Reliable, Secure and Scalable Wireless Controller for Mid-sized Businesses, Schools and Hospitals
The NETGEAR ProSAFE® Wireless Controller WC7520 offers a high-performance, fully-featured, yet extremely affordable, Wireless LAN architecture to meet the demands of medium-sized businesses, schools, and hospitals with thousands of users.
Performance
- Seamless L2 and L3 fast roaming provide support for latency-sensitive applications such as video, audio and voice over wireless
- Dynamic RF Management: Automatic controls of AP transmit power and channel allocations ensure coverage by minimizing interferences
- Self-healing Wireless: Automatic WLAN healing after loss of AP or due to RF interferences adapts the power and channel of the other APs around the area
- Load balancing and rate limiting ensure fair bandwidth allocation among all clients for robust wireless connectivity
- Dynamic load balancing of clients across APs is provided based on number of clients per AP, or based on signal strength threshold/data rate threshold of clients per AP
Scalability
- The scalable WC7520 Controller enables businesses to grow their wireless network as needed with a dramatic return on investment: WC7520 scales up to 50 access points (AP) - and up to 150 access points (AP) with stacking
- Support of controller redundancy to maximize reliability
Business Value
- Customer floor maps: Heat maps by wireless band, wireless channel and signal strength allow real-time reporting of the wireless network status
- Redundancy for always-on reliability and peace of mind: N+1 redundancy with failover (one cold redundant Controller for 1, 2 or 3 production Controllers)
- Built to last, the WC7520 Controller is backed by a Lifetime Warranty
Ease of Use
- Configure the MAC address filters, make SSID changes, and change the password for all access points—all from the single WC7520 interface
- Triangulation: Administrators can easily locate known APs, rogue APs, and associated clients on the heat map
- Wireless bundles (for single and dual band APs) for ease of ordering More information: Management features | Web-based management | Yes | Protocols | Management protocols | HTTP, SNMP, SSH |  | DHCP server | Yes | Operational conditions | Operating temperature (T-T) | 0 - 45 °C | | Storage temperature (T-T) | -20 - 70 °C | | Operating relative humidity (H-H) | 0 - 90 % | | Storage relative humidity (H-H) | 0 - 95 % | Design | Mounting type | Rack mounting | | LED indicators | Power | | Certification | FCC, CE, WEEE, RoHS | Network | Ethernet LAN data rates | 10,100,1000 Mbit/s | | Networking standards | IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3u | | Wi-Fi | Yes | Weight & dimensions | Weight | 3600 g | | Dimensions (WxDxH) | 440 x 262 x 43 mm | Power | Input voltage | 100 - 240 V | | Input frequency | 50 - 60 Hz | | Output voltage | 5 V | | Output current | 8 A | | Power supply | 13 W | Security | Security algorithms | WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK | | VLAN support | Yes | Ports & interfaces | USB 2.0 ports quantity | 1 | | Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports | 4 | Logistics data | Harmonized System (HS) code | 85176990 |
