WLC 5520 vs 9800

[rasmus.elmholt]

Hi,

I am doing a SDA design and the customer already has a 5520 controller that support SDA.

But I would like to ask them to purchase an 9800.

I know the 5520 have EOL announced, but are there any other good reasons to use a Cat9800 instead of AirOS in the fabric.

Are there any features only supported on the Cat9800?

Note : You need to Look AP compatability and code also when you moving to Cat 9800.
