Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented this family of controllers in medium-capacity stadiums with approximately 15,000 clients, since it allows up to 20,000 and allows working with high availability and groups of controllers, expanding the number of users.the stability of the driver in these environments is quite good along with the performance and performance of the equipment. In addition, the support you have with the brand has no competition.

Pros

  • interface groups
  • ap groups
  • web authentications

Cons

  • information search filters are complicated tu use
  • using multiple captive portals natively on the controller
  • It does not have a packet capture option to natively allow an over-the-air review of a problem.

Likelihood to Recommend

This model of controller has been on the market for a couple of years now and although its performance has been good, it does not have the advantages of working with the new family of catalysts.It has had some hardware problems that, although it is immediately replaced by the manufacturer, may have momentary loss of service.
