Overview
Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point provides a secure, affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN
solution that combines mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class features required by networking
professionals. With a management system based on Cisco IOS software, the 1100 series is a Wi-Fi
certified, wireless LAN transceiver. The 1100 series access point uses a single mini-PCI radio
(IEEE 802.11b-compliant or IEEE 802.11g-compliant) that can be upgraded to future radio
technologies.
The access point serves as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center
point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an
access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the
network.
You can configure and monitor the access point using the command-line interface (CLI), the
browser-based management system, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
