Enterprise-Class Performance Cisco’s innovative radio and antenna design delivers industry-leading 802.11a enterprise performance. It provides for maximum capacity and scalability across the enterprise through eight non-overlapping channels in the UNII-1 and UNII-2 bands. The integrated 5 dBi gain patch antenna optimizes range. The –68 dBm receive sensitivity at 54 Mbps provides high-data-rate range performance. Advanced signal processing in the Cisco Aironet 5 GHz Wireless LAN Client Adapter helps manage the multipath propagation often found in office environments and intelligent filtering addresses ambient noise and interference that can decrease network performance. Various transmit power settings on the Cisco Aironet client adapter enable you to select range capabilities. Table 1. Product Features and Benefits Product Features Benefit Industry-Leading Security WPA Certified Cisco Wireless Security Suite includes IEEE 802.1X mutual authentication with Cisco LEAP, EAP-FAST, PEAP-GTC, PEAP-MSCHAP V2, EAP-TLS and EAP-SIM, Cisco TKIP, and WPA TKIP support. Multiple Transmit Power Settings (20 mW/(13 dBm), 10 mW/(10 dBm), and 5 mW (7 dBm) Provides flexibility to limit RF coverage. Multiple transmit power settings are especially useful when coupled with one of the broad antenna offerings to direct or limit RF coverage. Hardware-Accelerated WEP Encryption Minimum degradation when encryption is enabled, resulting in maximum throughput. Quiet Mode Forces the client adapter to become quiet (to passively scan or listen) when its associated access point is turned off. The client generates radio frequency energy only in direct response to an access point transmission. It applies to individual cards rather than profiles and can be set differently for different cards remaining in effect across Aironet Client Utility sessions and computer reboots. Table 2.
