Solutions
Cisco no longer has a direct replacement for the Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) on Access Point. Customers are advised to:
- Convert EWC-based access points to lightweight (CAPWAP) mode and use a Cisco WLC.
- Consider Cisco Meraki cloud-managed wireless for future deployments.
Explore the Cisco Technology Migration Program to trade-in EWC products. - Check for availability of refurbished EWC units through the Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment program.
- Utilize Cisco’s Takeback and Recycle program to properly dispose of end-of-life EWC products.
At ITM, we are committed to ensuring a seamless transition for our customers. Our team of experts is ready to provide personalized guidance and support throughout this process.
