By simplifying wireless deployments and network management, the scalable WC7520 controller meets the demands of medium-sized businesses, schools, and hospitals in the Middle East with up to 1,500 users and more, and enables businesses to grow their wireless network as needed with a dramatic return on investment.

Through licensing upgrades, the ProSafe Wireless Controller scales up to 50 access points (AP) and is stackable up to three units to support up to 150-APs, including controller redundancy. Meeting the next generation needs of larger installations across the region, the WC7520 Controller delivers central wireless management and management tools, integrated wireless mobility, seamless roaming, rich converged services, guest access captive portal and Voice over Wi-Fi support. Regional businesses can also benefit from a single point of management for the entire wireless network with comprehensive security through the ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller's identity-based security features, and rock-solid performance under heavy loading with a self healing infrastructure.

"Our new product combines the network management features of our enterprise products including mass firmware upgrades, centralized configuration options, and load-balancing to address the needs of organisations with different network needs and IT resources," said Ahmad Zeidan, Channel Sales Manager, NETGEAR Middle EastNETGEAR Middle EastLoading.... "As the GCC and Middle East market remains a receptive market to new technologies, we are confident that our new 'ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller WC7520' will generate excellent response from regional institutions involved in business, education and healthcare industries."

Backed by a lifetime warranty, the WC7520 Controller hosts a guest portal where guests can register themselves before entering the network, while prohibiting them any access to the sensitive data on the corporate network.
