When the WC7520 make sense

13

When the WC7520 makes senseBasic, affordable centralised wireless management

+ Basic managed wireless is required, mainly for indoor coverage

+ Multimedia content is not a primary use case

+ There are no plans to upgrade to 802.11ac

+ There are no plans to deploy managed outdoor Access Points

+ Best fit is for small and medium organisations without a high concentration of users. Examples include• Small to mid sized hotels without a high concentration of wireless users /

no conference facilities

• Primary schools, kindergarten, assisted living centres, museums where wireless traffic usage is light

Advanced, performance based wireless management

• Secure, enterprise class control

• Scale from 2 to 150 AP’s

• Support up to 6000 devices

• 802.11ac ready

• Premium AP support

• Stack for redundancy / resiliency

• 10 AP incremental license

ProSAFE WC7600

15

When the WC7600 makes senseHigh performance, centralised wireless management

+ Rich multimedia content over wireless is important

+ Dedicated ‘in-room wireless’ Access Points required (WN370)

+ Deployments with a high density / concentration of wireless clients

+ Premium AP management required (WNDAP620 / WNDAP660)

+ Automated service load balancing for heavily congested areas / peak usage needs / areas of high interference allowing traffic to move from 2.4 GHz to the less congested 5 GHz band

+ Migration to 802.11ac in the future is required

+ Outdoor Access Point management is needed in the future

+ Typical customer scenarios include hotels up to 150 rooms, high schools, colleges, campus or warehouse deployments where heavy wireless traffic is expected

Bottleneck

+ Ufasttm leverages multicast protocol rather than unicast for firmware management to aggregate file transfer to maximize available network bandwidth.

+ Algorithm falls back to unicast in network without multicast support

Reduces set-up time, increases network scalability and improves management

Managed 3 x 3 AP

+ What is it?• Centralized management and orchestration of power and frequency of multiple WNDAP660 3x3 802.11n (450Mbps) AP’s

+ What does mean for my network?• Optimal deployment for deployments, e.g. classrooms needing reliable delivery of multi-media HD content for students in high tech learning environment

Rule of thumb: Design wireless network to support 30 concurrent clients accessing HD content (4 Mbps) with 3x3 (450 Mbps) AP
