Solution Benefits

• 1 / Network-Wide Management

Free to download on Windows server (or Linux via Docker), the Nuclias Connect software currently supports numerous new and legacy D-Link Access Point (AP) models, and is capable of managing up to one thousand APs without the need for additional licensing charges. Coupled with a local lite management smartphone app and an inexpensive optional hardware controller (The Hub*), Nuclias Connect is even suitable for remote locations where a dedicated PC or server might not be practical. 

• 2 / Flexibility to Meet Your Needs

Through software-based monitoring and remote management of all wireless Access Points (APs) on your network, Nuclias Connect offers tremendous flexibility compared to traditional hardwarebased management systems. Configuration can be done remotely and management software is customizable. Nuclias Connect enables control and analytics of a broad or fine granularity, presentable in a variety of formats. Additionally, admins can provide and manage a variety of distributed deployments, including the option to configure settings and customize admin accounts in a specific manner for each deployment. Nuclias Connect gives you the financial and technical flexibility to expand from a small network to a large one (up to 1,000 APs), while retaining a robust and centralized management system. 

• 3 / Easy Administration

Nuclias Connect supports multi-tenancy, so network admins can grant localized management authority for local networks. In addition, because APs can support eight SSIDs per radio, administrators have the option of using one SSID to create a guest network for visitors. Nuclias Connect allows for multiple user authentications and also makes it possible to configure specific access controls for each SSID, giving admins the option ofconfiguring separate internal networks for different subnets. Thismeans that more advanced Value-Added Services, such as Captive Portal or Wi-Fi Hotspot, can be used to help manage wireless network traffic. 

• 4 / Insights at a Glance

Gain an extensive understanding of your network through usage analytics and status reports which can be viewed easily at a glance. Insights derived from traffic data can create business value. Traffic can be viewed across the entire network or at the level of a single AP.

5 / Network Security and Data Privacy
Nuclias Connect balances the need for access convenience with the need for security. All communications over the system are encrypted (WPA2/WPA31), with your user data never leaving your possession. Additional security measures (such as firewalls) can also be added to your network, with no unneeded technical difficulty.
