Applications - Cisco AIR-AP1131G-A-K9 Datasheet

The hardware-accelerated AES encryption of Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points supports enterprise-class, government-grade secure
encryption over the WLAN without compromising performance. IEEE 802.1X authentication helps to ensure that only authorized users are
allowed on the network. Backward compatibility for WPA client devices running TKIP, the RC4 encryption algorithm, is also supported by
the Cisco Aironet 1130AG access point.
Driven by Cisco IOS Software, the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series is designed for enterprise networks. End-to-end Cisco IOS Software enables
intelligent network services, which provide connectivity, scalability, and high availability for advanced enterprise applications. A component of
the Cisco SWAN framework, the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series extends the security, scalability, reliability, ease of deployment, and manageability
available in wired networks to the WLAN.
The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series delivers optimal value for offices and similar environments. Built-in antennas provide omnidirectional coverage
specifically designed for today's open workspaces. A multipurpose mounting bracket easily secures Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points to
ceilings and walls. With an unobtrusive design, Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points are aesthetically pleasing and blend into their
environments. For maximum concealment, the access point may be placed above ceilings or suspended ceilings. The UL 2043 rating of the Cisco
Aironet 1130AG Series allows the access point to be placed above ceilings in plenum areas regulated by municipal fire codes. Centrally manageable
by the Cisco SWAN management device-the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE)-Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points can be
systematically and dynamically configured to maximize total network performance. Offered at a competitive price, and optimized for easy installation
and operation, the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series helps organizations attain a lower total cost of ownership.

APPLICATIONS

In offices and similarly open environments, Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points may be installed on the ceiling to provide users with
continuous coverage as they roam throughout a facility (Figure 1). In school buildings and similar facilities, the access points may be installed
on the ceiling of each room and hallway to provide users with full coverage and high network availability (Figure 2). In areas where a ceiling
installation may not be practical such as retail hotspots or similar small facilities, the access points can be mounted simply and securely on walls
for complete coverage with minimal installation cost (Figure 3).
