ZyXEL Zyxel NXC5500 Wireless Controller Smart WALN controller and advanced functions
With the rapidly increasing demand for Internet connections for mobile devices, highly scalable WLAN and centralized management have become necessary for wireless device deployment. Zyxel''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s new generation WLAN controller NXC5500 can flexibly expand the network to meet different deployment requirements, has excellent AP compatibility, and the NXC5500 can centralize WLAN management to reduce additional costs. NXC5500 is an easy-to-use network solution that can be extended to hotels, educational institutions, chain stores, and small to medium-sized enterprises to meet their specific needs.
Ultimately scalable, real-time resource allocation
Scalability enables Zyxel NXC5500 to centrally manage up to 512 access points. NXC5500 can also help administrators to automatically discover and manage APs without detailed configuration within a few minutes.
Unmatched performance and capacity
The next-generation WLAN controller NXC5500 is equipped with 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling high bandwidth and flexible deployment. It can support up to 16,000 concurrent devices without affecting performance. With high performance and scalability, NXC5500 ensures a powerful network in which one person is equipped with multiple devices in modern networks.
Uninterrupted Wi-Fi service
The massive demand for wireless connections has increased the unpredictable changes in the wireless LAN environment. In order to reduce the impact of these unpredictable changes, the NXC5500 has an automatic repair function that detects the status of neighboring APs and automatically adjusts the power of the APs to provide persistent network services. If an AP fails to operate normally, nearby APs will increase their output power to cover the blank area. Once the AP is restored, nearby APs will automatically reduce their output power.
Adaptable and flexible Wi-Fi deployment
The NXC5500 ZyMESH function helps deploy Wi-Fi coverage in areas where cable extension is difficult. In addition, each repeater AP has multiple routing options to provide highly flexible and uninterrupted Wi-Fi service. In the past, administrators had to assign channels and MAC addresses to each AP to establish WDS links to extend Wi-Fi services. Now the NXC5500 controller ZyMESH can easily auto-discover and centrally manage.
Wireless network optimization and enhanced RF management
A major challenge facing all wireless networks is to ensure that Wi-Fi customers get the level of service they need. The difficulty is that there are different types of Wi-Fi clients in the network, and these users often have their own connection and roaming settings. The client side turns to enable the NXC5500 to provide the maximum performance of the network through band segmentation and thresholds for client signals. As more mobile devices are used, wireless network requirements become more important. The client switch will fully match the Wi-Fi client. The threshold of the client signal makes the access point of the transmission device have a stronger signal. With these functions, users can confidently optimize Wi-Fi performance.
Integrated access management
NXC5500 provides flexible wireless user authentication methods for different users. For example, in order to reduce the inconvenience of logging in to mobile devices without a keyboard at school, smooth access can be provided through MAC address authentication. In the hotel, front desk staff can generate dynamic customer accounts, log in to flexibly upload a custom HTML portal page, and log users into a secure network with the correct resources.
NAT penetration supports multi-site deployment
Most Wi-Fi deployments are new and are a promotion plan on top of existing networks. Zyxel NXC controller uses IEFT CAPWAP protocol to reduce this problem. In addition, the connection between the AP and the controller is usually established on different subnets, even on the Internet. The advanced technology used by Zyxel''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s NXC controller can easily traverse the NAT gateway to ensure a highly reliable connection to the WLAN network.
Stop wireless edge threats to mobile device security
Zyxel NXC5500 wireless LAN controller and managed AP can help enterprises solve the wireless security problems of BYOD. They can prevent the company''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s network and resources against incoming threats from Internet devices. The monitoring mode of rogue APs includes detection and containment to ensure that rogue APs are prevented. The built-in firewall of the NXC5500 can perform status detection of data streams and reject the arrival of illegal data packets from mobile Internet devices. With the security of multiple networks, NXC5500 can provide the most powerful protection at the edge of wireless networks.
Well-designed Wi-Fi site survey and location tracking
In large-scale or campus Wi-Fi deployment, it is necessary to find the best location for the installation of AP optimization services. NXC5500 partner Ekahau provides on-site survey and real-time location tracking（RTLS）, To better help site selection and speed up deployment.
