Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controllers
The Cisco
®
5500 Series Wireless Controller is a
highly scalable and flexible platform that enables
systemwide services for mission-critical wireless in
medium to large-sized enterprises and campus
environments. Designed for 802.11n performance
and maximum scalability, the 5500 Series offers
enhanced uptime with the ability to simultaneously
manage 250 access points; superior performance
for reliable streaming video and toll quality voice;
and improved fault recovery for a consistent
mobility experience in the most demanding
environments.
Features
Optimized for
next-generation wireless
networking,
the 5500 Series offers improved mobility and
prepares the business for the next wave of mobile
devices and applications. The 5500 Series supports
a higher density of clients and delivers more
efficient roaming, with at least nine times the
throughput of existing 802.11a/g networks.
The 5500 Series automates wireless configuration
and management functions and allows network
managers to have the visibility and control needed
to cost-effectively manage and secure their wireless
networks. As a component of the Cisco Unified
Wireless Network, this controller provides real-time
communication between

access
points
, the
Cisco Wireless Control System
(WCS),
and the
Cisco Mobility Services Engine
to deliver
centralized security policies, wireless intrusion
prevention system (IPS) capabilities, award-winning
RF management, and quality of service (QoS).
