5520 Wireless Controller
Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers
We use a redundant pair of Cisco 5520 Wireless LAN Controllers for our main hospital campus. It allows us to create specific settings for the specialized medical equipment that is in use. Also having a redundant pair gives us very high uptime.
- Supports all of the latest wireless technology and protocols
- Huge flexibility
- Works with several different access point models simultaneously
- Cisco isn't inexpensive
- Software upgrades give access to new features but you have to buy access points to match
- Could not accommodate the newest medical equipment without the flexibility
We have looked into Aruba wireless. It was easier to use administer than Cisco and required less "care and feeding" but did not offer the flexibility that we needed.
