The Cisco®
Aironet®
1250 Series is the first enterprise-class access point to
support the IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 standard. 802.11n offers
combined data rates of up to 600 Mbps to provide users with
mobile access to high-bandwidth data, voice, and video
applications regardless of their location. Through the use
of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, 802.11n
also provides reliable and predictable WLAN coverage to
improve the end-user experience for both existing
802.11a/b/g clients and new 802.11n clients.
The robust Cisco Aironet®
1250 Series Access Point (Figure 1) is a modular platform
designed to be easily field-upgradeable to support a variety
of wireless capabilities. This modularity allows businesses
to deploy existing wireless technologies today with the
confidence that their network investment will extend to
support emerging and future wireless technologies.
The platform was specifically engineered to support the
power, throughput, and mechanical requirements of
higher-speed WLAN technologies, including 802.11n.
Currently, the platform provides both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz
modules compliant with the IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 standard.
As technology evolves, the platform is flexible to support
future radio modules designed to deliver intelligent RF
services, further enhancing the performance and reliability
of the wireless network. The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series is a
rugged indoor access point designed for both office and
challenging RF environments such as factories, warehouses,
hospitals and large retail establishments that require the
antenna versatility associated with connectorized antennas,
a rugged metal enclosure, and a broad operating temperature
range. With a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) interface, the
Cisco Aironet 1250 Series delivers line-rate throughput for
higher-speed WLAN technologies such as 802.11n. The access
point offers the flexibility of inline as well as local
power options.
