Cisco AIR-CT3504-K9: Centralized Control for High-Performance Wi-Fi
5 Networks
The Cisco AIR-CT3504-K9 is a compact yet powerful Wireless LAN
Controller (WLC), designed to provide centralized control,
management, and troubleshooting for small to medium-sized
enterprises and branch offices. It optimizes 802.11ac Wave 2 network performance and integrates
seamlessly with Cisco's unified wireless architecture.
Centralized Management & Scalability
The 3504 WLC offers a single point of control for up to 150 Cisco Wireless APs and 3,000 clients, simplifying network administration. It supports various deployment modes including centralized for
campuses, FlexConnect for lean branches managed over WAN, and mesh
for environments without full Ethernet cabling, ensuring
flexibility for diverse network needs.
Enhanced Security & Application Visibility
This controller features an embedded wireless BYOD policy engine
and integrates Cisco TrustSec® technology for advanced network
security. It also utilizes Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC)
with the NBAR2 engine, providing deep insights into application
traffic to prioritize and secure critical business applications,
going beyond the capabilities of a standalone Cisco Network Switch.
Robust Performance & High Availability
With a 4 Gbps throughput, the AIR-CT3504-K9 is optimized for
802.11ac Wave 2 performance. It supports subsecond AP and client failover, redundant 1 Gigabit
Ethernet, and Multi-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, along with
solid-state storage, ensuring high system uptime and uninterrupted
application availability.
Quiet and Compact Design
Designed for deployment in space-constrained environments, the 3504
controller features a quiet, fanless operation (under normal
conditions) and a compact 1RU rack-unit or desktop form factor. Its
thoughtful design allows for flexible placement without
compromising on features or performance.
