For deployment of up to 150 APs, Cisco recommends the Cisco 3504 WLC and Cisco Mobility Express. The Cisco 3504 WLC supports up to 150 APs, making it suitable for the given requirement. Cisco Mobility Express, while typically designed for smaller deployments, is also recommended for deployments not exceeding 100 APs, and therefore still aligns closely with the requirement.

Mobility Express runs the wireless LAN controller function on an access point, which simplifies deployment and management, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. It requires provisioning to configure the controller, allowing customization and control over the network settings. Additionally, it supports simple Over-the-Air configurations, making the setup process user-friendly and efficient, catering to environments with fewer resources or technical expertise.
