FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Cisco wireless capacity and licensing questions for operators in Hong Kong.

Published. Hong Kong is listed in the Asia band on our shipping page at 4 to 7 days door-to-door from Cairo, and we hold to that band rather than negotiating a figure for each consignment.
Access point capacity on a wireless controller is licensed, and the licences are counted rather than unlimited. A replacement controller carries whatever entitlement it carries, which is frequently less than the estate has grown to need, so access points join until the count is reached and the remainder are refused.
Whichever ones ask last, which is effectively arbitrary. The result is an outage that moves: a different set of coverage areas is affected after each controller reload, because join order is not deterministic. That wandering symptom is why this is often chased as a radio or cabling fault rather than a licence count.
Regularly. Access points are added a few at a time as floors are refitted or coverage complaints arrive, and each addition is small enough not to prompt a licence review. The count is only tested when the controller is replaced or reset, which can be years after the estate outgrew it.
Wireless controllers, access points, Catalyst switching including the units powering the wireless, UCS components, matched optics and correctly sized supplies, on the 4 to 7 day Asia lane. Tell us the access point count you need to carry and we will match the platform to it. Every module is verified on the bench and dispatched under a recorded serial, with one to three years of cover.

Wireless Capacity Is Counted, Not Assumed

A Cisco wireless controller supports a licensed number of access points rather than an unlimited number. The licence count is a property of the specific controller and its entitlement, not of the model in general. Two physically identical controllers can therefore carry different numbers of access points, which is the detail that makes a like-for-like hardware replacement fail in a way nobody expected.

The Outage That Moves Around the Building

When the licensed count is lower than the number of access points deployed, the units join until the count is exhausted and the rest are refused. Join order after a reload is not deterministic, so a different subset is refused each time. Hong Kong operators describe this as a wireless fault that affects the tenth floor one day and the third the next, which is exactly the kind of wandering symptom that gets investigated as interference, cabling or antenna placement.

Estates outgrow the count invisibly

Access points are added a handful at a time: a floor is refitted, a meeting room is reported as a dead spot, a new tenancy needs coverage. No single addition is large enough to prompt a review of controller licensing, and the controller does not object while it still has headroom. The count is finally tested at a controller replacement or a factory reset, potentially years after the estate quietly passed the limit.

What to establish before replacing a controller

Count the access points actually deployed, not the number in the original design, and confirm the entitlement on the replacement covers that number with room to grow. This is a two-minute check that prevents a wireless outage across a building, and it is the single question we ask before quoting a controller into an estate we have not seen.

What ICD Supplies for Cisco Estates in Hong Kong

Wireless controllers matched to the access point count you actually need to carry, access points, Catalyst switching including the units providing power to the wireless estate, UCS fabric and server components, optics chosen for platform and span, and power supplies sized for the powered device load actually connected. Our published Asia band places Hong Kong at 4 to 7 days door-to-door from Cairo. Every module is verified on the bench and dispatched under a recorded serial, with one to three years of cover.
