Illustrative example
Where you are today
- A small IT team looking after dozens of locations
- No appetite for another server, its certificates, patches and backups
- Wi-Fi settings that should be identical everywhere, and aren't quite
With CloudWLC
- A hosted controller that is provisioned, secured and operated for you
- All branches on one controller, organised as sites
- Your existing WLANs and AP groups imported and checked before anything switches
What you get
Specific benefits, not a feature list.
Central management, kept
You stay in control of WLANs, groups and devices across every location, from a controller that is yours.
Nothing new to maintain
No hardware, hypervisor, operating system or certificate renewals. The controller simply exists, at its own address.
Every branch is a site
One controller manages many locations. Opening a branch means adding a site, not building anything.
Your configuration comes with you
Supported WLANs, AP groups and related settings are imported for you, and verified before migration proceeds.
A changeover you schedule
Select the access points, review the new controller address and switch when it suits the business — a region or a handful of branches at a time.
Straightforward ownership
One account, one dashboard, a subscription per controller. Easy to explain to finance and easy to hand over within the team.
Account → controllers → sites
One controller is usually enough.
A single controller manages many branches. A second one earns its place when you operate in distinct regions, separate business units or want different maintenance schedules.

Getting started
A short path from sign-up to switched
Cambium and UniFi estates are self-service from sign-up to switch. Running Aruba or Ruckus? Tell us what you run.
- 01
Create
Open an account and deploy your controller. Provisioning and HTTPS are automatic.
- 02
Connect
Link your existing estate. You sign in to your current platform yourself, in your own browser.
- 03
Import
Your configuration is prepared on the new controller and verified.
- 04
Switch
Move a pilot group of branches, confirm they've checked in, then move the rest.
We have a lot of small sites. Does that change anything?
Not structurally: each location is a site on the same controller. Plans include an access point allowance per controller, so the number of devices matters more than the number of sites.
Can our network partner do the migration for us?
Yes. The workflow suits an installer or MSP working on your behalf, either in your CloudWLC account or from their own.
What do we need before we start?
A login for the controller you use today, the Chrome browser, and compatible access points. The portal guides you through the rest.
From the network assurance specialists
Run by the people who build hospitality networks.
CloudWLC is built and operated by Optaro. We have deployed more than 10,000 access points for major hospitality venues around the world, and we build the platforms that monitor and assure those networks every day. Hosting your controller is the same discipline, applied to the part of the network you would rather not run yourself.
