The AP1030 features both integrated sector antennas and an RP-TNC connector for external

antennas and an expanded set of software features designed for a variety of specific applications.

●

Remote Edge Access Point (REAP) capabilities allow the AP1030 to be deployed remotely

from the wireless LAN controller making it ideal for branch office and small retail locations.

The AP1030 delivers the same LAN security, performance, and RF management

capabilities as the AP1010 and 1020 and can operate via most standard WAN

technologies, including T1, Frame Relay, ATM, DSL, ISDN, and switched 56k.

These capabilities enable IT managers to centrally control SSIDs, security parameters, and

software loads for unified, enterprise wide wireless LAN services.

●

Wireless backhaul capabilities are ideal for applications where an access point is deployed

in a location where access to Ethernet is either impossible or impractical. With the AP1030,

customers can configure either of the internal radios as a wireless uplink which associates

directly with a traditional (root) access point with a wired uplink. Wireless backhaul

capabilities are ideal for applications including factories, warehouses, aircraft and dirigible

hangers and relatively small outdoor deployments.

●

Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint bridging functionality is supported. With this

application, each Cisco 1030 Access Point’s Ethernet interface is plugged into a wired

network while either the 2.4 or 5GHz RF interface associates wirelessly and joins the

networks into a single managed domain*. With optional external antennas ranges of up to

one mile (1.6 kilometers), the AP1030 is often an inexpensive alternative to cables and T-1

lines for joining permanent and temporary campus facilities together.

Note:

The Cisco Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point with a single 2.4 GHz radio does

not support bridging functionality.

Applications

Designed for enterprise environments and deployments that require coverage flexibility, specific

models of Cisco Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points feature multiple antenna, range,

and installation options. A university campus, for example, may place wireless LANs in classrooms

using Cisco 1010 lightweight access points. For auditoriums and common areas, Cisco 1020

lightweight access points would be deployed with higher gain external antennas for extended

range or specialized coverage patterns

In larger enterprise wireless LAN deployments with many access points, IT staff can easily perform

software upgrades to Cisco Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points. Changes are

automatically pushed to all access points from Cisco wireless LAN controllers, providing smooth

and cost-effective upgrades and helping to ensure that new wireless standards can be supported

with no hands-on intervention of the access point. This capability also helps ensure interoperability

throughout the network—software automatically remains consistent across the entire Cisco

wireless LAN system.
