The Brocade Mobility RFS7000-GR Controller is a high-performance member of
Brocade’s wireless controller family. The Brocade Mobility RFS7000-GR Controller
provides centralized Wireless LAN (WLAN) configuration and management by
coalescing a network “intelligence” previously spread across physically distributed
access points. By replacing access points with simpler access ports (or “thin”
access points), the Brocade Mobility RFS7000-GR Controller becomes a WLAN’s
single point of contact, thus reducing wireless networking complexity by moving
management out of the ceiling and into the wiring closet. In addition, through the
use of patented Virtual AP architecture, the Brocade Mobility RFS7000-GR
Controller lets you create multiple WLANs without changing or adding to the existing
wired network infrastructure.
