InControl: Zero-Touch Provisioning

InControl makes your network scalable. From any web browser, you could remotely push a wide range of settings to multiple devices in your network.

QoS: Determine Traffic Priority

QoS enables you to assign different priority levels to different types of traffic. Minimize latency by giving high priority to VoIP traffic. Control data costs by limiting the speed of bandwidth-intensive applications.
