Cisco Aeronet 1140 Wireless N Access Point

If you are new here, you may want to subscribe to our feed.

Cisco stands ready as more and more corporations seriously consider wireless access points into their network infrastructure.  As the horribly insecure WEP security protocol hurries toward the way of the dodo bird, other better security protocols fill the gap.  Security, reliability, implementation, and cost are making companies reconsider the wireless option.

The Aironet 1140 is a dual band access point that also support PoE or power over ethernet.  That means that deployment can be done over power lines.  And a wireless 802.11N protocol means that throughput will meet most business applications.  Features please:
