A single NXC-8160 controller can support up to eight NWA-8500 APs with power supplied via PoE. For larger deployments, multiple controllers are connected via virtual stacking, where one controller manages the other controllers in the stack.
The total per link cost is approximately $618.00 for a system consisting of one NXC-8160 controller and eight NWA-8500 APs. The controller and APs will be available July 1.
