The Cisco® 526 Wireless Express Mobility Controller is a network appliance that automatically optimizes the basic wireless network and supports advanced mobility services on top of that network. The Cisco Mobility Express Solution brings together the 526 Controller and the 521 Wireless Express Access Point as a flexible, cost-effective wireless solution specifically designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Part of a complete SMB strategy, the Mobility Express Solution aligns with the Cisco Smart Business Communications System-a unified communications solution for SMBs that provides voice, data, video, security and wireless capabilities while integrating with existing desktop applications like calendar, e-mail and CRM. As customer needs change, the Cisco Mobility Express Solution offers the versatility to evolve and scale from a solid mobile foundation delivering business-grade wireless features to a sophisticated yet cost-effective wireless network capable of supporting leading mobility services and applications.

The Cisco 526 Wireless Express Mobility Controller can be used with up to six access points per controller and up to two controllers per network. It harnesses the power of Cisco Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) technology-best-in-class automatic radio optimization, mobility performance and multi-access-point management-at the capacity, simplicity, and price point appropriate for the SMB. On top of the basic transport layer, this controller supports Cisco Secure Guest Access and voice-over-WLAN advanced mobility services. Along with other products in the Smart Business Communications System, this controller uses the Cisco Configuration Assistant software rather than a command-line interface, accelerating deployment and decreasing the cost of ongoing maintenance.

Featrues:
Supports up to six 521 Wireless Express access points per controller and up to two controllers per network
Standards-based security and authentication mechanisms
Simplified management through Cisco Configuration Assistant and Radio Resource Management (RRM) tools
Supports up to eight SSID/VLANs for wired/wireless network virtualization
Mobility Services Ready supporting secure guest access and optimized Voice over Wi-FI
