Cisco shapes future of mobile business with Next-Generation 802

Mumbai, Sept.14 (ANI): Continuing its leadership and innovation in delivering integrated solutions that allow business to take full advantage of mobility applications, Cisco today introduced the industry's only integrated 802.11n solution designed to combine superior wireless performance and reliability with simplicity of deployment.

Cisco's next-generation Unified Wireless Network offering includes the modular Cisco Aironet 1250 Series access point, the first enterprise-class 11n access point available on the market, as well as the 48 Gbps scalable Cisco Catalys 6500-based wireless local-area network controller system, and wired and wireless services with the Unified Wireless Network Release 4.2. Cisco will also deliver, via its family of Catalyst switches, the ability to fully power the dual-radio Aironet 1250 Series from a single Ethernet port.

Cisco's new Aironet 1250 Series access point is the industry's first Wi-Fi-certified 802.11n draft 2.0 access point and the only commercially available product to have participated in the Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11n draft 2.0 testbed, establishing it as the industry benchmark against which all other products will be certified for Wi-Fi interoperability.

Cisco has applied its experience in radio frequency communications to deliver a fivefold increase in throughput and multiple-in, multiple-out (MIMO) technology to help ensure high reliability of wireless coverage, particularly for challenging RF environments including those found in healthcare, education, warehousing, logistics and manufacturing.

As a market leader in advanced network technologies, Cisco offers global customers the confidence to deploy pervasive next-generation wireless networks with the expectation of highly secure compatibility from infrastructure to client.

By testing with Intel, Cisco is helping to ensure that its next-generation wireless solutions offer more reliable performance and greater compatibility between Intel-based client devices and Cisco wireless networks.

In all, more than 90 percent of enterprise laptops have Wi-Fi silicon that is Cisco Compatible Extensions certified, providing the industry's best capabilities for simple, highly secure connectivity. (With Inputs from ANI)
