The LevelOne WAC-2003 is a Gigabit WLAN controller designed for small-to-medium sized networks such as SMBs, schools, boutique hotels, and apartments. Centralized management of up to 300 APs offers complete wireless security and service solutions for any mid-range wireless network.

The WAC-2003 controller can also function as a multi-WAN Internet gateway with a robust firewall to protect Internet access against intruders. It features 1 WAN, 3 WAN/LAN, and 1 LAN ports in Gigabit speeds, allowing for fast and reliable distribution of data throughout the network. Up to 4 WAN interfaces with load balancing functions satisfy the needs of an always-on Internet connection with greater bandwidth.

The WAC-2003 integrates a wide variety of functions, enabling the administrator to easily configure AP settings, including tag-based VLAN settings, upgrade the AP firmware, and monitor AP on/off status as well as the number of connected APs and users. The captive portal function provides a convenient way of authentication for guest users.

The LevelOne WAC-2003 also supports real-time control to access point RF scanning for signal strength and interference information. Based on the results, the WAC-2003 adjusts traffic loading, output power, RF coverage, and channel distribution of the APs to optimize wireless coverage and throughput.
