Supports peer-to-peer networking and communication to wired networks via Access Points
Cisco Aironet 350 client adapters couple the mobility, freedom, and flexibility of wireless local-area networking with the bandwidth required by enterprise-wide information systems. With wireless-enabled client PCs, users with notebook, notebook and hand-held devices can move freely within a campus environment while maintaining uninterrupted access to centrally located data.
Based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the 2.4GHz band, the Aironet 350 provides an Ethernet-like data rate of up to 11 megabits per second (Mbps). The high speed and throughput enables the wireless transfer of bandwidth-intensive data such as multimedia streams and large data files within the enterprise.
All Cisco Airnet 350 wireless PC Cards include the Cisco Aironet Client Utility (ACU), a tool with an intuitive graphical user interface that makes it easy to configure, monitor, and manage each card. The ACU includes site-survey tools that produce easy-to-understand, detailed graphical information, including signal strength, to assist in the correct placement of APs. The ACU now provides improved, quantifiable data, including signal-to-noise ratio measured in decibels and signal level and noise level measured in decibels per milliwatt. Using the ACU, a user can create a profile of settings for each environment, such as the office or home, making it simple for telecommuters and business travelers to reconfigure the adapter when moving from one environment to another. A user can now configure channel selection, service set identifier (SSID), WEP key, and authentication method for these different locations.
The Aironet 350 adapters feature antennas that provide the range and reliability required for data transmission and reception in larger indoor facilities. The fixed, integrated antenna is rugged enough to withstand the rigors of mobile computing and compact enough to stay out of the way, extending only an inch outside the PC Card slot.
128-bit wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption security is included to provide data security that is comparable to traditional wired LANs. Cisco includes a complete set of device drivers to make installation trouble-free in a full range of systems. Easy-to-use site survey tools produce graphical information, including signal strength. To further facilitate installation, Cisco provides a suite of integrated utilities for Windows-based configuration, management and diagnostics.
Cisco simplifies deployment for international travelers and multinational corporations with a new client adapter setting called world mode. When placed in this mode, client adapters automatically inherit channel configuration properties directly from the Cisco Aironet AP to which they associate. This feature enables a user to use a client adapter around the world while still maintaining regulatory compliance.
For investment protection, the Aironet 350 conforms to the IEEE 802.11b standard, ensuring interoperability with equipment available from a variety of vendors. It is fully compatible with most popular network operating systems and delivers both Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Web-based management features. The Aironet 350 can be seamlessly integrated into wired Ethernet networks, as a complement or alternative to the wired LAN products offered by Cisco Systems.
