Overview
Scalable Wireless AP Control and Management for Mid-Sized Enterprise,
Education and Hospitality.
Increasing mobile and Wi-Fi dependence produces new challenges for business
and network operators. Networks need to be fast and accessible for BYOD (Bring
Your Own Device) but secure and reliable for mission-critical applications, as
well as scalable, customizable and easy to manage and monitor. The Edimax Pro
Series and the APC500 Wireless AP Controller APC500 are designed with exactly
these requirements in mind. To meet today’s fast-changing boom-growth needs of
business network architecture the APC500 offers high-performance, feature-rich
wireless LAN management that’s cost-effective, flexible, fully scalable and
designed for the demands of medium-size enterprise, education and hospitality
environments.
Scalable Wireless LAN Deployment
Efficient management of up to 200 compatible Edimax Pro access points with
easy configuration to deploy fully functional & scalable wireless networks
in enterprise environments. The AP Controller + Managed AP architecture is a
modular system that develops and multiplies according to your requirements with
additional APs easy to integrate into the existing system.
Centralized & Remote Management
Easy, remote web-based interface with dashboard, map view, traffic statistics
and wireless client list for network-wide remote administration. Group AP
management, RADIUS settings, WLAN group settings, access control, captive
portal, guest network settings and firmware upgrades can all be managed
centrally from a single location to reduce network downtime, aid troubleshooting
and optimize network performance.
Zone Plan with Google Maps
Plan & simulate AP deployment to determine the most efficient strategic
locations for your APs. Network admins can use Google Maps or import custom
floor plans for visual overviews of network setup, with easy drag-and-drop icons
and quick access to key performance and monitoring information. A unified and
intuitive interface that supports all Edimax Pro series AP and cuts out the
learning curve.
Secure Guest Access Management
Secure solution to manage temporary-user guest network access with different
user authority levels including free, service level agreement, static users and
dynamics users. Temporary accounts are issued printable, customizable tickets
with time-limited access and the guest management system allows simple,
time-saving batch account generation. Guest bandwidth management can be set
according to SSID with functionality to monitor and log account usage metrics.
Customized Captive Portal
Acting as a central point of management and security, Edimax Pro APC500 with
built-in guest access services that can be integrated easily into existing
wireless network. To ensure only authorized guests can access the Internet,
guests are automatically redirected to the guest login page. This guest captive
portal can be customized to the company's look and style - and terms of use can
also be displayed.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
No license fees, cloud-access fees or extra hidden costs. Working standalone
and managing Edimax Pro networks locally doesn’t require any additional servers,
software installation or specialist staff. Total cost of ownership (TCO) per
wireless network deployment with the APC500 impresses even the most
cost-restricted organizations. Guaranteed to provide unmatched WLAN ROI.
