Figure 1-High Performance, High Density Carrier Class Controller
Newbridge 9000 Controllers optimize secure enterprise applications at branch offices, while reducing the cost and complexity of deploying and managing the wired/wireless network.
The NB9000 Controllers combine wired and multi-WAN services, is the high-performance controller developed by Newbridge. NB9000 is the integrated wireless controller (AC, Access Controller) designed for enterprise and commercial industry. The feature set of NB9000 includes high-end features such as forward caching proxy, traffic shaping, intrusion detection and VPN client setup. The robust and reliable update mechanism gives NB9000 the ability to provide important security updates in a timely fashion.
Supporting intelligent RF management, QoS, automatic fault recovery, fast roaming and load balancing capabilities across APs. NB9000 can achieve seamless, secure wireless network deployed on any existing L2/L3 network without interrupting the existing network operation. Simplifying deployment and management of the network, saving user investment and reduce cost of infrastructure.
The NB9000 centrally managed Wireless LAN (WLAN) system developed specifically for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). Can support up to 500 wireless access points management under centralized mode.
The NB9000 is also perfect for businesses who want to provide services such as voice over Wi-Fi, IP-based video, secure enterprise access and tiered Wi-Fi services in venues such as hotels, airports, schools and public buildings.
ENTERPRISES
Meanwhile, protect your business network and secure your connections using VPN or IPsec. From the stateful inspection firewall to the inline intrusion detection & prevention system everything is included.
EDUCATIONS
The NB9000 performs as firewall and router, capable to limit and share available bandwidth evenly amongst students and utilize the category based web filtering to filter unwanted traffic such as adult content and malicious websites.
AP ROAMING & LOAD BALANCING
As a wireless client roams in an area covered by Newbridge APs advertising the same SSID, it will try and associate to the AP that provides the strongest signal. The wireless adapter on the client device measures the RSSI on received frames sent by APs to make roaming decisions. A seamless roaming experience is one in which a mobile client can move AP to AP without experiencing a disruption in network aware applications. Administrator can adjust the default RF settings (dBm, scan threshold, and transition time) to fine-tune the operation of client roaming using the controller GUI
Administrator may set up load balance to prevent that one of the AP gets overloaded, while others are underutilized. This help improves the Wi-Fi performance for all the wireless clients. While using AP load balance, AP may disconnect an inactive station, or the station with weakest signal strength, when there is a new connection request while AP is overloaded.
