There are many things worth learning about wireless access technology. Here we mainly introduce the solutions for wireless access technology. Low-cost wireless technology provides users with the freedom to configure configurations, especially in the changing and unpredictable application environments. In many medium-sized market companies, the number and location of employees, changes in facilities, and technical needs are unpredictable. In this case, wireless access technology not only provides flexibility, it also provides near-real-time scalability.
Establish a secure bridging LAN
WLAN can use standard-based 128-bit equivalent to wired privacy WEP) to protect data from traversing wireless links. To enhance protection, you can use a nist fips 140-1 certified router, such as Cisco 2621. These routers can be used with wireless bridges to provide data protection through the IPSec encrypted channel.
End-to-end LAN solutions that integrate wired and wireless access technologies
For effective operations and management, network administrators must use the IT infrastructure as an end-to-end network instead of independent wired and wireless entities. Any wireless technology should include both hardware and software features to support compatibility with backbone networks, simplify operations and management through integrated network management, and include data and user privacy with security features. The visibility and manageability of end-to-end infrastructure helps build a network with fast response, scalability, and ease of maintenance.
End-to-end solution
Providing enterprise-level broadband services is an important step and is easy for Cisco. Cisco is able to provide end-to-end solutions for each point on the network, from cabling rooms to backbone networks to network cores. Cisco Wireless products even allow expansion of the network, Cisco Building Broadband Service manag80csm) can greatly simplify supply and customization. Cisco has a medium market organization that quickly and cheaply provides everything the company needs to provide broadband services.
Cisco Wireless Solution
The Cisco Wireless System is seamlessly integrated with the wired backbone network to provide end-to-end management and performance visibility. The Cisco wireless solution complies with IEEE 802.11b and Wi-Fi and can interwork with standard-based wireless networking products and all major wired network components. In use, these products can be used as extensions of wired networks, or independent wireless access technology networks can be established.
Cisco Aironet 350 Series
The Cisco Aironet 350 WLAN product series provides industry-leading performance, security, and reliability at reasonable prices. This product is the first WLAN solution that provides strong scalability, centralized security protection, a wide range of and reasonable prices. It is also the only product. Cisco Aironet 350:
& #8226; achieves a data rate of up to 11 Mbps.
& #8226; using Ethernet to support in-line power supply can simplify and reduce total installation and ownership costs.
& #8226; provides a high-performance MW wireless design with power management features.
& #8226; adopts an investment protection architecture that supports other software features.
The Cisco Aironet 350 series includes products tailored for applications within and between buildings. In-building products include access points and wireless client adapters, such as peripheral components interconnect with PCI) adapters and PC cards. After the PC Card is installed, the handheld computer, notebook PC, or PDA can still be connected to the network while moving freely in the building. With the PCI adapter, the hybrid PC can be quickly, conveniently, and cheaply added to the LAN without additional wiring.
The Cisco Aironet 350 series access points are WLAN transmission receivers and can be used as hubs for independent wireless networks or as bridges between wireless access technology and wired networks. In a large environment, with the new roaming feature provided by multiple access points, wireless access technology allows users to seamlessly access networks when they move freely within the building or within the building's campus network. Up to 128-bit privacy equivalent to wired WEP) encryption provides data security comparable to traditional wired LAN. The Aironet 350 series also utilizes the IEEE 802.1x scalable authentication protocol (EAP) to provide scalable central security management, it also supports dynamic single-conversation and single-user encryption keys integrated with network login.
Cisco Aironet 350 Series Wireless Bridge bridges are capable of connecting within-sight buildings 25 miles away. The Wireless Bridge is suitable for connecting multiple buildings. Even if there are obstacles, the sites can be easily connected together. The Wireless Bridge does not require a license, there is no laying problem, and there is no repeated rental line fee. In addition, the Wireless Bridge is much cheaper than the T1 line or optical fiber cable. The bridge is easy to install and configure, and can be implemented in at most one day. Cisco Aironet 350 Series Products Use the GHz band and can operate reliably even in bad weather. Configuration and management can be performed directly on the console, through Telnet, file transfer protocol FTP), Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP), or remote configuration on the browser graphic user interface.
