Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is the industry-leading platform for wireless LAN planning, configuration, and management. Cisco WCS provides a powerful foundation that allows IT managers to design, control, and monitor enterprise wireless networks from a centralized location, simplifying operations and reducing the total cost of ownership. The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points and Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers. With Cisco WCS, network administrators have a single solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, network optimization, troubleshooting, user tracking, security monitoring, and wireless LAN systems management. Robust graphical interfaces make wireless LAN deployment and operations simple and cost-effective. Detailed trending and analysis reports make Cisco WCS vital to ongoing network operations. Cisco WCS with location adds high-accuracy location tracking and RF mapping to the WCS system. This enables IT staff to accurately track mobile devices (such as wireless clients) and security threats (such as rogue access points) to within a few meters.
