In today’s mobile economy, small to midsize businesses share many of the same wireless networking needs as a large business. Employees, business partners, and customers need and expect the same high-performance enterprise-class wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity — a WLAN that offers the wired-style speeds required to maximize network efficiency and rock-solid security, with around-the-clock dependability, automated network tuning, and self-healing. And just like large businesses, small to medium-sized businesses need the network analytics and tools to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the WLAN and all its connected devices.

The VX 9000E offers the agility a growing business needs. Using cloud-based technology, the VX 9000E can be deployed at the company Network Operations Center (NOC) or on a hosted server. With the VX 9000E, fast-growing businesses will be able to change and upgrade the network quickly, from expanding an existing office or warehouse space at the same location, to acquiring multiple locations across the country. The VX 9000E provides network flexibility and simple scaling, supporting various network topologies and hierarchical management, accommodating up to 1,024 access points.
With WiNG Express, you don’t need to understand advanced configuration options to get your network up and running. Easy site setup and intuitive auto-provisioning policy allows easy multi-site deployments. Just power up your access points to automatically discover and provision your access points with the predefined configurations. Your enterprise-class WLAN is ready to go in minutes.
When it comes to remote site deployments, the VX 9000E supports up to 128 access points with no need for local controller appliances and they will be fully site survivable in the event of a lost WAN connection to the VX 9000E, ensuring users will still have network access. No local IT staff is needed to configure locally. Simply install the APs, and when they are powered on, they will be automatically configured with the latest firmware and location policies, and brought on-line. It’s that simple!
As your business continues to grow, your needs may scale a remote site beyond 128 access points, but with WiNG Express’s hierarchical management, the NX 5500E can be added to that remote site and managed by the WiNG Express VX 9000E. This expands your remote network capabilities to support more access points, more users, and more devices with seamless migration and management without re-architecting the network and requiring new training. This is the investment protection and return on investment that midsize businesses expect.
WiNG Express presents the volumes of information about your access points and their radios, all of your WLANs, and all of the mobile devices connected to your WLANs in easy-to-understand screens that make it easy to monitor and manage every aspect of your enterprise-class wireless network.
