NXC5500
Wireless LAN Controller
With demand for Internet connection of mobile devices growing rapidly, high scalability WLAN
and centralized management become necessary for wireless device deployments. ZyXEL's next-
generation WLAN controller, the NXC5500, is capable of extending networks flexibly and fulfilling
different deploy requirements with excellent AP compatibility; and the NXC5500 can centralize
WLAN management to reduce extra efforts. The NXC5500 is easy to use and scalable for hotels,
education institutions, chain stores as well as small- to medium-size enterprises to configure
network solutions that meet their specific needs.
Benefits
Ultimate scalability, instant provisioning
The great scalability allows ZyXEL NXC5500 to manage up to 512 access points centrally,
and the NXC5500 also helps administrators to make auto provision without exhaustive
configuration for each AP within few minutes.
Unmatched performance and capacity
The next-generation WLAN controller NXC5500 is equipped with 6 Gigabit Ethernet
ports, enabling both high bandwidth and flexible deployments. It can support up to
16,000 concurrent devices without compromising performance. With high performance
and scalability, the NXC5500 ensures robust networking for modern networks where one
person is equipped with multiple devices.
Non-stop Wi-Fi services
The large demand of wireless connection increases unpredictable changes in WLAN
environments. To reduce the impact of these unpredictable changes, NXC5500 has Auto
Healing feature that detects status of neighbor APs and adjust AP power automatically to
provide enduring network services. If an AP is not functional, the nearby APs will increase
output power to cover the void area. Once the AP outage recovers, the nearby APs
decrease output power automatically.
