EDGECORE Wireless Access Controller EWS5204

EDGECORE Wireless Access Controller, The Edgecore EWS5204 is an enterprise-grade wireless LAN controller that provides establishments such as hotels, universities, or even complete municipalities with a comprehensive set of managed Wi-Fi features at a competitive license-free price point.

With AP management, user authentication, policy assignment, traffic shaping, firewall features, and much more all packaged into a single box, the EWS5204 provides network administrators with a reliable, easy-to-use, and centralized management console for an entire organization’s wireless network infrastructure.

The EWS5204 is capable of managing up to 1,000 ECW/ECWO-series Wireless Access Points and can be directly integrated with Edgecore’s Switches, all of which can be deployed and configured easily by anyone, including non-wireless savvy users.

For example, automated AP discovery prevents network administrators from having to go through the hassle of individually adding and configuring each access point. Access points as well as connected Wi-Fi devices can then be monitored and managed from a centralized point, with extensive logging & reporting features to assist in troubleshooting and maintenance.

As Wi-Fi-enabled handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets become ever so prevalent in our daily lives, businesses and network operators alike are faced with a mind-boggling dilemma – how to simultaneously address the needs of BYOD (Bring Your Device), manage Wi-Fi users, and maintain network service quality for mission-critical applications.

Edgecore’s EWS5204 is designed exactly with these requirements in mind, and with a total cost of ownership that satisfies even the most price-conscious, organizations are guaranteed to receive an unmatched ROI on their wireless LAN infrastructure.
