Technical Data Sheet: Cisco AIR-CT5508-12-K9
The 5508 Series is known for its non-blocking, wire-speed performance and ability to consolidate management for up to 500 Access Points (APs).
Core Specifications
Feature Details Base AP Support 12 Access Points (Included) Maximum Scalability Up to 500 Access Points (via Adder Licenses) Throughput 8 Gbps Aggregate Concurrent Clients Up to 7,000 Clients Interfaces 8 x Gigabit Ethernet SFP slots Redundancy Dual Hot-Swappable AC Power Supplies Form Factor 1RU Rack-mountable Licensing and Scaling Variants at SKYRS
The “12-K9” is the starting point. SKYRS facilitates rapid scaling through both hardware and digital “Adder” licenses:
Base Models: 12, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 AP variants.
Adder Licenses: L-LIC-CT5508-5A, 25A, 50A, and 100A (e-delivery available).
High Availability (HA): AIR-CT5508-HA-K9 variant for sub-second failover.
Deployment and Installation at SKYRS
SKYRS provides end-to-end installation services in major hubs like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, ensuring the controller is integrated into your core network infrastructure.
Hardware Installation Steps
Rack Integration: Standard 19-inch rack mounting. We ensure 1RU clearance and verify front-to-back airflow for the 5508 chassis.
Connectivity: We utilize the 8 SFP ports to create Link Aggregation Groups (LAG), providing a high-bandwidth, redundant path to your core switches (e.g., Catalyst 9000 or 6500 series).
Power Resilience: Given the power conditions in local industrial zones, SKYRS installs dual power supplies to ensure zero downtime during a single PSU failure.
Topology Architecture
The 5508 acts as the central brain. All Access Points connect via CAPWAP tunnels, allowing the controller to manage security, RF interference, and roaming centrally.
Configuration and Availability at SKYRS
Our engineers provide a “hardened” configuration that is tuned specifically for the Pakistani regulatory environment.
Localized Configuration Protocol
Regulatory Domain (PK): We strictly configure the controller with the “PK” country code. This ensures your wireless network remains compliant with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) laws regarding frequency and transmit power.
CleanAir Technology: Activation of Cisco CleanAir to detect and bypass non-WiFi interference common in dense urban areas.
Application Visibility (AVC): Setting up NBAR-2 to prioritize mission-critical apps (ERP, Video Conferencing) over recreational data.
Guest Anchoring: Implementation of secure DMZ-based guest portals for corporate visitors.
Why Source Exclusively from SKYRS?
In-Country Spares: Immediate availability of replacement fan trays, SFPs (GLC-T, GLC-SX-MM), and power cords.
License Management: We handle the PAK registration and activation process for all “Adder” licenses on your behalf.
On-Site Support: Direct technical intervention for site audits and troubleshooting across Pakistan.
