Product Overview
The RG-WS6512 high-performance wireless access controller (AC) is developed by Ruijie Networks to support next-generation high-speed wireless networks. It can be deployed on a Layer 2 or Layer 3 network without any architecture or hardware changes, delivering seamless and secure control over wireless networks. The RG-WS6512 can manage up to 128 wireless access points (APs) by default. With licenses for capacity expansion, it can manage a maximum of 1152 generic APs or 2304 wall-mounted APs.
Through powerful centralized and visualized management and control over wireless networks, the RG-WS6512 can significantly simplify construction and deployment of wireless networks. The RG-WS6512 can be used with Ruijie Networks' APs and RG-SNC — a unified management platform for wired and wireless networks. This achieves flexible control of APs, optimizes RF coverage and performance, implements cluster management, and reduces the workload of device deployment.
The RG-WS6512, adopting enhanced security and clustering technologies, offers identity-based networking services. Multiple ACs in a cluster can share a user database, allowing stations (STAs) to seamlessly roam in different areas of a network. The cluster design guarantees the security and session integrity during roaming and smooth interaction of data and voice over Wi-Fi applications.
