Successfully plan, deploy, monitor, troubleshoot, and report on indoor and outdoor wireless networks - all from a centralized location. As the comprehensive lifecycle management platform for the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS):

• Reduces operational costs with built-in tools, guides, and templates
• Improves IT efficiency through an intuitive GUI and flexible ease of use
• Minimizes staffing requirements through centralized control
• Scales to support local or remote wireless LANs of any size
• Protects the performance of 802.11n by mitigating RF interference with Cisco CleanAir technology

Cisco WCS delivers full visibility and control of Cisco Aironet access points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers, and the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) with built-in support for Cisco adaptive wireless intrusion prevention systems (wIPS) and Cisco context-aware services. This robust platform helps you reduce total cost of ownership and maintain a business-ready wireless network.
