Compact Yet Powerful WLAN Controller for Small to Medium Networks

Last Updated on May 30, 2025

AltaiCare Mini AC100 is an affordable and easy-to-use WLAN controller designed for small to medium-sized businesses. Despite its palm-sized form factor, it is equipped with a 4-core, 4-thread CPU, enabling it to manage up to 100 Altai APs effortlessly.

The goal of the AltaiCare Mini is to simplify the deployment, operation, and maintenance of your Wi-Fi infrastructure. It offers centralized visibility and control over the APs and user access, all manageable through a single box. Ideal for offices, hotels, educational institutions, and factories, this cost-effective solution delivers exceptional value and reliability, ensuring your network operates at peak performance.

Key Features and Benefits

Centralized Visibility and Control:

Experience seamless management with zero-touch provisioning and monitoring of up to 100 Altai access points through a single-pane web interface. Benefit from real-time performance metrics and instant alert notifications to keep your network running smoothly.

Effortless Captive Portal Setup:

Create a fully customizable captive portal with stylish templates for guest Wi-Fi access. Choose from various login methods, including a simple click-through, user sign-ups, and guest vouchers, making it easy to accommodate diverse user needs.

Robust Security for Enterprise Network:

Ensure secure access with role-based 802.1X/EAP authentication, allowing for dynamic VLAN assignments, data control, session control and bandwidth throttling. The AltaiCare Mini supports a built-in RADIUS user database and can redirect to external RADIUS servers, providing flexible and secure network access control.

Comprehensive Reporting and Analytics:

Leverage extensive reporting options with up to 12 months of historical data retention and one month of user login history. This feature enables long-term trend analysis, helping you make informed decisions to optimize network performance.

Efficient Distributed Data Traffic Forwarding:

Separate user data from management traffic for enhanced efficiency. User data is routed directly to its destination through the existing network infrastructure, minimizing latency and ensuring smooth data flow.
