Wireless LAN controllers simplify the deployment and operation of wireless networks and help to 
ensure smooth performance, enhanced security, and maximum network availability. Cisco wireless LAN 
controllers communicate with Cisco Aironet access points over any Layer 2 or Layer 3 infrastructure to 
support system wide wireless LAN (WLAN) functions such as: 
Enhanced security with WLAN policy monitoring and intrusion detection  
Intelligent radio frequency (RF) management  
Centralized management  
Quality of service (QOS)  
Mobility services such as guest access, voice over Wi-Fi and location services  
Cisco wireless LAN controllers support 802.11a/b/g and the IEEE 802.11n standard, so you can 
deploy the solution that meets your individual requirements. From voice and data services to 
location tracking, Cisco wireless LAN controller products provide the control, scalability, 
security, and reliability you need to build highly secure, enterprise-scale wireless networks.
