ZyXEL Communications NXC2500 Brochure & Specs

Delivering a good wireless LAN service that stands up to the demands of connecting users to the
rapid evolution application is not easy. The latest BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), mobility and
smart handheld technology all present scalability, manageability and functionality challenges
to business Wi-Fi installations. To enable businesses to addressing these challenges ZyXEL has
developed the NXC2500, an all-in-one, intelligent Wireless LAN Controller. The ZyXEL NXC2500
is designed to provide resellers and businesses with a solution that works as an AP planning,
deployment, monitoring and maintenance solution while oering management, authentication
and guest access within an all-in-one device.
The ZyXEL NXC2500 Wireless LAN Controller supports the management of the ZyXEL Unied,
Unied Pro and NWA5000 Managed Series of Access Points to provide complete wireless LAN
functions for the business. As standard the ZyXEL NXC2500 supports the initial management of 8
APs and provides scalability with a maximum supported total up to 64 APs, the “pay-as-you-grow”
principle provides reassurance and future proong for small and medium-sized businesses, hotels
and educational institutes to implement secured, centralized wireless LAN networks.
Benets
Adaptive and reselient Wi-Fi deployments with ZyMESH technology
Surpassing the mesh networking technology, ZyMESH creates wireless mesh links with easy
conguration, better management and enhanced reliability. ZyMESH eases extending Wi-Fi coverage
to places where cabling is dicult. In addition, each repeater APs can have multiple route selections
to provide high resilience achieving non-stop Wi-Fi service. In the past, administrators had to assign
channel and MAC addresses in each AP while setting up a WDS link to extend Wi-Fi service; now they
can make initial provision and centralized management with ZyMESH and ZyXEL NXC2500 controller to
manage and deploy networks easily.
Enhanced RF management and WLAN optimization
All wireless networks face a major challenge: ensuring Wi-Fi clients get service levels they’d need. The
diculty to resolve is that dierent kinds of Wi-Fi clients exist on the network, and these users tend to
make their own connectivity and roaming decision.
• Centralized management for up
to 64 APs
• ZyMESH mitigates complex,
inconvenient cabling Wi-Fi
deployments
• Client steering enhances
eciency of wireless spectrum
utilization
• Auto healing maximizes Wi-Fi
service availability
• Seamless integration with
external AD, LDAP, RADIUS
authentication
• Best investment protection with
built-in RADIUS server
