Controller
Asteria Campus Controller is a free-to-access controller software based on the OpenWiFi standard. You can obtain the latest controller software and user manual here. The first two chapters of the manual explain how to install the controller. The attachment in this post provides deployment guidance for a Layer2 network, which you can follow to begin your OpenWiFi journey.
-
Switches
Only Asterfusion campus switches support being managed by Asteria Campus Controller. You can get more information from Asterfusion offical website: https://cloudswit.ch/product-category/sonic-access-aggregation-switch/
-
Access Points
Asterfusion APs or any APs that comply with the OpenWiFi standard can be managed by the Asteria Campus Controller, but specific operating system software is required. We have listed the third-party AP software currently supported (such as Edgecore, SonicFi, etc.) in Space Documents. Software installation guide is posted here. Without a license, you can try any management and configuration operations, but the AP will not be able to activate the RF. Please contact sales to obtain a license for the AP.
-
Routers
Routers based on OpenWRT will be supported for management in the controller version of September 2025. Stay tuned!
-
Remote Demo for Temporary Evaluation
We have 5 online demo environments available for your initial evaluation when it’s inconvenient to get Asterfusion switches. Please contact sales or leave a post here to obtain authorization for the demo environments.
