Designed for organizations with virtualization initiatives, and for small to medium enterprise deployments, the Virtual Wireless Controller offers:

  • Centralized wireless network visibility and control for up to 200 branch locations
  • Ability for IT managers to configure, manage, and troubleshoot up to 3000 access points and 32000 clients via FlexConnect
  • Secure guest access, rogue detection for Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, and in-branch (locally switched) Wi-Fi voice and video
  • Reliable connectivity with the Cisco FlexConnect solution for branch network
  • Protection of access points connected to remote controllers from branch WAN failures; wireless clients remain connected with access to local resources

The Virtual Wireless Controller is a part of the complete Wireless Controller family, all offering:

  • The flexibility to centrally configure wireless policy, management, or security settings on remote access points through centralized provisioning and management.
  • Wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) capabilities
  • Centrally-defined policy enforcement across wired and wireless networks and integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine
