Wireless network control

What is a WLAN controller?

A WLAN is a wireless architecture that aims to meet changing network requirements. A WLAN controller manages wireless network access points that allow wireless devices to connect to the network.

What a wireless access point does for your network is similar to what an amplifier does for your home stereo. It takes the bandwidth of a router and stretches it out so that many devices can connect to the network over longer distances.
