Introduction
Cisco Aironet Access Points are wireless LAN transceivers that can act as the connection point between
wireless and wired networks or as the center point of a standalone wireless network. In large
installations, the roaming functionality provided by multiple access points allows wireless users to move
freely throughout the facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network. The 1200 series
access point allows you to add a 5-GHz radio module for dual-radio operation, and the 2.4-GHz internal
radio is accessible and can be upgraded as new radios become available.

Note
If you plan to mount the access point in an area subject to environmental air space with the intention
of upgrading to a 5-GHz radio, Cisco recommends that you mount the access point horizontally so
that its antennas point down. Doing so results in the access point complying with regulatory
requirements for environmental air space after the 5-GHz radio is installed.
