Wireless and Mobility Services
Wireless LAN
The Cisco Integrated Services Routers supporting the Cisco Unified Wireless Network enable deployment of secure,
manageable WLANs optimized for remote sites and branch offices, including fast secure mobility, survivable
authentication, and simplified management. The Cisco Unified Wireless Network addresses critical points of
potential failure and helps enable resiliency and survivability for WLANs at remote locations and branch offices. This
solution protects the WLAN by providing fast recovery from a variety of faults that may occur. With Cisco's high
availability for remote WLANs, hardware and software work together to enable rapid recovery from disruptions and
help ensure fault transparency to users and network applications
The new Cisco 1941W with IEEE 802.11n integrated access point support both unified and autonomous
deployments. This integrated Wi-Fi access point offers IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 standard support for mobile access to
high-bandwidth data, voice, and video applications through the use of multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO)
technology that provides increased throughput, reliability, and predictability. IEEE 802.11n wireless networks create
a cohesive working environment by combining the mobility of wireless with the performance of wired networks. Cisco
has innovative, next-generation wireless solutions that offer greater performance and extended reach for pervasive
wireless connectivity. IEEE 802.11n technology delivers outstanding reliability and up to nine times the throughput of
current IEEE 802.11 a/b/g networks. It makes wireless networks an integral part of every type of organization by
offering the following benefits:
●
Data rates of up to 600 Mbps support more users, devices, and mission-critical, bandwidth-intensive
applications.
●
New MIMO technology provides predictable WLAN coverage and reliable connectivity.
●
Next-generation wireless technology provides superior investment protection to support emerging mobile
applications.
These routers help extend corporate networks to secure remote sites while giving users access to the same
applications found in corporate offices for both data and voice applications. When users require WLAN access,
visibility and control of network security are even more critical at the remote site. The new fixed Cisco Integrated
Services Routers meet this need with a single device that combines integrated IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n capabilities with
security features such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), including authentication with IEEE 802.1X with the Cisco
Light Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) and Protected EAP (PEAP) and encryption with the WPA Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
Wireless WAN
Cisco third-generation (3G) wireless WAN (WWAN) modules combine traditional enterprise router functions, such as
remote management, advanced IP services such as voice over IP (VoIP), and security, with mobility capabilities of
3G WAN access. Using high-speed 3G wireless networks, routers can replace or complement existing landline
infrastructure, such as dialup, Frame Relay, and ISDN. Cisco 3G solutions support 3G standards High-Speed Packet
Access (HSPA) and Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO) providing you with a true multipath WAN
backup and the ability to rapidly deploy primary WAN connectivity. For more information about 3G solutions on Cisco
Integrated Services Routers, please refer to

Integrated LAN Switching
The Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Router Series will support the EHWIC LAN modules when they become
available in future. The Cisco 1941 Series support the existing single wide EtherSwitch HWIC and the double wide
HWIC-D modules, which greatly expand the router’s capabilities by integrating industry leading Layer 2 or Layer 3
switching.
