” Universal WLAN authentication for diverse users and devices
” VoIP-QoS and bandwidth management to prevent network contention issues

The BSC-600 and BSC-1200, also available in April, as well as the BSC-5200, available in March, will support smaller networks, ranging from eight to 150 APs, offering the same high-performance to small and medium-sized businesses.
