Product Description
Juniper Networks® WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers meet the needs of any size
network, from small branch offices or retail outlets to large enterprises and university
campuses. WLC Series controllers provide users with a seamless, secure, and
exceptionally reliable roaming experience wherever they are and no matter what device
they are using. Identity-based networking policies enable users to have a common
experience with consistent services across wide geographies.
The WLC Series is easily deployed over any existing Layer 2/Layer 3 wired network without
disruption to the L2/L3 topologies, and allows secure LAN extension over the Internet to
enable easy wireless deployment in branch offices.
The WLC Series controllers can also offload policy enforcement and data forwarding to
Juniper Networks WLA Series Wireless LAN Access Points, resulting in optimized traffic
flow, radically reduced latency, and massive scalability.
The WLC Series provides L2 Ethernet switching, per user and per service firewalls, wireless
intrusion protection, 802.1Q trunking, Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+), complete wired
to wireless quality of service (QoS), and automated radio frequency (RF) management.
The WLC Series controllers ensure the highest wireless LAN availability in the industry.
They can be configured as a Virtual Controller Cluster™ to provide many-to-many
redundancy without the need for expensive hot-standby controllers. This enables nonstop
wireless availability with hitless failover for all sessions, even voice calls, in the unlikely
event of a controller failure.
With Juniper Networks RingMaster® wireless LAN management software, controller
configurations can be obtained locally or from a remote location with automatic “no
touch” deployment, and remote configuration and management capabilities. Juniper
wireless LAN deployments can also be managed by Juniper Networks Junos® Space
Network Director, which provides a single pane of glass view into both wired and wireless
networks from Juniper. View the Junos Space Network Director for more information:

The WLC Series delivers all of the standard security and networking functionality
expected of wireless LANs with the added benefits of intelligent switching, identity-based
roaming, bridging and mesh services, and nonstop wireless availability.
