Cisco Aironet

Access Point Module for Wireless

Security (WSM)

●

Flexible add-on third radio module for the Cisco

Aironet 3600 Series (3600i, 3600e) and 3700

Series (3700i, 3700e, 3700p) Access Points

●

Self-contained, concurrent 2.4-GHz and 5- GHz

radio

●

Sleek design with internal antennas

Next-Generation Security and Spectrum Analysis

●

Zero-touch configuration; installation, power-up,

and go

●

Always-on security scanning and spectrum

intelligence scanning for all channels in both the

2.4- and 5-GHz bands

●

Saves network costs by eliminating the need for:

◦ A traditional, dedicated monitor mode overlay set

of access points

◦ Ethernet infrastructure (cable and port) required

for a dedicated monitor mode overlay

◦ Power supply or injector as appropriate

●

WSM offloads concurrent support for:

◦ Cisco CleanAir

spectrum analysis

◦ wIPS security scanning

◦ Rogue detection

◦ Context-aware location

◦ Radio resource management (RRM)

●

Enables Wi-Fi client data serving, monitor- mode-

like functionality, and wIPS security scanning

concurrently with a 3600i/e or 3700i/e access point

CleanAir Spectrum Intelligence

●

Classify over 20 different types of interference,

including non-Wi-Fi interference within 5 to 30

seconds

●

Automatic remedial action and less manual

intervention

●

Cisco Spectrum Expert Connect provides real-time,

raw spectrum data to help with difficult-to-diagnose

interference problems

●

The Air Quality Index in Cisco CleanAir technology

provides a snapshot of network performance and

the impact of interference

Robust Security and Policy Enforcement

●

Industry’s first access point with non-Wi-Fi

detection for off-channel rogues while serving

data clients

●

Supports rogue access point detection and

detection of denial-of-service attacks

●

Management frame protection detects malicious

users and alerts network administrators

●

Set policies to prohibit devices that interfere with

the Wi-Fi network or jeopardize network security

Cisco Aironet Access Point Module for Wireless

Security

The Cisco

Wireless Security module (WSM),

taking advantage of the flexible modular design

introduced with the Cisco Aironet

3600 Series

Access Points and carried forward with the Cisco

Aironet

3700 Series Access Points, delivers

unprecedented, always-on security scanning and

spectrum intelligence, which helps you avoid RF

interference so that you get better coverage and

performance on your wireless network.

●

24/7 full spectrum monitor and mitigation for adaptive

wireless intrusion prevention system (AwIPS), CleanAir,

Context Awareness, Rogue Detection and Radio Resource

Management

●

24/7 on-channel AwIPS threat protection

●

23x more security and spectrum coverage

●

30%+ CAPEX cost savings versus dedicated monitor mode

access point

●

Zero touch configuration

The WSM is a field-upgradeable module dedicated radio that off

loads all monitoring and security services from the client/data

serving radios to the security monitor module. This not only allows

for better client performance but also reduces costs by eliminating

the need for dedicated monitor mode access points and the

Ethernet infrastructure required to connect those devices into their

network.

Together, the 3600 and 3700 Series access points and WSM enable the customer to concurrently provide state-ofthe-art security and spectrum analysis functions for Wi-Fi clients on all channels, in both the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands. Once deployed, the module is constantly scanning all channels to help ensure the most secure and robust wireless experience available in the industry.

● Zero-touch configuration, installation, power-up, and go. Absolutely no configuration is required to get the WSM up and running and immediately monitoring and securing your wireless network. The WSM is inserted and secured into any Aironet 3600 or 3700 Series access point. When the access point is powered back up, the module is initialized, along with the other radios in the access point, and immediately begins monitoring all channels on both 2.4 and 5 GHz for any potential sources of interference.
