The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series delivers optimal value for offices and similar environments.
Built-in antennas provide omnidirectional coverage specifically designed for today’s open
workspaces. A multipurpose mounting bracket easily secures Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series
access points to ceilings and walls. With an unobtrusive design, Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series
access points are aesthetically pleasing and blend into their environments. For maximum
concealment, the access point may be placed above ceilings or suspended ceilings. The UL 2043
rating of the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series allows the access point to be placed above ceilings in
plenum areas regulated by municipal fire codes. Offered at a competitive price, and optimized for
easy installation and operation, the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series helps organizations attain a
lower total cost of ownership.
Applications
In offices and similarly open environments, Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points may be
installed on the ceiling to provide users with continuous coverage as they roam throughout a
facility. In school buildings and similar facilities, the access points may be installed on the ceiling of
each room and hallway to provide users with full coverage and high network availability. In areas
where a ceiling installation may not be practical such as retail hotspots or similar small facilities,
the access points can be mounted simply and securely on walls for complete coverage with
minimal installation cost.
Award-Winning Security
The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series has achieved National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) FIPS 140-2 level 2 validation and is in process for Information Assurance validation under
the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria program. The Cisco
Aironet 1130AG Series supports 802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and numerous
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. WPA and WPA2 are the Wi-Fi Alliance
certifications for interoperable, standards-based WLAN security. These certifications support IEEE
802.1X for user-based authentication, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for WPA encryption,
and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for WPA2 encryption. These certifications help to
ensure interoperability between Wi-Fi-certified WLAN devices from different manufacturers.
The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series hardware-accelerated AES encryption supports enterprise-
class, government-grade secure encryption over the WLAN without compromising performance.
IEEE 802.1X authentication helps to ensure that only authorized users are allowed on the network.
Backward compatibility and support for WPA client devices running TKIP, the RC4 encryption
algorithm, is also supported by the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series.
Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Points operating with LWAPP support Cisco Unified
Intrusion Detection System/Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS), a software feature that is part
of the Cisco Self-Defending Network and is the industry’s first integrated wired and wireless
security solution. Cisco Unified IDS/IPS takes a comprehensive approach to security—at the
wireless edge, wired edge, WAN edge, and through the data center. When an associated client
sends malicious traffic through the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, a Cisco wired IDS device
detects the attack and sends shun requests to Cisco wireless LAN controllers, which will then
disassociate the client device.
Autonomous or unified Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Points support management frame
protection for the authentication of 802.11 management frames by the wireless network
infrastructure. This allows the network to detect spoofed frames from access points or malicious
