Wireless Switch (ZA-5000-WS & ZA-5000-TAP)

Features
Convenient installation and maintenance. Thin AP can realize PNP. Wireless switch takes the place of network administrator to manage and maintain the wireless access network. The entire configuration, firmware upgrades and security policy update could be achieved on wireless switch.
Seamless integration with wired network. Due to the tunnel technology adopted between wireless access point and wireless network controller, the wireless network is isolated completely from the wired network bearing wireless data, therefore, wireless network construction is not limited by the security policy and configuration of existing wired network any more; And users do not have to modify on wired network that is harmful to or collide with current business.
High reliability. Different from low cost wireless switch solution using SOHO-class wireless access point on the market, Nanjing Z-COM Wireless combines high reliability, stability and excellent performance of telecom application with the advantages of wireless switch and ensures reliable operation based on wireless broadband access network, depending on our accumulated success in telecom market.

Reduced overall operation cost. Equipment cost of wireless broadband access network takes only a portion of the overall operation cost, Nanjing Z-COM Wireless provides wireless network switch solution which greatly minimizes the cost on installation, maintenance and extension of wireless broadband access network and on network adjustment resulted from new business support.
Centralized access control and security mechanism.
Comprehensive wireless service. Services critically related to wireless application: Auto Channel Selection, Load Balance, Seamless Roaming, Bandwidth Control, Anti-virus, etc. Enhance the convenience to access network with wireless broadband.

Highlight
Auto Channel Allocation
Wireless network switch can allocate appropriate and low-interference channel for each thin AP automatically, and optimize the coverage and access capability of wireless broadband access network.
Auto Power Adjustment
Wireless network switch can adjust the transmit power for each thin AP automatically to eliminate coverage hole.
Load & Flow Balance
Wireless network switch can monitor the real-time load status for each thin AP, and equalize the wireless terminal under the thin AP, which is in congestion or of low service quality without environmental effect, to another AP. It can even tactically refuse link request from some wireless terminal to ensure the link quality of other wireless terminals.
Fast Roaming
Using only one wireless switch, the roaming of wireless terminal among thin APs will not be limited by wired network, and the IP, security and authentication of wireless terminal will not change along with the movement of terminal itself. The wireless terminal keeps connecting while moving among APs.

Conventional WLAN Solution
The structure of conventional WLAN is wireless access point (Rich AP) plus switch. However, this conventional distributed structure is facing various problems: Users have to manage and configure each AP respectively; Potential network attack and interference can not be discovered within the whole system and the load balance capability could be affected therefore; AP can not distinguish the demand of real-time application like wireless voice from data transmission application; Security can not be maintained if certain AP suffered stolen or damage.
