802.11n technology will occupy the territory of wired Ethernet (1)

Cisco recently released 802.11 of its support products. The network giant said it would help enterprises easily deploy the next-generation wireless LAN and use 802.11n to bring a wider range and higher throughput to wi-fi.

According to Ben Gibson, head of Cisco mobile solutions, the market is accelerating the adoption of Wi-Fi technology and is seeking to move forward to the latest wireless LAN standard, 802.11n, the following products and services were created: a modular 802.11n access point, Aironet 1250 Series (Aironet 1250 Series ), A 48 Gbit/s scalable Catalyst 6500-based WLAN controller system and wired and Wireless services that support the Unified Wireless Network Release 4.2.

Cisco also announced that it could deliver fully support for dual-mode Aironet 1250 Series capabilities from a single Ethernet port with the help of its Catalyst switching family.

"The market and the number and diversity of wireless devices are growing," says Gibson, noting that more companies are deploying wireless phones, printers, desktop computers, and other industry-specific devices, such as medical devices, such as devices that support Wi-Fi, are driving a rapid growth.

Although many devices are emerging in large quantities, many networks are not ready to support them. He said that when the company's current WLAN deployment was too fast, 802.11 answered the scope and performance problems that many companies are currently struggling to solve.

The Aironet 1250 Series access point is the first authenticated access point for draft 802.11n 2.0. 802.11n, which is still in the waiting state, is said to improve the range and throughput of wireless networks through its multiple-in and multiple-out (MIMO) technologies.

Along with the new 802.11n access point, Cisco also announced other next-generation wireless products that support 802.11n today, including:

◆ WLAN controller performance and integrated network communication service are designed to support step-by-step or large-scale 802.11n deployment. The Cisco Wireless Service Module (WiSM) for Catalyst 6500 enables customers to add the desired controller performance for flexible and custom deployments. Wireless users can also leverage integrated wired and wireless security, high availability, and smart applications.

◆ Cisco Unified Wireless Network 4.2 (Cisco Unified Wireless Network 4.2), which enhances mobile services so that it can contain Wireless grids, access point monitoring and migration tools, and unified wired and wireless guest access. This service also integrates wireless enhancement, persistent remote access points, and integrated Spectrum Analysis for voice.

◆ Improved Client performance, including Cisco Security Service Client 5.0 (Cisco Secure Services Client 5.0), which focuses on the enterprise-level supply of a simplified single Client security and management framework. Version 5.0 uses an improved interface to improve "2 Click Connect" performance.

According to Gibson, Cisco's latest 802.11n version is backward compatible with older 802.11a/B/g technologies and does not need to be re-designed with the network infrastructure.
