Cisco has announced a next-generation wireless access point that combines full 802.11n performance with deployment simplicity, enabling businesses to support the growing wave and diversity of mobile devices and applications.
The new Cisco Aironet 1140 Series Access Point is introduced at a time when businesses are becoming increasingly mobile and collaborative. The Wi-Fi Certified 802.11n Draft 2.0 access point is designed to meet the need for integrating high-quality voice, video and rich media across wireless networks.
The Cisco Aironet 1140 Series Access Point offers full 802.11n performance with security while using standard Power over Ethernet (PoE). The new access point combines a sleek design with power efficiency to simplify deployment in office environments.
Cisco M-Drive Technology
In addition, Cisco has introduced Cisco M-Drive Technology – a set of features that delivers a reliable and consistent radio frequency (RF) platform that simplifies wireless adoption and enhances 802.11n performance.
ClientLink, a feature of Cisco M-Drive Technology, will help extend the useful life of existing 802.11a/g devices while enhancing the performance of new 802.11n devices. The technology will use beam forming to improve the throughput for existing 802.11a/g devices, increase overall wireless channel capacity and reduce wireless coverage holes for legacy devices.
The new access point takes advantage of the above technology. The main benefits of Cisco M-Drive Technology include improving wireless coverage and capacity, optimising device connections, and simplifying wireless management.
Other Features
As part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the Cisco Aironet 1140 Series Access Point integrates easily into any enterprise network targeting investment protection and a low total cost of ownership. Going further, the access point can be ordered in a new Eco-Pack, a 10-access point bulk pack that reduces packaging by 50 percent and allows simpler staging and installation.
