Key Benefits
Central configuration
This new secure WLAN solution is based on the ZyXEL NXC5200 central controller and the ZyXEL 
NWA5160N managed access points that scales up to 240 access points (APs) and provides 
comprehensive wireless coverage. Real-time functions such as roaming, authentication and load 
balancing are performed on the NXC5200 while the NWA5160N functions strictly as a signal 
converter. The benefits include central configuration independent of the number of available 
managed access point as long as there is IP network available.
Zone-defense concept for solid protection
Mobile users pose more critical threats to company networks than wired users. To address this, 
the NXC5200 comes with Firewall features featuring stateful packet check to regulate data 
incoming from mobile users. In addition, by adopting license-based Intrusion 
Detection/Prevention and anti-virus functions, the NXC5200 can act as a gatekeeper on the 
network edge to block potential threats.
Full performance without concerns
The prevalence of 11n wireless networks has put the capacity of traditional controllers to the test, 
the NXC5200 is designed to relieve the concerns of IT staff. Not only does it have a 
high-performance system design, the data that flows through each virtual AP can also be 
configured to be bridged locally or enter the WLAN controller, NXC5200, for better management. 
With this feature, the NXC5200 and NWA5160N can offload the burden to the network while 
allowing users to enjoy the 11n performance.
Within business today companies continually face the challenge of providing wireless 
access to guests and mobile employees without compromising security. To address this 
situation ZyXEL has developed the Wireless LAN Controller 5000 Series comprising the 
NXC5200 WLAN Controller and NWA5160N WLAN AccessPoint. The solution is designed to 
deliver high performance 11n wireless to provide seamless mobility in medium to large 
campus and secure distributed enterprise environments.
The NXC5200 integrates ZyXEL industry-leading ZyWALL Firewall features, such as stateful 
packet inspection, to monitor data incoming from mobile wireless users. In addition, by 
adopting optional license-based Intrusion Detection/Prevention and anti-virus functions, 
the NXC5200 can also act as a gatekeeper to the wireless edge.
