Colubris MultiService Controllers (MSCs) are the central nervous system in the Colubris Intelligent Mobility System (CIMS), controlling the operation of intelligent access points distributed throughout a wireless zone, building or campus. MSCs deliver a range of services to wireless client devices and ensure consistent quality and security as clients roam throughout the network. With plug-and-play capabilities, they simplify WLAN deployment and minimize network operations costs. |
CIMS is a modular system offering unrivaled scalability. Any number of 5000 Series Controllers can be deployed in a network, controlling up to 200 MultiService Access Points (MAPs), which, in turn, can be clustered to facilitate management and ensure seamless service. The 5000 Series Controllers feature full IP routing and network services that enable them to connect directly to a cable or DSL modem and provide a turnkey remote site networking solution. Colubris’ Network Management System (NMS) provides a single, centralized system for managing your entire WLAN as an integrated whole, whether it consists of a single controller and a handful of access points, or literally thousands of controllers and tens of thousands of access points.
