Deployment Recommendations
The Cisco Mobility Express is an integral part of the Cisco Smart Business Communications System
(SBCS), and comprises the mobility solution tools, including the WLC526 controller and Cisco 500
series access points. All elements of the SBCS share intuitive GUI-based management tools (such as
