The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series is part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network. The Cisco Unified

Wireless Network is a comprehensive solution that unifies the wired and wireless network to

deliver a common set of services and applications, providing users a single experience for any

mode of network connectivity, and offering IT simplified operational management. The Cisco

Aironet 1250 Series integrates seamlessly with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network. It extends the

same industry-leading RF and network management capabilities as currently available across the

breadth of Cisco wireless solutions.

The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series has two deployment options: controller-based (unified) or

standalone (autonomous). Access points using the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP)

work in conjunction with Cisco wireless LAN controllers and optionally with the Cisco Wireless

Control System (WCS). When configured with LWAPP, the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series simplifies

operations by automatically detecting the best-available Cisco Wireless LAN Controller and

downloading appropriate policies and configuration information with no manual intervention. When

deployed as a standalone access point, the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series delivers a baseline set of

features and can later be software-upgraded to take advantage of the full benefits of the Cisco

Unified Wireless Network.

Investment Protection

The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series is a modular platform that is compliant with the 802.11n draft 2.0

standard and is the first Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 802.11n draft 2.0 access point. Furthermore, the

platform has been tested extensively to ensure simple, secure interoperability with IEEE 802.11n

draft 2.0 standard devices. The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series provides additional investment

protection with its modular, field-upgradeable design and easy-to-install radio modules. Cisco is

committed to standards, and the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series provides a path for compliance to the

final IEEE 802.11n standard, once ratified. Businesses with an immediate need to enhance the

performance of their WLANs can deploy the IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 standard radio modules now

with the confidence that their investments are protected. These modules can be easily field-

upgraded should this be required by a shift in standards evolution.

Award-Winning Security

The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series supports industry-standard wireless security protocols, including

802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X, along with numerous Extensible

Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. The access point delivers hardware-accelerated Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES) encryption designed to meet the most stringent enterprise and

government encryption requirements without compromising performance. As part of the Cisco

Secure Wireless Solution, Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Points operating with LWAPP enable

comprehensive wired and wireless intrusion prevention and detection. Each access point can scan

the RF environment and report on suspicious or unauthorized wireless activity, effectively allowing

businesses to create a comprehensive threat defense across 802.11a/b/g and now 802.11n.

Additionally, the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point supports management frame protection

for the encryption of 802.11 management frames by the wireless network infrastructure. This

allows the network to completely remove the threat from man-in-the-middle and spoofing attacks. If

an access point detects a malicious attack, an alarm will be generated and reported to the network

administrator.
