Description
The ProSAFE WC9500 High Capacity Wireless Controller is a scalable, high performance WLAN solution for centralized management of up to 200 ProSAFE wireless access points in a single wireless controller. Three WC9500 Wireless Controller can stack into a single cluster to support up to 600 Access Points, with a fourth WC9500 acting as a redundant backup. The supported AP’s extends from entry level single band WNAP210/WNAP320/WN370 APs to dual band business class WNDAP360/350, and premium grade 3x3 WNDAP660/620, and outdoor WND930 AP’s, and is also 802.11ac ready.
The WC9500 Wireless Controller is easy to configure with an intuitive user interface and setup wizard, comprehensive dashboard and monitoring statistics. Flexible enough to support a few dozen laptops to several thousand tablets, it delivers enterprise grade functionality for mid to large-sized organizations, but without the cost and complexity of big IT. The WC9500 comes fully equipped with enterprise grade features such as comprehensive wireless security (WPA, WPA2, Radius, LDAP, Rogue AP protection), guest access, and full networking functionality including embedded DHCP server, VLAN on wired and wireless networks support, to full Quality of Service differentiation. Additionally, with no recurring annual license fees: Simply pay as you grow.

Highly scalable 10 gigabit connectivity
Supports up to 200 Access Points and 12,000 concurrent clients per controller; stack up to three WC9500 controllers per wireless cluster; supporting up to 600 Access Points and 36,000 concurrent clients per cluster; consists of 2x10G connectivity with SFP+ form factor; backward compatible with 1G connectivity with SFP form factor; additional 1x1G port with RJ-45 copper connectivity. -
Enterprise-grade and feature-rich deployment solutions
Layer 2 and Layer 3 seamless roaming; dynamic RF adjustments; WLAN healing for automatic RF coverage in the case of AP failure; rogue AP detection; two redundant, hot-swap power supplies (PSU) (one PSU comes with the controller; second optional PSU is ordered separately); two removable fan trays provide front-to-back cooling airflow for best compatibility with data center hot aisle/cold aisle airflow patterns. -
Ultra-fast access point discovery with Ufast
Ufast AP discovery provides super-fast AP discovery; improves reliability and shortens setup time; secured communication between AP and WC9500. -
Distributed and local forwarding
Data traffic can be forwarded to the best path without traversing the controller; eliminates controller bottleneck for high throughput 802.11n APs; intelligent tunneling with Layer 2 and Layer 3 roaming. -
Investment protection
Supports ProSAFE access points; 802.11ac-ready for future deployments; hassle-free, plug-and-replace upgrade with ProSAFE WC7520 and WC7600.
