Centralized WiFi management for scalable and high-performance wireless networks
The WiFi Controllers & Cloud Management category brings together the core platforms used to centrally manage, monitor and optimize professional WiFi deployments.
Whether deployed through dedicated hardware controllers or cloud-based management, these solutions provide full visibility and control over access points, users, traffic and network policies, ensuring consistent performance across the entire wireless infrastructure.
Why centralized WiFi management matters
Managing WiFi networks from a single platform allows IT teams and integrators to:
Configure and deploy access points efficiently
Ensure fast and seamless roaming between APs
Monitor network performance and client behavior
Apply security policies consistently
Scale networks without increasing operational complexity
This category is designed for business-critical environments where stability, performance and control are essential.
Hardware WiFi Controllers
Hardware controllers are the preferred choice for medium to large deployments where fast roaming, low latency and maximum reliability are required.
DG-WS7005 – Compact hardware controller
Supports up to 64 access points without license
Supports up to 128 wall-mount access points
Ideal for small to medium networks, hotels, offices and retail
On-premise control with optimized roaming performance
DG-WS7110 – High-capacity hardware controller
Supports up to 512 access points with license
Supports up to 1024 wall-mount access points
Factory-installed license for 32 standard APs or 64 wall-mount APs
Designed for large enterprises, campuses, hospitals and high-density environments
Delivers faster roaming transitions compared to cloud-only solutions
Hardware controllers provide real-time decision making, reducing roaming delays and ensuring a smooth user experience, especially in environments with frequent client movement.
Cloud-based WiFi Management – Data General WIS Cloud
For customers who prefer not to deploy on-premise hardware, Data General WIS Cloud offers a flexible and cost-effective alternative.
Free cloud management platform
No licenses required
Unlimited access points
Centralized configuration, monitoring and maintenance
Ideal for distributed networks and multi-site deployments
WIS Cloud delivers excellent functionality and reliability. However, due to its cloud-based architecture, roaming transitions between access points may be slightly slower compared to hardware controllers, particularly in high-mobility or high-density scenarios.
Hardware controller vs Cloud management
Choosing the right management platform depends on the deployment requirements:
Hardware controllers
Best for environments where fast roaming, low latency and real-time control are critical.Cloud management
Ideal for customers seeking simplicity, zero licensing costs and remote access, with excellent performance for most standard business use cases.
Both options integrate seamlessly with Data General access points, allowing you to select the management model that best fits your project.
Built for professional WiFi deployments
All controller and cloud solutions in this category are designed to support:
Enterprise-grade WiFi infrastructures
High client density and roaming environments
Secure authentication and traffic management
Long-term scalability and network growth
The WiFi Controllers & Cloud Management category provides the foundation for stable, secure and future-ready wireless networks, whether managed locally or from the cloud.
