The AZ-5000-WS5 series supports up to 64 access points and 1,024 users. In addition to supporting up to 64 APs, the AZ-5000-WS5 can support up to 256 Access Points APs, ensuring constant network flexibility specifically designed for rapidly expanding network needs.
The AZ-5000-WS5 also provides various features such as reliable authentication methods and data encryption, user policies that depend on your need, bandwidth control or limiting, and even other wireless protection capabilities. Delivering superior performance and ensured flexibility, the AZ-5000-WS5 requires a low cost of implementation yet ensuring amazing flexibility as your network need continually expands and scales.
Centralized Forwarding Architecture
Aztech AP Controller series’ centralized forwarding architecture provide following benefits:
- All AP management and client data traffic are sent to the AC through the secure CAPWAP tunnel. Then AC forwards the wireless data traffic to the outbound network and vice versa.
- Unified, secure wireless traffic management.

Auto RF Provisioning
Auto Channel Selection
- Automatically select proper channel and assign to managed APs
- Readjust channels by schedule (ex. at certain time, upon a certain interval)
- When inserting new AP, the AP scans the RF area for occupied channels and selects a channel from the available non-interfering, or clear channels.
Auto Transmit Power Adjustment
- Automatically adjust the power according to the strength changes of RF signals broadcasting by other APs

Authentication and Authorization
- Access Control by VLAN or SSID
- URL Black & White List
- User authentication through RADIUS server
- User portal authentication control through built-in or external portal server
- Wireless Authentication: Open/Shared/802.1x/WPA/WPA2/PSK
