Product Overview
As your employees become more mobile and collaborative, they need dependable, business-class access to network applications throughout the office. Extend secure, high-performance mobile networking to them and guests simply and cost-effectively with the Cisco® WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point. This flexible solution lets you connect dozens of employees, and can scale to accommodate additional users and changing business needs.
The Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point uses concurrent dual-band radios for improved coverage and user capacity. The 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch allows more devices to be connected to the access point (AP) and allows the AP to be powered by the backbone switch, also helping reduce cabling and wiring costs. Intelligent quality-of-service (QoS) features let you prioritize bandwidth-sensitive traffic for voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video applications.
To provide secure guest access to visitors and other users, the Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point supports a captive portal with multiple authentication options and the ability to configure rights, roles, and bandwidth. A customized guest login page lets you present a welcome message and access details, and reinforces your brand with company logos.
Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Points are easy to set up and use, with intuitive wizard-based configuration to get you up and running in minutes. An attractive design with flexible mounting options enables the access points to smoothly blend into any small business environment.
To enhance reliability and safeguard sensitive business information, the Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point supports both Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Personal and Enterprise, encoding all your wireless transmissions with powerful encryption. In addition, 802.1 X RADIUS authentications help keep unauthorised users out.
Designed to scale smoothly as your organization grows, the access points feature controllerless Single Point Setup that simplifies the deployment of multiple access points without additional hardware. With the Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point, you can extend business-class wireless networking to employees and guests anywhere in the office, with the flexibility to meet new business needs for years to come.
