The new Cisco® Aironet® 1140 Series Access Point promises to meet the needs for integrating high-quality voice, video and rich media across wireless networks with greater performance and throughput than prior 802.11a/g-based wireless networks.

“Cisco leads the industry with more 802.11n deployments than any other vendor, a result of our expertise in addressing the next generation of mobility solutions that enterprises need to enhance and simplify their business,” said Maciej Kranz, vice president of product marketing for the Cisco Wireless Networking Business Unit. “To support the increasing wave of mobile devices, media-rich collaborative applications and mobile user expectations, businesses need a proven 802.11n wireless solution, and the easy-to-deploy 1140 Series Access Point is designed to do just that.”

Cisco says the access point is power efficient as well as provides a reliable and consistent radio frequency (RF) platform that simplifies wireless adoption and enhances 802.11n performance.
