WLAN Controller for Large Enterprises - Up to 640 APs

DG-WS6108

Key points
Unbeatable Price/Quality Ratio WLAN Controller

The Data General DG-WS6108 WLAN Controller is designed for high-speed WLAN networks, providing seamless management without the need for architecture or hardware changes. It can be deployed in both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks to communicate with access points effortlessly.

By default, the DG-WS6108 manages up to 32 wireless APs (or 64 in-wall APs), with the capacity to scale up to 320 APs (or 640 in-wall APs) through a license upgrade. This makes it a flexible and cost-effective solution for growing network environments.

  • Permanent license (no renewal needed)
  • License for 32 APs (64 APs in wall) included
  • WiFi 6 certified WLAN controller
  • High-availability virtual AC technology
  • Secure guest WiFi via virtual AP.
  • PPSK enterprise authentication
  • High-density WiFi optimized through Pre-AX, CorrectLink and AirReorder features
  • Free cloud service with wireless optimization by AI
