Title: Cisco 3504 WLC
Post by: SimonV on May 18, 2017, 01:44:36 PM
Just noticed Cisco has publically announced the new 3504 controller.

Datasheet: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/3504-wireless-controller/datasheet-c78-738484.html

Hope the "simplified" GUI is not too simplified or just a start page you can click away. Checking out the datasheet now.

Looks pretty good on the data sheet... like to know more about the GUI and how different it is from the current WLC GUI.

Looks better than the previous one too, glad they are moving away from the Cisco green. Wouldn't look bad under my Juniper switches :)

Turns out to be a lot more expensive than the 2504 (around 40%). Hard to position it as the successor to the 2504 with this price difference. Pretty sure Cisco will put the 2504 to EoL soon, so I wonder what the alternative will be. Mobility Express is definitely not mature enough.
