Cisco Small Business Wi-Fi Access Points Integration
Small Business Series of Access Points
Cisco's Small Business series of APs are Linux-powered devices engineered as value-priced wireless APs for light workloads. Most models in the Cisco Small Business line of access points work with Cisco's Single Point Setup technology, which makes it possible to set up, manage and repair a cluster of access points from a single AP through a simple web browser interface. All versions include Power over Ethernet and provide Quality of Service (QoS), rogue AP awareness, and bridging for connecting to another network.
