Deployment
The Cisco WLAN Solution wireless network provides features and tools that simplify wireless network
deployment, allowing IT departments to deploy wireless networks with existing resources, and system
integrators to design and deploy wireless networks with greater predictability.
The Radio Resource Management (RRM), which is part of the Cisco WLAN Solution detects coverage
holes and interference and automatically determines transmit power level and transmit channels for each
Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point, which allows the Cisco WLAN Solution to be deployed
without a site survey when the building RF characteristics are well known.
The Cisco WLAN Solution features that simplify the deployment process include:
Internal dual-band antennas that provide the performance of external antennas without requiring
•
external antennas and RF cables.
Standards-based 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) that allows the Cisco 1000 series lightweight
•
access points to be powered over unused pairs in the Ethernet cable.
•
The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, which is optimized for the Cisco WLAN Solution
infrastructure.
•
External power supply option allows the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points to be easily
moved during the site survey to verify RF building characteristics.
•
The Dynamic Transmit Power algorithm automatically lowers Cisco 1000 series lightweight access
point transmit power to minimize overlap between adjacent 802.11a or 802.11b/g Cisco Radio
coverage areas, and automatically increases power to fill coverage holes if a nearby Cisco 1000
series lightweight access point fails.
Real-time coverage hole detection and client performance monitoring provides the IT manager with
•
real-time visibility into coverage holes based on client traffic.
Automatic interference detection detects interference from microwave ovens, bluetooth devices, and
•
other access points, and automatically changes the assigned Cisco 1000 series lightweight access
point channel to avoid the interference.
