The Best Cisco Indoor Access Points
■ Cisco Aironet Indoor Access Points
All models of the Cisco Aironet Indoor Access Points are compatible with the IEEE 802.11n standard; and some models are also compatible with IEEE 802.11ac delivering high-speed and stable wireless LAN environments with a theoretical maximum throughput of between 300 Mbps and 2.6 Gbps. A broad selection of models is available for various installation environments and network requirements.
- Built-in antenna model: These models feature a streamlined body and an integrated LAN/power cable using PoE (Power over Ethernet) for a stylish installation that blends into the office environment.
- External antenna model: These models feature a rigid metal chassis and support a wide range of operating temperatures for use in factories, warehouses and stores where environmental requirements are very strict. A wide selection of antennas is available for these models to suit different installation environments.
There are two types of models for Cisco Aironet Indoor Access Points: Standalone or Mobility Express models, and Controller-based models. The Controller-based models are designed to operate in linkage with the Cisco Wireless Controllers.
