TRENDnet TEW-WLC100 Wireless LAN Controller

The TRENDnet TEW-WLC100 is a hardware-based Wireless LAN Controller designed to centralize the management and setup of TRENDnet access points. It serves as a single point of administration for deploying, configuring, and monitoring a wireless network, making it an ideal solution for small to medium-sized businesses, hotels, and cafes that require robust control over their public or private WiFi infrastructure. The controller simplifies complex tasks and reduces AP deployment time. This device provides enhanced wireless reliability through advanced roaming technologies. By supporting IEEE 802.11k radio resource management, the controller intelligently steers clients to the optimal access point. Furthermore, its support for 802.11r Fast BSS Transition and Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) pre-authenticates mobile clients with neighboring APs, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted connection as users move throughout the coverage area. Designed for straightforward integration, the controller features a 1U rack-mountable metal housing. Administrators can manage the network through a simple web-based GUI, allowing for the creation of group AP profiles, execution of batch firmware upgrades, and monitoring of connection statuses for all managed devices. It also supports the creation of a captive portal for guest networks, requiring user authentication for access.
