D-Link meets evolving network demands of medium-to-large enterprises with Unified Wireless Controller

September 2015 by Marc Jacob

D-Link is providing highly scalable and easy-to-deploy wireless access management with the launch of its Unified Wireless Controller (DWC-2000). Ideal for use in education, hospitality and many other medium-to-large enterprise environments, the centralised Wireless LAN manager allows users to manage up to 64 wireless access points per controller. This is upgradable to 256 access points as network demands evolve .

With the ability to manage up to a maximum of 1,024 wireless access points in a controller cluster, the device is a cost-effective solution for medium to large-scale deployments. These include university campuses, hotels, multi-floor and multi-building office environments.

The Unified Wireless Controller puts enterprise-class networking right at the fingertips of network administrators thanks to sophisticated management features and straightforward deployment.

Set-up takes minutes using the easy-to-use Setup Wizard interface. It can automatically discover compatible D-Link Wireless Access Points, add them into the managed access point list, and set one-time configuration dispatch settings. This eliminates the need to execute large or complex configurations.

For businesses such as hotels or retail spaces that need to offer free or paid wireless networks to large numbers of guests concurrently, integrated guest management features make it easy and safe. From account generation and user monitoring to session extension, the features simplify guest wireless network management. They also provide control over factors such as the bandwidth and the resources that temporary accounts can get access to.

Security features are at the top of the agenda for many businesses. This controller provides robust and comprehensive wireless security, helping to block potential attacks from unauthorised users and appliances. The integrated Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) detects rogue access points, rogue clients, and can anticipate wireless threats to prevent potential breaches. This is coupled with the device’s Captive Portal feature. It can block clients from accessing the network until their identification has been confirmed, to bolster the robust security parameters.

Additionally, the wireless controller has self-organising, self-optimising and self-healing technology, adding extra layers of robustness to the wireless network. This is combined with maximum 4+4 wireless controller redundancy and AP provisioning, which automatically switches the AP management from the failed controller to the backup in emergency situations. This way, your network will never let you down.

To get the visibility that network administrators need, a dashboard displays real-time monitoring of access points. Plus, customisable widgets allow network resources to be efficiently managed and optimised thanks to at-a-glance insights.
