Wireless Access Points/Bridges

The Cisco 5520 Wireless Controller provides centralized control, management, and troubleshooting for highscale deployments in service provider and large campus deployments. It offers flexibility to support multiple deployment modes in the same controller: for example, centralized mode for campus, Cisco FlexConnect™ mode for lean branches managed over the WAN, and mesh (bridge) mode for deployments where full Ethernet cabling is unavailable. As a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, this controller provides real-time communications between Cisco Aironet® access points and Cisco Catalyst® access points, the Cisco Prime® Infrastructure, and the Cisco Mobility Services Engine, and is interoperable with other Cisco controllers.

The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business. SD-Access, as part of Cisco DNA, enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities. Cisco DNA Assurance, also part of Cisco DNA, provides a single source to monitor, modify, and manage your network and application data.

Features and benefits

The Cisco 5520 Wireless Controller, optimized for 802.11ac Wave 2 performance, high scale, and enhanced system uptime, supports:

• Intent-driven programmability and streaming telemetry.
• Subsecond access point and client failover for uninterrupted application availability.
• Extraordinary visibility into application traffic, using Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC), the technology that includes the Network-Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR2) engine, Cisco's Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) capability. This allows to mark, prioritize, and block to conserve network bandwidth and enhance security. Customers can optionally export the flows to Cisco Prime Infrastructure or a third-party NetFlow collector.
• Embedded wireless Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policy classification engine that allows classification of client devices and application of user group policies.
• Deployment of guest access and Bonjour and Chromecast services in centralized deployments
• Software-defined segmentation with Cisco TrustSec® technology, reducing Access Control List (ACL) maintenance, complexity, and overhead.
• Integrated Cisco CleanAir® technology, providing the industry's only self-healing and self-optimizing wireless network.
• Simplified GUI wizard for quick setup and intuitive dashboards for monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Cisco DNA and SD-Access Wireless, as well as Cisco DNA Assurance

Cisco 6300 Series Embedded Services Access Points (ESW6300) integrate wireless mesh networking into heavy-industry and smart-city assets. Purpose-built with 802.11ac Wave 2, Cisco DNA Assurance, and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), the ESW6300 provides a dependable and secure connectivity solution in almost any work environment. Dual Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ ports provide power and downlink connectivity to smart connected devices and sensors, and a single USB-out port allows for custom integrations.

The ESW6300 offers a scalable and secure mesh architecture for high-performance Wi-Fi services, and can also serve as an advanced static or mobile Workgroup Bridge (WGB). Its embeddable form factor adds connectivity almost anywhere it can fit-without compromising aesthetics or requiring cumbersome mounting solutions.

The Cisco FM3200 Base is part of the Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul portfolio. It is a high-performance radio transceiver, designed for fast, reliable backhaul of mission-critical video, voice and data.

The FM3200 Base is used to create point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, mesh and mobility networks with a throughput of up to 150 Mbps. Its was specifically designed to work as a base station within point-to-multipoint network architectures. However, it can also connect to networks in point-to-point or mesh modes, if greater area coverage is needed.

Vertical markets in which the FM3200 Base can be exploited include - but are not limited to - smart cities, schools, government organizations and universities, highly reliable emergency voice communications, and video surveillance. The FM3200 Base can also be used as a distribution-layer base station in mining applications, and as a video-surveillance backbone in intermodal yards.

Reduce the cost of network ownership by selecting the amount of throughput you need

Limit the cost of network ownership with FluidThrottle by selecting only the amount of throughput required. More throughput can be easily achieved by upgrading the system with software plug-ins when traffic requirements increase.

Prodigy 2.0 for reliable mission-critical applications

Our Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based transmission protocol is built to overcome the limits of standard wireless protocols and to deliver an infrastructure with a higher level of reliability. At the base of our innovative transmission protocol is a traffic optimization algorithm that allows every Cisco FM radio to assign a specific level of priority and reliability to every packet transmitted. The result is a better, more reliable, multiservice wireless infrastructure.

Web interface configures, monitors, and troubleshoots the wireless network

The Cisco FM3200 Base includes the FMQuadro web interface, which allows you to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the wireless network in real time, without any additional software. To simplify the configuration of the wireless network, the radio has a built-in spectrum analyzer and a real-time bandwidth monitoring tool.

Your investment is protected

Your investment is safe when business needs change. With FluidMAX, you don't have to replace your radios when you change the network's architecture from point-to-point to point-to-multipoint or mesh. The Cisco FM3200 Base can operate in CSMA or TDMA.

Works with FLUIDITY, our unique mobility solution

The Cisco FM3200 Base supports FLUIDITY, the ultimate broadband connectivity solution for high-speed vehicles and trains. Providing up to 100 Mbps of usable throughput to vehicles traveling up to 225 mph/360 kmh is now a reality.

There is no handoff time with FLUIDITY: thanks to the seamless "make before break" handoff, it maintains persistent network sessions and streams for any type of traffic.
