The controller of a wireless network WLC880 is intended for large corporate wireless networks of big extent. WLC880 allows to scale a safe wireless local area network for branches and supports up to 256 access points. New opportunities of a software package include Spectrum Management ("Spectral distribution"). The complex of software tools allows to use far off wireless standards, including 802.11n and WLA-522 AP. Also to services of users – the enhanced capabilities of planning and process management which are built in tools of network management of Ringmaster ("Inspector").

Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite provides the remote workers using wireless connections, integrated and on a centralized basis with the managed solution for secure network access, antivirus software and also means of remote control and protection against theft for a set of mobile devices.
