Table 1 Key Features and Benefits
Feature Benefit
Enterprise Performance
2.4 GHz 802.11g or
802.11b radio,
configurable up to
100 mW
• High-performance 2.4 GHz WLAN solution that delivers data rates of up to 11 Mbps
(IEEE 802.11b) or 54 Mbps (IEEE 802.11g) with backwards compatibility to legacy
802.11b equipment
• High-quality transmitter and receiver design provides long range and reliable
coverage
Cisco IOS Software • Provides end-to-end solution support for intelligent network services
• Produces predictable and consistent network behavior
• Delivers uniform applications and services
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
support
• Allows segmentation of up to 16 user groups
• Increases system flexibility, accommodating clients with different security
requirements and capabilities
Quality of Service (QoS) • Prioritizes traffic for different application requirements
• Improves voice and video user experience
Proxy Mobile IP in Cisco
IOS Software
• Provides seamless roaming between subnets
• Enhances mobility of voice over 802.11 wireless
Wireless Domain
Services (WDS)
• Component of Cisco SWAN
• Collection of Cisco IOS Software features enhance WLAN client mobility and simplify
WLAN deployment and management
• Supports radio management aggregation, fast secure roaming and WAN link remote
site survivability
Fast Secure Roaming • Allows authenticated client devices toroam securely from oneaccess point to another
without any perceptible delay during reassociation
• Supports latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP, ERP and Citrix
WAN Link Remote Site
Survivability
• Allows the access point to act as a local RADIUS server to IEEE 802.1X authenticate
wireless clients when the AAA server is not available
• Provides remote site survivability and backup authentication services during WANlink
or server failure
ClientAddressResolution
Protocol (ARP) Caching
• Allows Cisco Aironet access points to respond to Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
requests on behalf of IEEE 802.11 Cisco Aironet, Cisco Compatible Extensions and
most Wi-Fi Certified wireless client devices
• Enables IP address resolution without requiring the wireless client device to leave
power save or idle modes
• Extends client device battery life
RADIUS Server per SSID • Allows specification of RADIUS servers on a per SSID basis by leveraging access
point multiple SSID capabilities
• Beneficial for multi-tenant deployments, such as airports, where each tenant desires a
separate RADIUS server for user authentication
