Three key reasons why the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar is a perfect fit for your public WiFi project:

Distributed intelligence	Scalable: any project size	Cost effective
Distributed intelligence on every AP eliminates: The controller costs Performance bottlenecks points of failure ZTP and management from the private municipal cloud	Thousands of APs managed from a single pane of glass. Up to 4000 APs Without hardware controllers, the solution can scale from 1 to thousands of APs without the capacity constraints and costs of controllers.	Simple licensing based on AP count Linear costs, linked to the number of APs No hardware controllers costs Cost-effective in any deployment size (small, medium, large, extra-large)
802.11ac and beyond	City-scalable Wi-Fi	Faster ROI
