The WLC Series supports the highest levels of security for both voice and data, including IEEE 802.11i, WPA/WPA2, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The WLC Series also provides comprehensive built-in Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIP) and Wireless Intrusion Detection (WID) features to detect and mitigate rogue access points, denial of service (DoS) attacks, and other common attacks. Unlike WLAN systems that rely entirely on centralized controllers for security policy enforcement, Juniper’s security/authentication model is administered centrally and enforced in a distributed fashion. With the WLC Series controllers, up to 64 controllers of any size may be grouped to form a single Mobility Domain® which shares user session information between member controllers. This allows users to roam seamlessly from access point to access point indoors and outdoors, even across different controllers within a given Mobility Domain, without ever needing to re-authenticate. Global Identity-Based Networking The WLC Series controllers give users the same identity-based services and privileges, no matter where they connect. The WLC Series offers seamless roaming at a single location, and it enables the same secure mobility and consistent service profiles at multiple locations in the same network. Applying identity-based networking globally offers great benefits to users who frequently work at different sites (for example, doctors who serve many hospitals within a hospital system, teachers across a school district, or IT users across multiple campuses). Whatever the experience a user has at one site, it can be replicated at another similar site. Optimized Traffic Flows WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers also enable intelligent switching, which combines both centralized and distributed data forwarding based on the requirements of the underlying application. This results in optimized traffic flows, radically reduced latency, and massive scalability. With the scalability and performance advantages of distributed switching, the WLC Series can support the most demanding wireless applications, including voice over WLAN for thousands of users, video services, real-time location services, and 802.11n—all without the need for expensive WLAN controller upgrades.
- 3. 3 For situations where wireless bandwidth is a scarce commodity, such as in mesh and bridging applications in which Wi-Fi is the backhaul transport, the WLC Series uses standards- based techniques such as Proxy ARP, to prevent unnecessary propagation of broadcast or multicast traffic such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests. Deep packet inspection also makes it possible to distinguish different traffic types such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), so that appropriate QoS and bandwidth profiles can be provided automatically. Dynamic Load Optimization The WLC Series optimizes per user bandwidth availability and performance by dynamically balancing traffic, regardless of whether forwarding is centralized or distributed. WLC Series controllers eliminate access point congestion problems for mobile users by automatically balancing clients across access points as they connect, and continually adjusting access point loading as users change location. WLC Series controllers also steer clients to the 5 GHz band whenever possible, preserving 2.4 GHz for legacy clients and voice services increasing usable capacity. Nonstop Wireless Availability The WLC Series uses controller virtualization technology to avoid service interruptions by configuring multiple controllers in a group. They act together as a single virtual controller cluster, with each controller in service at the same time. In the event of a controller being out of service, the many-to-many redundancy allows the access points previously assigned to the offline controller to be redistributed among other controllers in the cluster instantaneously. With this unique hitless failover capability, no active sessions or voice calls are lost. This nonstop wireless experience also makes it possible for in-service upgrades, adds, moves, and changes with zero downtime. Spectrum Aware WLC Series controllers play a key role in rogue and intrusion detection as well as DoS attack detection. Working in conjunction with access points, the controllers systematically scan all 802.11 channels while simultaneously providing client services. When rogue or interference sources are detected, the WLC Series controllers coordinate the appropriate mitigation response to ensure the highest air quality for efficient and high performing wireless access services. If an access point goes out of service and leaves a coverage hole, WLC Series controllers can change channels or adjust power levels on multiple nearby access points in a coordinated fashion in order to restore Wi-Fi coverage. Advanced Voice Services WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers support all of the standards necessary to deliver secure, scalable voice services with seamless roaming across the entire mobility system. The highly distributed architecture of the WLC Series is optimized for high quality voice services, allowing voice traffic to take the shortest, most efficient path, and avoiding the risk of congestion and added latency caused by centralized forwarding at the WLAN controller. In addition to hitless failover capabilities which provide voice reliability equal to wired networks, the WLC Series provides SIP packet inspection, dynamic call admission control (CAC), and much more for resource provisioning, troubleshooting, scalability, and mass deployment of reliable voice services. Branch and Remote Office WLAN Extension The WLC Series wireless LAN controllers allow easy and rapid deployment of secure wireless LAN services in retail and branch offices, with a “remote AP” at the branch. Customers can deploy and manage access points (APs) at each romote location over a WAN link without requiring a controller in each site. APs at each remote site can switch traffic locally. If the connection to the controller is lost, wireless services continue uninterrupted; connected clients maintain wireless connection to the AP, new clients can connect and authenticate locally, and the Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) continues. Furthermore, the new country code override feature in the remote AP profile allows the AP’s channel and transmit power to be set to meet the specific country’s regulatory requirement where it is located, independent of the location of the WLAN controller which is managing it. This simplified branch office deployment model eliminates all complexity, while leveraging the investment in corporate security infrastructure and policies. Bridging and Mesh Services The WLC Series controllers also extend wireless coverage between buildings and across difficult to reach uncarpeted areas indoors and outdoors through point-to-point bridging and wireless mesh services for both indoor and outdoor access points.
