Smart Wireless Experience

●Intelligent Identification of Smart Devices

The RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller with built-in portal server intelligently identifies the type of smart device. According to the device features, the wireless controller adaptively presents a portal authentication page in the corresponding size and page layout. The intelligent identification of smart devices eliminates the trouble of screen size adjustment and offers better wireless user experience. This technology supports all mainstream operating systems including Apple iOS, Android, and Windows.

●Fair Scheduling

The RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller cooperates with Ruijie APs to offer equal access time for smart devices running different standards such as 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, etc. The feature solves the problems such as high latency and low network speed caused by use of an old wireless LAN card which is far away from the AP. The RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller ensures a fair high-speed wireless network for all users with any devices anywhere and anytime.

●Intelligent Load Balancing

On a high-density wireless LAN, the RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller teams up with Ruijie APs to intelligently distribute users among different APs according to the number of users and data traffic in real time. This feature balances the load pressure on each AP and improves the average bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS), offering higher network availability. In addition to the role-based and traffic-based balancing features, the RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller also enables load balancing in terms of frequency range. Since the majority of WiFi devices use 2.4GHz by default while frequency above 5GHz (802.11a/n/ac) can offer better throughput performance. With the frequency-based load balancing, the Wireless Controller allows users with dual-band devices to connect to the 5GHz as first priority. Bandwidth usage is greatly increased by 30-40% with no additional cost. The RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller hence delivers the best-in-class high-speed wireless performance to the Ruijie clients.

High Performance and Reliability

●Centralized or Distributed Intelligent Switching

The RG-WS6816 High-Performance Wireless Controller can be deployed at Layer 2 or Layer 3 level without modifying the original network architecture as it forms an integrated switching architecture with the wireless APs. The RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller provides ease in data switching management of all APs.

With the industry-leading local forwarding technology, the RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller eliminates the traffic bottleneck of traditional Wireless Controllers. The local forwarding technology allows flexible deployment of data forwarding in the AP. It means that the AP can determine whether to forward all data via the RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller according to a Service Set ID (SSID) or user VLAN, or to send the data directly to a wired network for data communication. The local forwarding technology enables large-scale, delay-sensitive, and real-time data transmission via the wired network. With the high throughput of 802.11ac, it greatly alleviates the traffic pressure on the RG-WS6816 Wireless Controller.
