Firetide, a provider of wireless infrastructure mesh and
broadband access solutions, announced the introduction of two new Wireless LAN
(WLAN) controllers.

 

The FWC 1000 and FWC 2000 expand the company’s wireless
portfolio to fit the needs of businesses of all sizes.

 

Firetide’s WLAN
controllers enable customers to easily manage and secure their wireless
networks from a centralized application. Additionally, this new family of
controllers provides end users the flexibility to choose the size of their
wireless network as well as allowing administrators the ability to quickly and
easily expand their networks as their needs grow.

 

This new family of wireless controllers rounds out our
current offerings and expands our portfolio to meet the needs of our customers
regardless of the size of their business today or at any time in the future,”
said Bo Larsson, CEO of Firetide.

 

These high-performance solutions tie back to the
commitment of Firetide in bringing the best available technology to market in a
flexible and easy-to-deploy package,” Larsson added.

 

Firetide FWC 1000 controller
is suited for small deployments such as retail strips, hospitality hotspots or
school buildings. The FWC 1000 provides a cost-effective solution for
organizations that need enterprise-grade features like radio frequency
management and security. The FWC 1000 comes with 50 built-in access point (AP)
support.

 

Firetide FWC 2000 is designed for larger deployments such
as mid-sized enterprises and school campuses. The FWC 2000 is rack mountable
and is able to support the management and mobility for up to 50 APs.

 

It is expandable up to 150 APs with stacking. For
critical networks, customers can enable 1:N redundancy on the controller where
one controller can serve as a backup. This eliminates any single point of
failure in the network, and ultimately increases wireless availability and
reliability.
