Luxul releases the next generation to the flagship XWC-1000 wireless controller-- the XWC-2000, an upgrade featuring Luxul roam assist technology for active roaming of mobile client devices and deployment of up to 32 wireless access points (AP).
In wireless networks utlising more than one wireless AP, roam assist technology ensures mobile devices are always connected to the best AP for the highest performance. As a result, users can move freely throughout the space without the frustration of intermittent connections and slow wifi speeds.
The XWC-2000 delivers twice the capacity of the previous model with support for up to 32 APs. It automatically adds APs for plug-and-play installation, and the controller installs quickly using a simple setup wizard. The XWC-2000 is compatible with the XAP-1610, XAP-1510, XAP-810, XAP-1240 and XAP-1440, as well as future Luxul APs (excluding bridging APs).
“Fast roaming doesn’t improve network performance and many people don’t even realize that a sticky device problem exists,” the company says. “With the introduction of our next-gen controller, we’re educating dealers on the differences in performance between a fast roaming solution and active roaming. With Roam Assist, support for up to 32 APs, and an easy-to-use setup wizard that allows SSIDs to be pushed to all connected APs, the XWC-2000 stands out from the pack, bringing active roaming and installation simplicity to large networks.”
