Cisco ClientLink is an intelligent beamforming technology
that directs the RF signal to 802.11a/g devices to improve
performance and coverage by up to 40 percent.

Cisco ClientLink helps extend the useful life of existing
802.11a/g devices in mixed-client networks. It is beneficial
for organizations that move to 802.11n and want to ensure
that all clients on the network, regardless of type, are
guaranteed the bandwidth and throughput they need.

Localized RF
Neighborhoods
Neighborhoods
The Localized RF Neighborhood feature provides faster
convergence for networkwide radio resource management
calculations and the ability to make locally optimized
channel and power settings. It allows radio resource
management to evaluate channel and power settings for
localized access point neighborhoods as opposed to single
access points. Localized RF neighborhoods are optimized
taking into account how sparsely or densely access points
are spaced.

Large wireless networks gain performance improvements
from faster network channel and power plan convergence
times. Power settings are optimized for access point
neighborhoods with a variety of access point deployment
densities.

Series Radio
Configuration for
Power
Organizations may purchase a dual-radio Cisco Aironet
1250 Series Access Point and use software to disable one
of the radios. This allows full functionality under 802.3af on
one radio while the other radio is disabled. In the future if a
customer upgrades to a powering solution that provides
20W of power to the access point, the second radio may be
configured so that both radios are fully functional with 2x3
multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology.

The ability to use software to configure radios on the Cisco
Aironet 1250 Series offers flexibility and investment
protection. The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series requires 20W of
power for optimum performance of 802.11n on both the 2.4-
and 5-GHz bands. This feature allows organizations to
purchase dual-band access points now, and offers the
flexibility to configure one radio to operate using 802.3af.
In the future, the radios may be reconfigured for dual-band
support once the powering capabilities of the infrastructure
can support 20W of power.

GHz radio for client access. Each backhaul radio serves as
a dedicated link to the mesh access point parent or children.
Adding an additional backhaul radio significantly improves
the performance of mesh access points located furthest
from the root access point. With two backhaul radios, each
dedicated to transmitting data either upstream or
downstream, mesh access points achieve greater
throughput and lower latency for traffic traveling to and from
these outer hop access points.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers: New Features
This release introduces the Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller, a highly scalable and flexible platform that
enables systemwide services for mission-critical wireless in medium-sized to large enterprises and campus
environments. Table 2 describes the new Cisco Wireless LAN Controller features available with this release.
These features are supported by Cisco 2100, 4400 and 5500 Series Wireless LAN Controllers; Cisco Catalyst
6500 Series WiSM and 7600 Series Router; Cisco WLCM and WLCM-E for integrated services routers; and the
Cisco Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN Controllers. Cisco WirelessPLUS software is available only on the
Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controllers. See the Cisco 5500 Series Licensing and Ordering Guide for
additional details.
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller software is downloadable from the Cisco Software Center. Display tables for each
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller model are located at:
