S P E C I A L F E AT U R E wireless networks Up for the challenge Key points D-Link has signiﬁcantly grown its business wireless AC product portfolio. Gone are the days of standalone access points (AP). Now D-Link offers managed outdoor APs that are capable of withstanding harsh environments, such as the DAP-3410 that excels in connecting separate networks that are not joined by a physical cable. To counteract the advancements made in AP technology, D-Link recently launched its new DWC-2000 wireless controller. This offers a variety of features including guest and corporate access with multiple SSIDs, Guest Captive Portal and a Free Integrated Payment Gateway. The DWC-2000 is the perfect solution for any business looking to enhance its wireless network with minimal service disruption and with a great deal of scalability, starting with eight access points and scaling to support 1024 APs in a clustered conﬁguration. Also new and available is a free cloud enabled wireless AP management tool, designed to create and manage multi-site, multi-tenancy networks via D-Link’s Central Wi-Fi Manager (CWM). CWM is built for businesses with enterprise-level features such as bandwidth optimisation, captive portal and radio frequency optimisation integrated as standard to help satisfy the needs of any business.
