Deployment Recommendations

The Cisco Mobility Express is an integral part of the Cisco Smart Business Communications System
(SBCS), and comprises the mobility solution tools, including the WLC526 controller and Cisco 500
series access points. All elements of the SBCS share intuitive GUI-based management tools (such as
CCA, Cisco Smart Assist, and Cisco Monitor Director) for quick and easy network setup and network
management. These solutions reduce the time and effort required by small and medium businesses
(SMBs) to install and operate their network, thus allowing them to focus more time on their core
business.
As a targeted solution for small and medium businesses, Mobility Express and SBCS are not designed
for mid-market and enterprise deployments. Use
solution for your business.
