The Data General WS6008 WiFi Controller is designed to manage up to 224 standard access points or a maximum of 448 in-wall APs, or a combination of both in a 2:1 ratio (in-wall APs to standard APs).
With VAC (Virtual AP Controller) technology, it enhances service availability and allows the deployment of secure networks for guests and visitors through Virtual Access Points. The PPSK (Private Pre-Shared Key) security feature simplifies connection encryption for employees and staff with individual keys, eliminating the need for a shared common key.
In high-density environments, the controller enables optimized load balancing between APs, seamless roaming, and efficient traffic management using CorrectLink technology.
This AP controller is ideal for hotels, schools, small stadiums, or small university campuses, offering high performance and robust network management.
