AP EWC EOS

[Questions]

EWC became EOS.
I see that there are no replacements
CISCO got rid of the controller to sell it?

[Ambuj M]

Yes,it was sort of inevitable, you still have plenty of time for existing setup before support ends.

[Scott Fella]

It depends on what access points you currently have.  If you want to stay Cisco, you can look at getting a 9800 controller or even use a 9800-CL. Eventually its the support of EWC that you have to worry about along with the end of security patches, which is what I go by.  I didn't mention any AireOS controllers, because that is already EOS.

All the new APs can be managed from Cloud (Meraki dashboard) if you don't want a controller.
As per the EOS notice:
"For future deployment customers are encouraged to deploy the Cisco Meraki native cloud offerings."
