Overview:
Powerful 802.11n Dual-Radio Performance
The Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point provides secure enterprise wireless coverage to the home. This dual-band, 802.11n access point extends the corporate network to the home teleworker and mobile contractors. The access point connects to the home's broadband Internet access and establishes a secure tunnel to the corporate network so that remote employees can access data, voice, video, and cloud services for a mobility experience consistent with that at the corporate office. The dual-band, simultaneous support for 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio frequencies assures that corporate devices are not impacted by congestion caused by common household devices that use the 2.4 GHz band. The Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point is purposely designed for the teleworker by supporting both secure corporate data access and maintaining connectivity for personal home devices with segmented home-traffic support.
How It Works
The same services that are available on the wireless network at the corporate office are securely accessed through the Cisco Aironet 600 Series from a remote location. Data, voice, and video as well as applications such as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace® conferencing, Cisco WebEx® technology, and dual-mode phones are all supported by the Cisco Aironet 600 Series.
For the initial setup at a home office, the remote worker plugs the access point into their home router connected to or integrated with their broadband modem. The Cisco Aironet 600 Series access point is provisioned in advance and will automatically set up a secure tunnel to the corporate headquarters with a Cisco Wireless Controller. A preregistered corporate IP phone can also automatically connect with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager to access the corporate phone number, voicemail, and user settings.
How the Remote Workforce Benefits
The Cisco Aironet 600 Series improves workforce productivity, business resiliency, and work schedule flexibility while reducing travel costs and carbon emissions. It is targeted toward commercial, enterprise, and service provider networks across all industries. The Cisco Aironet 600 Series is appropriate for employees who need reliable and consistent access to networked business services at home or at work, as well as telecommuters who require the same wireless connectivity as at the corporate site. Voice costs are reduced since users can use Wi-Fi instead of cellular coverage for voice calls.
Scalability
The Cisco Aironet 1600 Series is a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, which can scale to up to 18,000 access points with full Layer 3 mobility across central or remote locations on the enterprise campus, in branch offices, and at remote sites. The Cisco Unified Wireless Network is the industry's most flexible, resilient, and scalable architecture delivering secure access to mobility services and applications, and offering the lowest total cost of ownership and investment protection by integrating seamlessly with the existing wired network.
