PowerCloud Systems Enhances Industry's Only Cloud-Based Wi-Fi Platform For SMBs: Page 2 of 2

Ease of use
Streamlined Interface Makes It Easier than Ever to Deploy and Manage Networks:  A streamlined interface with improved navigation and more comprehensive reporting tools makes network setup and management simpler and faster than ever.  Adding a new access point to a network now takes less than 3 minutes on average.    

Manageability

  • Optional Access Point Autonomous Mode Delivers Continuous Coverage:  Optional autonomous mode transforms access points into independent devices, controllable via local user interface and not requiring a web service subscription (thereby preserving the hardware investment and ensuring local connectivity).
  • VLAN Tagging Means Better Traffic Management and Security:  VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) enables both primary and guest networks to be individually tagged to direct traffic to specific VLANs for complete traffic segregation, filtering and bandwidth control.  
  • Diagnostic Tool Delivers Improved Performance:  A connectivity status diagnostics tool enables access points to report detailed connection information to the CloudCommand virtualized network controller platform, greatly simplifying remote diagnostics and issue resolutions.  
  • One-Click Firmware Update Increases Network Management Efficiency: Improved firmware updating now executes with a single mouse click, allowing all access points to automatically update.
  • Active Power Management Boosts Performance: Transmission power management control enables adjusting the transmission power level of individual access points to minimize interference and maximize performance.

Security
Device Isolation Gives Connected Users More Protection than Ever: Guest network client isolation now guarantees security and complete privacy for devices connecting to the Internet via the guest network.
