Comprehensive End-to-End
Security
Security
●
Offers Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) compliant DTLS encryption to ensure
full-line-rate encryption between access points and controllers across remote WAN/LAN links.
Enterprise Wireless Mesh
●
Allows access points to dynamically establish wireless connections without the need for a physical connection to
the wired network.
●
Available on select Cisco Aironet access points, Enterprise Wireless Mesh is ideal for warehouses,
manufacturing floors, shopping centers and any other location where extending a wired connection may prove
difficult or aesthetically unappealing.
