Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers

We moved to two 9800 controllers about two years ago, replacing two 5520 WLCs. We are currently running two C9800s in high availability, and using them to manage 1300+ Cisco Aironet APs and WiFi access for 8000+ users in 84 buildings and outdoors.

The Cisco Ctalyst 9800 WLC provides wireless connectivity to our users. We have two for redundancy, and transistioned from Cisco 5508's.

As far as scope of use, the 9800 provides Business and Guest wireless to ~5000 employees, and ~5,000 guests daily. So far it has been great to work with, and I look forward to expanding it's deployment.

Mainly use it as wireless management and controlling, I like the telemetry feature via DNAC to get more client performance insight as well as easy deployment on access points

We use it to connect Wireless APs over multiple site locations to support up to 5000 personal

we use them in mixture of manufacturing and warehouses. They are much easier to configure then AirOS models. Like the added troubleshooting capabilities.

The most adopted product for WLAN network controller revampning. It is often used as centralized controller for multisite wireless network. The cloud version is increasingly widespread

part of network transformation from MSP to internal IT OPS managed solution
it resolves mobility and manageability across all our sites, we have around 500 APs connected to this product and utilizing Cisco PRIME version 3.9 to be able to manage all the sites, the product has enabled our organization to complete network transformation

We use the Cisco 9800 wireless lan controller in our enterprise environment in order to manage our wireless access point globally for al our offices. We appreciate the advanced services that can be used such as layer 3 roaming, air quality management and advanced security. The flexible deployment options are also a big plus.

The use case for the C9800s are managing our APs. Having mgig and 10gb Ports on the WLCs bring better performance for WiFi 6E

we use it for the wifi 6 access in addition to dna and ise for the security

we gaim im wifi stability

I work everyday with the 9800 WLC and it's a very reliable product.
Tons of new features gets added frequently, it's nice to see it as the future of Cisco Enterprise Wireless

It's easy to use & also by default sdwan enabled

Very buggy and it needs a lot of improvements. The mix support between AirOS and Catalyst AP's is very troubling

Cisco Catalyst 9800s is our main wireless LAN controller that manages WiFi networks for our offices and warehouses. We moved from older Cisco WLCs and had issues with deployment that required TAC support, but after that everything worked perfectly. The controllers are stable, easy to manage and configure. This new web interface is a welcomed upgrade.

We use this controller in our office to manage the internal and guest WiFi network. We also implement WiFi networks for our clients where this controller model is used. This new family of controllers has made our work easier because the CLI configurations use the Catalyst syntax, in fact, it is very similar to the Catalyst switches with which we are already very familiar. The web interface has been updated and is now more user-friendly.

Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers were purchased to replace older Cisco WLC 5508, as well introduce WiFi 6 Capabilities to get WiFi up to current speeds. As the WLC 5508 is going end of support, it was time to upgrade to a more curent platform, as well as to make management and usability of WiFi overall easier. The Catalyst 9800 is used to manage around over 100 Access Points across different sites worlwide, either locally or using FlexConnect Mode. During the Rollout, the required Policies regarding WiFi are once configured on the Controller, and then rolled out dynamically to all APs that connect to it, which makes management, especially across different sites, much easier. Once Rollout is complete, a uniform configuration of all APs, no matter the physical Location, can be expected

We use two 9800-80 SSO Clusters as a replacement for the WLC8540. We are at the moment in the migration phase. In the end, there will be around 3000-4500 aps on these Clusters.

We highly depend on Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller when it comes to department connection, easy communication, and security thanks to the easy configuration of wireless networks. This software is programmable and makes increasing wireless network coverage easy. Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller also comes in handy when increasing bandwidth speeds - can support up to 80 Gbps. This software meets our company's wireless control and management needs.

We have several wireless networks for communication, connection, and security, and controlling and managing them has been easy with Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller. This software offers great features that centralize the management of wireless networks and also make remote configuration easy. The software offers a world-class wireless experience when it comes to managing company wireless networks. Finally, Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller is programmable and comes with some analytics features for better performance and security.

As an IT expert, I have not used a better controller than Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller. What makes this software unique is the ability to control, secure, and manage LAN and other wireless networks remotely. With centralized access to company wireless networks, management becomes easy thereby ensuring smooth communication and connection. What's more, Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller is always available [with] no unplanned outages.

When it comes to maintaining communications, connections, and company networks from different access points, we trust Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller. The software works well and offers centralized control and management of wireless networks. The software solves all our wireless-related problems effortlessly thanks to its multiple features. In a nutshell, this software ensures better connectivity and support. In addition, the interface is great, and therefore using Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller is easy.

Our legacy Cisco Enterprise Wireless Network was ready for a refresh, and we looked at various configurations with different features. Ultimately, we wanted to have a platform that would allow us to begin to offer our end users a WiFi 6 network once their laptops have that capability. Next, we had to have a platform that continued to provide us [with] the top-notch security that everyone was already getting. Operational aspects were also very important to us. These new controllers really checked all the boxes that we were most concerned about.

We use it as regional WLC for the Cisco Access Points. All the access points across the region will be managed by these WLCs through flex connect mode. Before, we [had] 2 WLCs per site to control the APs; it was very hard to manage since we have a lot of sites. With [Cisco Catalyst 9800-L Wireless Controller], we can manage it easily with a tag system and really friendly IOS web UI.

The Cisco Catalyst 9800[-L Wireless] Controller is utilized across the entire organization, which includes both indoor, outdoor, and non-public areas of the facility. Multiple departments utilize the solution to provide a seamless WiFi experience across the campus. There are various administrative tasks that allow easier support of end-user issues and system-wide problems. The solution makes it easy to implement WiFi networks for temporary events.

BC systems is a 60 employee company and the Cisco Catalyst 9800-40 Wireless Controller meets all of our wireless requirements. This controller provides fast data transfer over a reliable wireless connection. We formerly used Linksys wireless and have found the upgrade to Cisco to be long overdue. We have not experienced any significant issues with the hardware. The module was relatively easy to configure, and we were up and running in a few hours.
