Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Model Overview

The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point is a single band lightweight or autonomous access point with dual diversity antenna connectors for challenging RF environments. It offers the same versatility, high capacity, security, and enterprise-class features demanded by industrial wireless LAN customers in a single-band 802.11g solution. The Aironet 1200 Series modular device provides the flexibility to field upgrade to a dual-band 802.11a/g network by adding a CardBus-based 802.11a upgrade module that can be easily installed into Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access points originally configured for 802.11g. The device is available in either a lightweight version, or as an autonomous version that may be field-upgraded to lightweight operation.

Cisco AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 Access Point Overview

Cisco Aironet 1232AG 802.11a/b/g Wireless Access Point delivers the versatility, high capacity, security, and enterprise-class features demanded by WLAN customers. It is designed specifically for challenging RF environments like factories, warehouses, and large retail establishments that require the antenna versatility associated with connectorized antennas, a rugged metal enclosure, and a broad operating temperature range. It extends the security, scalability, reliability, ease of deployment, and manageability available in wired networks to the wireless infrastructure.

Running Cisco IOS Software, makes the Access Point supports link role flexibility which provides both access point and bridge functionality through configuration of each radio as an access point, repeater, root bridge, non-root bridge, or workgroup bridge. This configuration flexibility enables the Access Point to address applications ranging from basic wireless LAN coverage to wireless LAN coverage with wireless backhaul to more traditional bridging applications. The access point without wired connection will use the 5-GHz radio to wirelessly connect to the other access point for backhaul to the network.
