●
The industry’s first access point that provides the ability to simultaneously serve clients and perform wIPS
security scanning and spectrum analysis with Cisco CleanAir technology.
●
Dedicated 2.4- and 5-GHz radio with its own antennas, enabling around-the-clock scanning of all wireless
channels in the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
●
A single Ethernet infrastructure provides simplified operation with fewer devices to manage and optimized
return on investment of the wireless infrastructure and the Ethernet wired infrastructure.
Table 1. Specifications for Various Type of wIPS Options Available
●
Cisco CleanAir technology: Proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence to combat performance problems
due to wireless interference. The industry’s first state-of-the-art radio frequency analysis technology that
inspects and classifies the energy patterns (signatures) of devices that can significantly impact the quality of
a wireless network.
●
Radio resource management (RRM): Simplified, advanced RF management that automatically adapts to
the wireless network environment based on the information received from Cisco’s CleanAir technology.
Once interferers are identified, RRM is able to move client devices to channels away from the interference
and also adjust the transit power away from the source of interference.
●
Rogue detection: Detects and reports back-door network access and access to wireless clients.
●
Location and context awareness: Provides real-time awareness and the ability to track wireless
endpoints.
With these features, the Cisco WSM, along with the Cisco Aironet 3600 and 3700 Series Access Points provides
the most secure and robust enterprise-class wireless network possible for your corporate users and corporate data.
