The AP-WLC7045 is a high-performance smart wireless access controller (AC) for medium wireless networks, which can manage up to 1024 access points (Aps). It provides complete RF management and security mechanism, powerful QoS, seamless roaming and complete control of APs, can be used to construct medium-sized network for campus, hotel, enterprise office, hospital, etc.

With hardware ASIC, AP-WLC7045 could support line-rate forwarding of IPv4/IPv6 data packets and support dynamic routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, BGP and PIM, as well as Ipv6 RIPng, OSPFv3 and PIM6. It also integrates Ethernet switch function, and provides unified access control for wired and wireless users. It offers 16 GE combo ports, 8 fixed SFP ports, and 4* 10G SFP+ ports.

Wired-and-wireless Unified and High-Reliability Network:-

Combination of routing switch and wireless AC:-
The WLC7045 can be used as a routing switch and a wireless access controller simultaneously in a trunk deployment mode, with an ASIC-based forwarding architecture and high-density access-ports, it can provide line-speed forwarding for both wired and wireless traffic.

High-reliability backup mechanism:-

The WLC7045 supports the following high-reliability backup mechanisms to ensure that a wireless network runs reliably:
– N+1 backup
– N+M backup

1+1 modular redundant input power:-

The WLC7045 supports two modular AC input power, which provides 1+1 input power redundancy.

Automatic emergency mechanism of APs:-

This mechanism enables an AP to intelligently detect a link between AC and AP. When detecting the breakdown of the link the AP quickly switches its operating mode so that it can continue to forward data and allow new users to access the network. This mechanism makes sure that the access is available for all users when the AC is down.

Intelligent Control of Wireless Network:-

Intelligent RF management:-

The WLC7045 provides an automatic power and channel adjustment function. It employs particular RF detection and management algorithms to attain a better RF coverage effect. When the signals of an AP are interfered with by strong external signals, the AP may automatically switch to an appropriate operating channel under the control of the AC to avoid such interference. It also supports the blackhole compensation mechanism, which adjusts the AP power to cover the blind area resulting by the crashing of some APs.
