Access Controller Overview

Introduction

The H3C WX5004 Access Controller is a new-generation wireless access controller product developed
by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (referred to as H3C hereinafter) based on the updated
multi-core CPU platform. Compared with the WX5002, the previous-generation access controllers, the
WX5004 has two more groups of Combo ports, allowing for more flexible user configurations. Besides,
the WX5004 also provides an expansion slot, where you can insert a card of a different type as needed
in the future. This provides not only strong processing capability but also flexible system configuration
schemes. In terms of reliability, the WX5004 uses pluggable power supply units (PSU). Thus, you can
choose to use double PSUs for high reliability or use a single PSU for economical sake.
