Integrated Wireless LAN Capability

Cisco 1800 Series fixed-configuration routers offer models with an integrated wireless access

point, providing secure router and secure wireless LAN services in one device, helping businesses

reduce total cost of ownership with simplified WLAN deployment and management capabilities.

The integrated wireless access point supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g simultaneously to provide high-

speed wireless capability and flexibility to support 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band simultaneous

operation, making them ideal choices for wireless hotspot deployments and wireless office

solutions. Cisco Aironet

, Wi-Fi Certified and Cisco Compatible client devices are fully supported.

The Cisco 1800 Series routers with integrated wireless access points are Wi-Fi Certified and

support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) providing secure mutual authentication and

encryption via Cisco IOS Software features to meet the strict demands of today's businesses.

These products also provide support for multiple wireless VLANs that can be configured to provide

additional security, segmentation, and separation of user groups. When using the routers in

conjunction with the Cisco Service Selection Gateway (SSG) and Subscriber Edge Services

Manager (SESM), managed service providers can incorporate service-based authorization and

accounting, and service and subscriber management for customizable, on-demand wireless

services such as hotspots. Additional features such as local authentication allow users to maintain

wireless connectivity to the router in the event that a remote authentication server goes down.

branch-office WLAN application.
