Cisco Wireless LAN Systems —Easy to Manage as Always!

Cisco Wireless LAN systems enhance the mobility experience by several notches compared to other offerings and offer anytime access to information without compromising the quality of experience provided by the ideal wireless network.

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) represents a flexible data communication system which is used in a building or the environs of a campus. Radio frequency is used to transmit data and hence wired connections are not used. Cisco’s mobility solutions help to gain secure access to different network resources which does help in boosting productivity and responsiveness in the long run. Cisco Aironet Series Access Point Wireless LANs are one of the first of its type produced by the company. Some of the interesting features of the series are:

Single band autonomous access point utilizing dual diversity antenna connectors

Offers versatility, high capacity and world class security

Laced with enterprise-class features required by industrial wLAN customers

Flexible enough to field upgrade to a dual-band

Available in lightweight version, or autonomous version which might be upgraded to lightweight operation.

Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is versatile and secure and also laced with enterprise-class features similar to the 1200 series. It is designed specifically for very demanding RF environments especially, in factories, and warehouses. The best part is their rugged metal enclosure, and temperature range of the operations. This series can also be configured to support Enterprise Wireless Mesh which enables connectivity through access points thus dispelling the need for wired connections. 2.4-GHz frequency is used to deliver network access to users in remote areas while a5-GHz band is enough for those using Ethernet ports. The mounting bracket in this series actually locks the access point and Ethernet to prevent any kind of theft.

There is another version available in Cisco Wireless LAN series which is very popular, the Cisco 1130 series. This series packs in high capacity, high security, and state-of-the-art enterprise-class features delivering low TCO always. This has similar features like the Aironet 1240. With optional Cisco WirelessPLUS software, this series can be configured to support the OfficeExtend solution too. This will result in highly secure, wireless teleworking too.

In short, all Cisco Wireless LAN offerings do have the following features with some changes of their own:

Secure Mobility

Remote and Teleworking Solutions
