Cisco Cisco 3365 Mobility Services Engine

This section introduces the Cisco 3300 series mobility services engine (MSE) and the various services 
that it supports.

The Cisco 3300 series mobility services engine supports various services within the overall Cisco 
Unified Wireless Network (CUWN).

The Cisco 3300 series mobility services engine currently supports the following services in Release 
7.3.101.0: 

Context Aware Service (CAS)—Allows a mobility services engine to simultaneously track 
thousands of mobile assets and clients by retrieving contextual information such as presence, 
location, telemetry data, and historical information.

CAS relies on two engines for processing the contextual information it receives. The Context Aware 
Engine for clients and tags (“KC” licenses) processes data for Wi-Fi clients and tags using the RSSI 
information. The Context Aware Engine for tags (“KT” licenses) processes data for Wi-Fi tags using 
RSSI and TDoA information. Both these engines can be deployed together or separately depending 
on the business needs.

For ordering information, see the 

Wireless Intrusion Protection Service—Provides wireless-specific network threat detection and 
mitigation against malicious attacks, security vulnerabilities, and sources of performance disruption 
within the CUWN infrastructure. wIPS visualizes, analyzes, and identifies wireless threats, and 
centrally manages mitigation and resolution of security and performance issues using Cisco monitor 
mode and Enhanced Local Mode (ELM) Access Points. Proactive threat prevention is also supported 
to create a hardened wireless network core that is impenetrable by most wireless attacks.

Evaluation licenses for 100 clients, 100 tags, and 10 wIPS monitor mode access points come standard 
on each mobility services engine installed with Release 6.0 and later for 60 days.

CAS and wIPS can operate simultaneously on the Cisco MSE 3310, 3355, and Virtual Appliance.
