Legacy Cisco Access Points, LAN Bridges and Wireless Controllers Supported by Progent
The 802.11ac specification for Wi-Fi virtually made obsolete all previous generations of Wi-Fi products for venues that have high densities of wireless clients and high usage of video-intensive software applications. Even for organizations who do not currently require the performance of 802.11ac Wi-Fi, a large number of Cisco wireless products have arrived at end-of-sale or end-of-support status, which can pose significant service and regulatory compliance problems. Progent's Cisco-certified consulting experts offer online and onsite support services for a wide array of older-generation wireless products from Cisco. Progent can in addition help companies to evaluate the potential ROI for updating up-of-date wireless infrastructure and can assist in planning and carrying out cost-effective, seamless upgrades. The following are a few of Cisco legacy wireless products that Progent's consulting experts still support.
Legacy Cisco Aironet APs
Aironet 1000 or 1130AG family APs are intended for conventional workplaces and similar locations which have minimal environmental variability. These devices have integrated antennas that provide predictable radio range patterns. The Cisco 1130G family WAP is offered for regulated locations that do not allow 5GHz transmission.
Aironet 1230AG or 1240AG Series wireless access points are ideal for more difficult RF environments such as manufacturing plants and warehouses or above suspended ceilings which typically call for flexible protruding antennas and durable enclosures. The Cisco Aironet 1240G Series access point is available for controlled domains that do not allow 802.11a/5GHz operation.
Cisco Aironet 1500 lightweight outside mesh APs offer an affordable, scalable, protected outdoor wireless network mechanism for campus areas and for public venues that need connectivity for mobile phones or computers.

Server consolidation via a virtual architecture offers lower total cost of ownership of servers and faster return on investment, more leveraged utilization of physical computers, simplified operations, increased network uptime, and easier management. Common uses for virtual machines include hardware consolidation, low-cost platforms for mission-critical legacy applications running on outdated operating systems, and affordable isolation of program development or pilot testing environments from production systems.
