Cisco 5700 Series Wireless LAN Controllers
Optimize Performance for Campus Wireless Networks
The Cisco 5700 Series Wireless LAN Controller is designed for 802.11ac performance addressing the throughput demand of media-rich mobile applications. Ideal for mid-to-large campus networks, the 5700 Series can be deployed in converged access mode, as well as centralized mode to provide higher resiliency and advanced Cisco IOS-based services like QoS.
The first model in the new 5700 Series, the Cisco 5760 Wireless LAN Controller, is designed for mid-to-large campus deployments and offers:
- Wire-speed 60 Gbps throughput with advanced network services per controller
- Support for up to 1000 access points and 12,000 clients per controller
- Scalable architecture with seamless roaming across 72,000 access points
- High resiliency with N+1 clustering, Multiple LAG, and redundant power supplies
- Cisco IOS-based wireless controller with features such as Flexible NetFlow, Advanced QoS, downloadable access control lists, and more
Cisco® Wireless Controllers help reduce overall operational expenses by simplifying network deployment, operations, and management. Extending the same Cisco Borderless Networks policy and security from the wired network core to the wireless edge, Cisco Wireless Controllers deliver the industry’s most scalable and highest- performing controller solution. These controllers provide unique network security and optimization for IPv6-enabled mobile clients, and next-generation hotspot functionality― from branch offices, to small enterprises, to main campuses and service providers. Cisco Wireless Controllers support systemwide functions to deliver:
- Flexibility to configure wireless policy, management, or security settings at any time through centralized provisioning and management
- Faster response to business needs by centrally managing wireless networks
- Standardized access point configuration for software versioning
- Wireless intrusion prevention system (wIPS) capabilities
- Networkwide quality of service (QoS) for voice and video across wired and wireless networks
- Networkwide centralized security policies across wired and wireless networks
- Industry-leading mobility, security, and management for IPv6 and dual-stack clients, equipping administrators for IPv6 troubleshooting, planning, and client traceability from a common wired and wireless management system Cisco options for wireless integrated switches and routers provide cost-effective support for converged networks that integrate wireless connectivity. Integrated platforms lower hardware costs, simplify remote management, and offer flexible configurations that can reduce the total cost of operations and ownership
