AIR-WLC2106-K9

Becoming PCI compliant is not exactly the easiest part with integration of network security and your operation. Specifically, the retail industry actively using kiosk and hand-held scanners for wireless data transactions can be susceptible to unwanted attacks of data being stolen for malicious purposes. In this kind of environment, you would require wireless access points strategically placed to cover the work area for all your employees. Not to mention, a wireless LAN controller can make system wide changes to all of your access points as the master control unit.
Now, this is merely the beginning of the process. You also need to ensure you are using a reputable product line to ensure network security can be properly setup with encryption in mind and easily managed. The best solution that we see fit is using a Cisco 2100 series wireless LAN controller in conjunction with any Cisco Aironet 1100/1200 light-weight series access points.
The Cisco AIR-WLC2106-K9 LAN controller is the entry level model of the Cisco 2100 line. Meaning, it only supports up to 6 access points while its big brothers can go up as high as 25. Vology wants you to make the best decision when it comes to securing your network.
