The Cisco® Aironet® 1100 Series Access Point provides a high-speed, secure, affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN solution that combines the freedom and flexibility of wireless networking with the features and services required in enterprise networks. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series uses radio and network management features for simplified deployment, along with integrated diversity dipole antennas that provide robust and predictable WLAN coverage for offices and similar RF environments. The access point offers flexibility and investment protection for wireless networks.
The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series supports a single 802.11g radio. Users can enjoy up to 54 Mbps data rates while maintaining full backward compatibility with legacy 802.11b devices. Administrators can configure the access point to support both 802.11g and legacy 802.11b clients for investment protection, or for higher performance, the access point can be configured to support only 802.11g clients. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series also features an innovative mounting system for easy installation and reliable coverage in a variety of locations and orientations.
The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series is available in two versions: unified or autonomous. Unified access points operate with the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) and work in conjunction with Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS). When configured with LWAPP, the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series can automatically detect the best-available Cisco wireless LAN controller and download appropriate policies and configuration information with no manual intervention. Autonomous access points are based on Cisco IOS® Software and may optionally operate with the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE). Autonomous access points, along with the CiscoWorks WLSE, deliver a core set of features and may be field-upgraded to take advantage of the full benefits of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network as requirements evolve.
Features and Benefits
- 2.4GHz 802.11g Radio, configurable up to 100mW delivers data rates of up to 54Mbps with backwards compatibility to legacy 802.11b equipment
- Management Frame Protection provides strong cryptographic authentication of WLAN management frames and provides detection capabilities against publicly available Intrusion Detection System (IDS) tools
- Hardware-Assisted AES Encryption provides high security without performance degradation
- Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes traffic for different application requirements and improves user experience of voice and video
- Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), a subset of the IEEE 802.11e QoS draft standard, supports QoS prioritized media access through the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) method and improves the user experience for audio, video, and voice applications over a Wi-Fi wireless connection
- Multiple Basic Service Set Identifier (MBSSID) supports up to 8 BSSIDS for configuration flexibility when segmenting traffic
- Flexible Mounting Orientations for installation in a wide range of locations, including walls, ceilings, desktops, and cubicle partitions
- Anti-Theft Security Slot and Security Hasp Supports standard security cables or padlocks (not included). Locks can be single- or master-keyed for simplified inventory management
- Integrated Diversity Dipole Antennas have compact antenna profile, provide spherical coverage pattern that is optimized for any orientation, and improve reliability in high-multi-path environments such as offices
- Auto-Channel Selection determines and selects the least congested channel
- Supports Inline Power over Ethernet, which eliminates need for local AC power, reduces cable clutter, and enables deployment in remote locations
