Wireless LAN controller supporting up to 64 standard APs or 128 in-wall APs with no license required. Ideal for hotels, campuses, offices, and scalable WiFi deployments.
DG-WS7005 Wireless LAN Controller – License-Free Centralized Management for Up to 128 APs
The DG-WS7005 is a powerful and cost-effective wireless LAN controller from Data General, designed to provide centralized management and control for medium and large WiFi deployments—without the complexity or cost of software licenses.
One of the DG-WS7005’s key advantages is its license-free architecture, allowing organizations to scale their wireless networks without recurring fees. The controller supports up to 64 standard access points or up to 128 in-wall access points, making it an ideal solution for environments with a high number of rooms or distributed indoor installations.
The DG-WS7005 enables unified configuration, monitoring, and optimization of the wireless network from a single platform. By centralizing AP management, it simplifies deployment, reduces operational overhead, and ensures consistent performance, security, and policy enforcement across all connected access points.
This controller is especially well suited for hotels and hospitality environments, student residences, office buildings, hospitals, schools, and enterprise campuses, where large numbers of access points must be managed efficiently and reliably. Its strong support for in-wall AP architectures makes it particularly attractive for room-based deployments that require both scalability and cost control.
By combining high AP capacity, license-free operation, and centralized control, the DG-WS7005 delivers a future-ready WLAN management solution that offers excellent value for system integrators, IT teams, and organizations looking to build scalable and easy-to-manage wireless networks.
