The Cisco® Aironet® 1250 Series is an enterprise-class 802.11n access point designed for challenging RF environments. A dual-band rugged indoor access point, the 1250 Series supports data rates of up to 600 Mbps to provide users with reliable and predictable coverage for high-bandwidth data, voice, and video applications.

As part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the 1250 Series provides the industry's lowest total cost of ownership and investment protection by integrating seamlessly with the existing network.

RF Excellence
The Cisco Unified Wireless Network with M-Drive technology removes the mystery associated with design, implementation, and ongoing optimization of enterprise wireless networks. With Cisco M-Drive technology, IT has the tools needed to build and operate a high-performance wireless network without the need for extensive RF engineering skills. Cisco M-Drive technology is a systemwide approach that manages the corporate RF spectrum, improves wireless coverage, and increases system capacity and performance. Features include:

• Radio resource management (RRM): Automated self-healing optimizes RF to reduce unpredictability and dead spots and to help ensure high-availability client connections. RRM optimizes network capacity and mitigates interference by continuously monitoring and adjusting access point power and channel settings and then load balancing clients to enhance wireless coverage.

• CleanAir technology: Only Cisco offers a comprehensive solution to detect, classify, locate, and mitigate sources of interference, including non-Wi-Fi sources such as Bluetooth, microwave ovens, cordless phones, and more. With the ability to visualize performance-impacting interference directly from the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS), you can proactively manage the challenges of a shared wireless spectrum and optimize network performance.

Power Options
With a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) interface, the Cisco Aironet 1250 Series offers the flexibility of inline as well as local power options. The Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Point can be powered by a Cisco Ethernet switch, a power injector, or a local power supply. The number of radio modules determines which Cisco Ethernet switch can power the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point.

Powering the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with 802.3af Power over Ethernet
The Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with one RM1252 radio module installed requires 12.95W, which is within the 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Any Cisco switch supporting 802.3af may be used to power the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with one RM1252 radio module installed. This is ideal for businesses that chose to only deploy on a single frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). A single radio provides optimum performance with approximately 300 Mbps maximum PHY data rate. Customers who deploy dual-band, 802.11n radios and power the 1250 Series using standard 802.3af will have more reliable and predictable coverage than that provided by traditional 802.11a/g networks; however, operation will be limited to a single transmitter per radio with maximum PHY data rates of 150 Mbps instead of 300 Mbps per radio. Customers with a significant investment in 802.11 a/b/g client devices that have low-to-medium bandwidth needs but high-reliability requirements will benefit the most from this type of deployment scenario.

Powering the Aironet 1250 Series Access Point with Cisco Enhanced PoE
Cisco Enhanced PoE was designed for customers who want to install new PoE-enabled technologies that require greater than 15.4W per port to function at full capability, such as wireless technology based on the IEEE 802.11n standard. Cisco Enhanced PoE provides the full power requirements for dual-radio modules and eliminates the need to run an additional cabling drop or insert a separate power injector. Support for Enhanced PoE is currently available on a variety of Cisco Catalyst® switching platforms. For more information on Enhanced PoE, visit http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/switches/epoe.html.
