Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point
The Cisco
®
Aironet
®
1250 Series is a rugged indoor access point
designed for challenging RF environments that require the antenna
versatility associated with connectorized antennas, a rugged metal
enclosure, and a broad operating temperature range. The first
enterprise-class access point to support the IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0
standard, it offers combined data rates of up to 600 Mbps to
provide users with mobile access to high-bandwidth data, voice,
and video applications. 802.11n provides reliable and predictable
WLAN coverage to improve the end-user experience for both
existing 802.11a/b/g clients and new 802.11n clients.
As part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the 1250 Series provides
the industry’s lowest total cost of ownership and investment protection by
integrating seamlessly with the existing network. With a Gigabit Ethernet
(10/100/1000) interface, the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series offers the flexibility
of inline as well as local power options.
RF Excellence
The Cisco Unified Wireless Network with M-Drive technology removes the mystery associated with design,
implementation, and ongoing optimization of enterprise wireless networks. With Cisco M-Drive technology, IT has
the tools needed to build and operate a high-performance wireless network without the need for extensive RF
engineering skills. Cisco M-Drive technology is a systemwide approach that manages the corporate RF spectrum,
improves wireless coverage, and increases system capacity and performance. Features include:
Radio resource management (RRM): Automated self-healing optimizes RF to reduce unpredictability and
dead spots and to help ensure high-availability client connections. RRM optimizes network capacity and
mitigates interference by continuously monitoring and adjusting access point power and channel settings and
then load balancing clients to enhance wireless coverage.
