Cisco Cisco Aironet 1310 Access Point Bridge Getting Started Guide
At-A-Glance
Location
: Cisco location services are the industry’s first
to bring cost-effective, real-time visibility to the wireless
network for asset tracking, network management, security,
and context-based applications. Third party chokepoints can
be added for areas requiring very high fidelity, deterministic
location.

Step 5. Unified Wired and Wireless Security
Organizations are encouraged to implement the Cisco
Secure Wireless Solution in conjunction with their migration.
This solution integrates the security capabilities of the Cisco
Unified Wireless Network with relevant wired security solu-
tions, including the Cisco Self-Defending Network, Cisco
Network Admission Control (NAC), the Cisco ASA 5500
Series Firewall with Cisco Intrusion Protection System (IPS)
software, and the Cisco Security Agent.

for a variety of users and deployment scenarios, and delivers
a robust threat defense capability to protect information and
systems from wireless threats.

The Cisco Unified Wireless Network helps reduce overall oper-
ational expenses by simplifying network deployment, opera-
tions, and management. With this solution, you can manage
several, hundreds, or thousands of central or remotely located
access points from a centralized management console. The
flexibility of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network allows network
managers to design networks to meet their specific needs,
whether implementing highly integrated network designs or
simple overlay networks.
