The NX-5500 Series Integrated Services Platform lets you centrally administer networks of up to 512
WLAN Access Points geographically dispersed over small or medium sized enterprise locations. WiNG
Access Points intelligently handle the trac flows, quality of service and security at remotely distributed
locations, while the NX-5500 provides a single point for configuration, policy setting, and remote
