The simplicity of use

Standalone |  Integrated controller | External controller

Standalone

Infinity series access points are configured individually via the web interface. This traditional scenario is suitable for small networks that do not require centralized management and maintenance. Infinity OS is a highly functional and easy to use operating system. This powerful and flexible operating system ensures flawless operation of LigoWave hardware devices and effortless setup for those deploying the networks.

1.  Responsive HTML 5 based GUI
2. 128 concurrent clients per radio
3.  8 virtual networks (SSID+VLAN) per radio interface
4.  IPv6 support

Integrated Controller

Each Infinity series access point supports controller-less architecture, which is ideal for small to medium size deployments (up to 50 access points). This functionality is available with firmware NFT v7.54. An Integrated setup wizard allows quick and easy setup. Master access point works as a controller and shares the configuration with managed access points at the same time collecting statistical information. This unique architecture allows secure, scalable, cost-effective and simple deployments in any industry.

1. Centralized configuration
2. Centralized monitoring and management
3. Easy setup and maintenance

How It works

Ideal for small to medium networks with up to 50 devices

One user interface to control and manage the network
devices are configured and managed via web interface of “Master AP”.

Easy to scale and install

An integrated controller has a wizard which guides through all the necessary steps to configure the device. Once the “Master AP” is running all “Managed APs” are discovered and centrally configured (Note: by default all Infinity devices are running in “Managed AP” operating mode). This simplifies the expansion and replacement by supporting plug and play device installation.

External Controller

Infinity controller is a software platform to configure and manage Wi-Fi networks based on LigoWave devices. It is available for two platforms Linux or VM VirtualBox (Supporting Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems) and Cloud based version too. Software image is free and available in downloads section. The controller supports unlimited amount of devices (taking into account sufficient hardware resources are available) and is ideal for large networks that can be remotely located across the country and even different continents.

1.  Centralized configuration
2. Centralized monitoring and management
3. Easy setup and maintenance
4. Scalability
5. Security

Cloud based Infinity cloud controller trial account is free and supports up to 50 Infinity series wireless access points.

HOW IT WORKS

Easy Mesh ( External Controller only)

Terminology:

1. Mesh AP – an AP that has a wired connection to the network and which provides wireless access to end users as well to Node APs. 
2. Node AP – an AP that is connected wirelessly to another node AP or to a Mesh AP and which provides wireless access to end users and can serve as a backhaul connection to other Node APs.
3. Backhaul – a wireless connection between APs.
4. Access – a wireless connection to end users.

This feature is supported by the External NFT controller only. Any NFT AP (including LigoDLB with NFT firmware) can be used in this type of network. A single-radio AP creates a backhaul and an access at the same time. A dual-radio AP uses 5GHz for access and backhaul or just for backhaul (configurable), while a 2.4GHz radio is for access only.

Easy to deploy and manage

Centralized configuration, auto-provisioning, historical statistical data collection and plug and play device replacement simplifies expansion and supervision of networks.

Scale to thousands

Infinity controller allows managing unlimited number of devices (taking into account there is sufficient hardware resources on the server side). Multiple remote networks can be controlled via the same system.

Highly secure

Multiple user roles and encrypted communication channel ensures protection of your network from external threats.
