Wireless LAN (WLAN) Radio Frequency (RF) management is poised to become the new competitive battlefront. This includes technologies such as beamforming, smart antennas, and any other techniques used to control the wireless LAN physical layer. One might think that 802.11 technology innovation is slowing down, and that future competitive battles will primarily rely on marketing fluff, but not so.

Yesterday Cisco announced the Aironet 1140 series of Access Points (APs) and M-drive technology. The Aironet 1140 is Cisco’s next-generation 802.11n access point and is a significant advancement over its predecessor, the Aironet 1250. The most significant difference is the fact that the Aironet 1140 has a maximum power draw that is within Power over Ethernet (PoE) limits. The Aironet 1140 is also thinner and lighter than the Aironet 1250, and uses internal antennas (see the table below). In addition, the Aironet 1140 uses the same mechanical brackets as the Aironet 1250 in order to simplify AP replacement. Continue reading Cisco announces Aironet 1140 and M-Drive
