    Trying to find a quick answer if you can tie Airwave into your Central deployment.

     

    Thanks!

    No. They are completely separate products/solutions.

     

    Generally you'd bring Instant and MAS into AirWave if you already have it.

    Thanks for the quick response!  Customer has a mixture of IAPs with Central at remote locations and Controller based at HQ.

    You should definitely consider managing your Instant APs in AirWave. It will give you a single pane of glass for monitoring the entire wireless infrastructure.

    OK, that would be nice.  Central is not needed then?  I guess I'm not "up" on what Central does exactly.  Thanks!

    Correct. Central is a cloud-hosted service that is a great alternative to AirWave when using Instant or Mobility Access Switches. 

     

    This is a great thread:
