TQ5403

Smaller businesses can operate the TQ5403 in standalone mode, using its intuitive web-based interface. For medium and larger installations, Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) provides centralized management, and regularly analyses the wireless network, automatically optimizing AP settings to reduce interference and minimize coverage gaps—all with no user intervention. AWC-SC (Smart Connect) enables simplified deployment, and a resilient wireless solution, using wireless uplink connectivity. AWC wireless management is available on our Vista Manager EX network management platform, and from Vista Manager mini running on a number of switch and firewall products.
