Cisco Access Points (WAPs Cisco wireless access points) offer secure, easy-to-manage, and reliable connectivity with exceptional coverage and efficiency. Centrally managed lightweight WAPs work together with Cisco's wireless LAN controllers and Cisco's Wireless Control System (WCS). Cisco provides access points with either single 802.11g radio for up to 54 Mbps of capacity or dual 802.11g transceiver access points supporting both 802.11g and 802.11a to deliver up to 108 Mbps of throughput. The Aironet line features WAPs designed for workplaces and similar facilities, for challenging RF environments such as manufacturing plants and warehouses, and for the outdoors. These appliances can be installed on desks, on walls, on ceilings, above ceilings, and on top of towers. Aironet Wireless Mesh access points allow economical, scalable deployment of protected outdoor wireless networks utilizing Mesh technology.
All Aironet access points accommodate the Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN), an architecture for wired and wireless interfacing that provides high degrees of security, manageability, and functionality.
Cisco Aironet 1000/1130AG Series access points are intended for offices and other environments which have minimal environmental variability. These products include built-in antennas that provide dependable omnidirectional range profiles. The Cisco Aironet 1130G family device is designed for regulatory domains that do not allow 802.11a/5GHz transmission.
Aironet 1230AG/1240AG family access points are designed for more challenging RF situations like manufacturing plants and warehouses or above ceiling structures which commonly call for flexible protruding antennas and rugged metal cases. The 1240G Series access point is intended for regulatory domains that do not allow 802.11a operation.
Aironet 1500 lightweight outdoor wireless mesh access points deliver an economical, expandable, secure outdoor wireless solution for enterprise campus and public access for portable devices in outside areas.
Cisco Wireless LAN Bridges Cisco Aironet wireless LAN bridges provide a high-performance and multi-featured technology for integrating multiple local area networks in a metro area or public wireless environment. Cisco Aironet wireless bridges offer a flexible, manageable solution that satisfies the security demands of WAN professionals. These devices handle both P2P and PTMP configurations with outstanding range and the ability to handle data throughput up to 54 Mbps.
Cisco wireless LAN bridges offer throughput significantly faster than E1/T1 links for far less cost, doing away with the requirement for expensive leased lines when linking separate offices. Because wireless bridges have no recurring charges, the expenses saved on connection bills rapidly pay for the startup equipment investment. Self-installed private lines and in some cases leased lines using copper or fiber-optic cable can result in very expensive up-front costs when they are separated by obstacles such as highways, train tracks, or lakes and rivers. Cisco Aironet wireless bridges can be deployed quickly with a fast return on investment.
Aironet 1300 outdoor wireless access points/bridges can be deployed as stand-alone wireless access points, wireless bridges, or wireless group bridges. These appliances have a tough cover and offer fast, economical wireless connectivity between multiple fixed or mobile networks and users.
Cisco Aironet 1400 Series wireless bridges offer high-performance, dependable outside wireless bridging for line-of-sight (LOS) applications. These devices include an all-weather enclosure that can hold up to harsh outdoor conditions and function in extended temperature extremes.
Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters attach a range of products to a wireless network either in impromptu peer-to-peer mode or in infrastructure mode with access points. Cisco Aironet Wireless Client Adapters work with Aironet network products to offer seamless wireless local area network implementations.
Available in CardBus, PCMCIA and PCI formats, Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters easily connect PC and portable computers to the wireless LAN in 802.11x-compatible networks. Thanks to Cisco Wireless Client cards, businesses can instantly add additional workers to a system, support temporary teams, or enable web connectivity in meeting rooms.
Capable of a full 100 mW of transmit power and the best receive sensitivity in the industry, the Cisco 350 Series Wireless LAN Client cards offer the best coverage and top reliability in the industry for wireless clients. Advanced signal processing in the Cisco Aironet 350 Series Client Adapters helps manage the phase shifting often found in office environments. Intelligent filtering overcomes RF noise and signal distortion that can degrade system performance.
The Cisco Aironet 350 wireless LAN cards provide high speed so workers can enjoy virtually the identical access they get from wired connections. Based on DSSS engineering and running in the 2.4-GHz band, the Cisco 350 wireless LAN Adapters adhere to the IEEE 802.11b specification, which supports compatibility with all compliant WLAN products.
WLAN Controllers WLAN Controllers are designed to manage centralized WLAN functions, such as integrated intrusion prevention system (IPS), fast RF management, zero touch configuration, and full N+1 redundancy. WLAN controllers work with lightweight access points and a management mechanism to offer enhanced throughput and high-end management functions.
Cisco WLAN Controllers offer the manageability, expandability, security, and reliability that IT managers need to create safe, enterprise-scale wireless solutions, from branch offices, to small businesses, to main campuses. Cisco Wireless Network Controllers can be configured together to provide accommodation for up to 2400 WAPs for each roaming domain.
The Cisco WLCM or WLCM-E Controller Module for IS Routers offers small-to medium businesses and enterprises an economical solution to deploy and manage protected wireless networks at branch offices. These products supervise up to twelve Aironet lightweight WAPs and are supported on 2800/3800 IS Routers and 3700 Series IS Routers.
The Cisco 2106 Series Wireless LAN Controller works. operates in conjunction with Aironet lightweight access points and the Cisco WCS platform to support centralized wireless network functions. The Cisco 2106 WLC supports as many as six Cisco lightweight access points, offering a sensible solution for multi-controller environments common for enterprise branch office installations. Cisco's 2106 Series WLC may also be used for single device deployments for small and medium-sized business (SMB) environments. The Cisco 2106 Series WLC includes eight Ethernet ports, two of which can supply power to Cisco Aironet lightweight wireless access points.
Cisco's 4400 WLC provides systemwide wireless network functions for medium to enterprise facilities. Cisco's 4400 Wireless LAN Controller works together with Aironet lightweight wireless access points, the the Cisco WCS platform, and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance to support vital wireless mixed media applications. The Cisco 4400 WLC offers instant coordination between Cisco Aironet lightweight access points and other wireless LAN controllers to offer centralized security policies, IPS capabilities, advanced RF management, quality of service (QoS), and mobility.
