Description
MSG series products are carrier-
grade Wireless Access Controllers
that combine routing, switching,
WLAN Gateway and Access
Controller functionality into a
unified high-performance system.
The products provide centralized
control and configuration of Access
Points, load balancing, roaming, RF
control and many other functions.
This approach with all-in-one
integrated system helps to optimize
TCO related to network
deployment and operation.
The MSG2000 is a chassis-based
carrier grade Wireless Access
Controller that offers extremely high
capacity and performance,
supporting up to 256,000 clients,
and 10,600 access points (APs) on a
single, easy-to-use platform.
The Controller offers impressive
feature set that helps to simplify
deployment and operation of a
wireless network, and to optimize
capital expenditures. The product
supports RF Management, Load
Balancing, Roaming, various
authentication mechanisms, built-in
portal server for web authentication,
and others. To further enhance
system flexibility, the product
supports both central and local
forwarding, as well as flexible data
forwarding, when an AP can
determine whether to forward all
data via an AC, or to send it
directly to a wired network based
on Service Set ID (SSID) and user
VLAN.
With its advanced software features
and modular design, the MSG2000
offers high scalability, flexibility and
reliability required for carrier-class
applications. The innovative
virtualization and automation
techniques implemented on the
MSG2000 allow operators to create
Virtualized ACs that include several
Line Cards in a MSG2000 chassis, or
even across several chassis for load
balancing, protection and simple
system management.
The MSG2000 is compatible with
wide range of UTStarcom’s wireless
access points.
