Grandstream offers two types of wireless network devices: Grandstream Access Points (APs) and Grandstream Access Controllers (ACs).
Access Points (APs) are wireless networking devices that connect to local devices such as computers, cellphones, and tablets. Grandstream access points offer dual-band wireless connectivity, high-speed data transmission, secure authentication, and simple configuration. They are commonly found in small-to-medium-sized wireless networks and can be administered via a web interface or a centralized management application.
Grandstream Access Controller (AC), on the other hand, is a network device used to manage and control many Access Points (APs) in a large-scale wireless network. It offers centralized configuration and control of many APs, real-time network monitoring and reporting, and the ability to impose network policies and security measures. Grandstream AC enables administrators to handle APs from many manufacturers while also providing comprehensive network management features such as real-time performance monitoring, user authentication and access control, and network security. The Grandstream AC can be managed via a web-based interface or a centralized administration tool, making it a versatile and simple solution for administering large-scale wireless networks.
Access Points from Grandstream are best suited for small to medium-sized networks, whilst Access Controllers are better suited for large-scale wireless networks requiring central management and control of several APs.
