Integrates WLAN controller functions
With the LANCOM WLC Basic Option, LANCOM routers without WLAN are upgraded with the functions of a WLAN controller. This option enables a single device to manage up to 12 access points or WLAN routers. Small networks in particular benefit from important and professional new functions, without the need for a separate WLAN controller. This minimizes the costs of the network solution and keeps the number of managed components to a minimum.

Advantages
Central management
With the LANCOM WLC Basic Option, LANCOM routers without WLAN are upgraded with the functions of a WLAN controller. This enables a single device to manage up to 6 access points or WLAN routers, or even 12 devices after installing the WLC AP Upgrade +6 Option. In particular, for smaller WLAN infrastructures this option offers genuine added value because there is no need to operate a separate WLAN controller.

Upgrading with the LANCOM WLC AP Upgrade +6 Option
Networks grow continually and need flexibility to be able to expand. Even with the best planning, the available resources can still reach their limits. The LANCOM WLC Upgrade +6 Option facilitates the management of up to 6 additional WLAN devices. This means that the network can grow without requiring any additional hardware.

Complete configuration of the WLAN
The LANCOM WLC Basic Option gives LANCOM routers all of the functions of a WLAN controller. A single LANCOM router equipped with the LANCOM WLC Basic Option is able to manage LANCOM access points or WLAN routers located in the LAN or accessible at remote branches and home offices. Ideal for smaller but professional WLAN installations, e.g. for retail stores, businesses or small hotels.

Zero-touch deployment
The LANCOM WLC Basic Option quickly and easily integrates new WLAN devices into the network, and it assigns configurations to them automatically. Each new WLAN device receives a fully customized configuration with a profile assignment.

Easy upgrades
The LANCOM software options turn a simple network into a customized and cost-efficient solution that meets your individual needs. Simply install them on your existing hardware and you upgrade your network with the desired feature. The advantage: No additional hardware components are required. The costs and the administration overhead of the entire network are reduced. Genuine added value comes in terms of the system's future viability, because the options transform a network into a customized and scalable networking solution.
