivers central wireless management, integrated wireless
mobility, robust top-end security and rich converged services such as L2/L3 fast roaming, guest
access captive portal and Voice over Wi-Fi support. Built to last, the WC7520 Controller is
backed by a Lifetime Warranty and delivers enterprise-class connectivity and secure wireless
LAN functionality.

Scalable Architecture
The WC7520 Controller comes with IEEE 802.11a/b/g support and is upgradable to IEEE 802.11n
with WC75NL license. The WC7520 Controller natively supports 20 APs and is upgradable in
10-AP increments up to a total of 50 APs via WC7510L licenses. Stackable up to three controllers,
a WC7520 Controller stack can support 150 access points with a single interface. Importantly, the
WC7520 offers redundancy for always-on reliability and peace of mind.

Centralized Management
Deployed as an overlay on the existing wired network infrastructure, the NETGEAR ProSafe
20-AP Wireless Controller simplifi es the network management by providing a single point of
management for the entire wireless network. Easy to set up, the WC7520 Controller discovers
all supported access points in the network, even across VLANs and subnets. Once identifi ed, the
access points are provisioned to dependent access points in minutes. Building fl oor plans can be
used to visualize live coverage and heat maps of the wireless network.

Robust Security
With identity-based security features such as support for RADIUS, Active Directory and internal
or external AAA server, NETGEAR ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller truly unifi es wired and
wireless access without compromising on security. Management VLAN is confi gurable and up to
8 security confi guration profi les (SSID, 802.11i security, VLAN, ACLs, radio parameters) can be
active. Rogue AP detection permits rogue APs classifi cation (friendly or hostile). Standard RADIUS
compliance enables support for third-party authentication and billing system implementation.
Scheduled wireless on/off times permits the wireless network to be completely unavailable
during specifi ed non-business hours.

Guest Access, Captive
Portal and Logging
Portal and Logging
Guest access allows restricted access to the network, using an integrated captive portal. Two
methods of entry are provided, either assisted or self certifi ed. In the assisted model, the receptionist
can create a user name and password for guests in the GUI and the WC7520 Controller hosts a
captive portal where guests can enter their pre-confi gured credentials to gain access to the network.
Alternatively, the WC7520 Controller hosts a guest portal where guests can register themselves
before entering the network. Backend VLAN policies ensure restricted access to guests, prohibiting
them any access to the sensitive data on the corporate network. Guest activity logs are available.
