CleanAir technology: Only Cisco offers a comprehensive solution to detect, classify, locate, and mitigate
sources of interference, including non-Wi-Fi sources such as Bluetooth, microwave ovens, cordless phones,
and more. With the ability to visualize performance-impacting interference directly from the Cisco Wireless
Control System (WCS), you can proactively manage the challenges of a shared wireless spectrum and
optimize network performance.
Power Options
The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point can be powered by a Cisco Ethernet switch, a power injector, or a local
power supply. The number of radio modules determines which Cisco Ethernet switch can power the Aironet 1250
Series Access Point.
Powering the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with 802.3af Power over Ethernet
The Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with one RM1252 radio module installed requires 12.95W, which is within the
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Any Cisco switch supporting 802.3af may be used to power the Aironet
1250 Series Access Point with one RM1252 radio module installed. This is ideal for businesses that chose to only
deploy on a single frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). A single radio provides optimum performance with approximately
300 Mbps maximum PHY data rate. Customers who deploy dual-band, 802.11n radios and power the 1250 Series
using standard 802.3af will have more reliable and predictable coverage than that provided by traditional 802.11a/g
networks; however, operation will be limited to a single transmitter per radio with maximum PHY data rates of 150
Mbps instead of 300 Mbps per radio. Customers with a significant investment in 802.11 a/b/g client devices that have
low-to-medium bandwidth needs but high-reliability requirements will benefit the most from this type of deployment
scenario.
Powering the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with Cisco Enhanced PoE
Cisco Enhanced PoE was designed for customers who want to install new PoE-enabled technologies that require
greater than 15.4W per port to function at full capability, such as wireless technology based on the IEEE 802.11n
standard. Cisco Enhanced PoE provides the full power requirements for dual-radio modules and eliminates the need
to run an additional cabling drop or insert a separate power injector. Support for Enhanced PoE is currently available
on a variety of Cisco Catalyst
®
switching platforms. For more information on Enhanced PoE, visit
