Cisco AIR-CT5760-250-K9 gateway/controller

The Cisco® 5760 Wireless Controller is an industry-leading platform designed for 802.11ac networks with maximum performance and services at scale, combined with high availability for mission-critical wireless networks. Through the Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), it delivers wire-speed performance with services such as advanced quality of service (QoS), flexible NetFlow v9, and downloadable ACLs. Delivering on the One Network component of the Unified Access vision, the Cisco 5760 offers: - Wire-speed 60-Gbps throughput with services - Up to 1000 access points per controller and 72,000 access points in a cluster - Up to 12,000 clients per controller and 864,000 clients in a cluster - Network traffic visibility through flexible NetFlow v9 - RF visibility and protection - Cisco CleanAir® technology - ClientLink 2.0 - VideoStream The 5760 Wireless Controller can operate in both converged access mode and centralized mode. Converged access mode provides hierarchical network design that distributes the wireless data plane at the access layer on Cisco Catalyst® switches for maximum performance and scale. Converged access mode provides maximum resiliency by constraining outages to smaller failure domains. Additionally, converged access mode delivers high availability with access point stateful failover (access point SSO), making sure SSIDs are highly available and have minimal effect on wireless clients.
