  1. LAN Wireless Solutions March 20, 2000 Cisco Aironet 340 Series

  2. Agenda • Cisco Wireless Initiatives • WLAN Market Trends and Dynamics • Applications • Customer WLAN Requirements • Introducing Cisco Aironet 340 Series • Customer Adoption • Summary

  3. Cisco’s Wireless Initiatives Point-Point/Multipoint Wireless Wireless LAN Mobile cellular voice/data Communications Wireless Local Loop

  4. WLAN Market Drivers & Trends • Wireless LAN “Tornado” driven by: • Recent adoption of IEEE 802.11(b) standard • 11 Mbps speeds a reality • Lower costs • Anytime, anywhere mobile computing • Sales are expected to grow from $771 million in 1999 to $2.2 billion in 2004* • 2.4 GHz band is: • Available without a license • Available Globally • Cisco’s entrance helps validate the WLAN market *Cahners In-Stat

  5. Diverse and Attractive Markets • Enterprise & Small/Medium Businesses • Consumer/Home • Education • K-12 cost effective network infrastructure • Dynamic class sizes in universities • Healthcare • Access and update patient data directly at the point of care

  6. Wireless LAN Applications:In-Building • Network Mobility Constant access to critical business information • Overlay to existing wired networks • Free standing network when wires aren’t feasible Delivers high speed LAN without the high first time installation costs of a wired network • Flexible WLAN Solution Cost effective, quick network deployment

  7. Wireless LAN Applications:Building-to-Building • Building-to-building connection provides cost and deployment benefits • Eliminates recurring leased line charges, physical barriers between buildings and frustrating installation delays • Easy to deploy and re-deploy • License free

  8. Customer WLAN Requirements Market Requirement Proof Points • Secure • Up to 128 bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) • Must integrate with existing LAN management infrastructure • Roaming to extend the network; deployment in large enterprise facilities • 802.11(b); FCC-certified • Under $200/NIC • Bandwidth for mainstream business applications Manageable Scalable Standards-based • Price/Performance

  9. Introducing the Cisco Aironet 340 Series Wireless LAN Solutions The new Cisco Aironet 340 Series of 802.11b compliant high speed wireless solutions offers the best performance, manageability, scalability and security for both in-building and building to building wireless applications Fully-integrated family of wireless LAN products: • PC Card/PCI and ISA Client Adapters • Access Points • Line-of-Sight Bridge Products • Antennas & Accessories

  10. Cisco Aironet 340 Series Client Adapters • Client access for both notebook and desktop systems • Broad Operating Systems Support: • Windows 95, 98, • Windows NT 4.0 • Windows 2000 • Windows CE • Novell Netware clients • Easy, simple installation • Lifetime limited warranty

  11. Cisco Aironet 340 Series Access Points • Center point of a stand-alone wireless network • Connection point between wireless and wired networks • Enables mobile roaming and coverage throughout a building

  12. Cisco Aironet 340 Series Bridges • Building-to-Building connectivity at up to 25 miles (line of sight) • Cost effective alternative to leased line/T1 • Rapid, simple deployment and re-deployment • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint • No government license required

  13. Security Wireless LANs raise security implications not found with traditional wired LANs. Cisco addresses these concerns: • 128-bit (Strong Encryption) 802.11 optional Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) • Inherent security of spread spectrum • Upcoming security enhancements: • Certificate Server for authentication and centralized security management • Multiple certificate server support • x.509 compliance

  14. Manageability • SNMP-compliant MIBs enablecentralized management with a variety of packages • Browser or Telnet AP configuration, diagnostics, mapping utilities for management “out of the box” • Local or Remote AP Configuration through Console Port or over LAN • Aironet Client Utility (ACU) for site surveys, client configuration

  15. Scalability To meet Business Class requirements, WLANs must scale to thousands of users. • Microcellular Architecture delivers uninterrupted network access as users roam from one AP to another • Provides coverage for a facility of practically any size • Load Sharing maintains throughput as clients increase within a microcell • Variety of directional and omnidirectional antennas tailor coverage area to fit facilities of different sizes and materials

  16. Performance • Delivers Performance and Price: 11Mbps NICs are < $200 • 802.11b Direct Sequence is the High Speed Standard • Aironet Leads in Throughput and Range • 15+ years of signal processing experience means better multipath management • Third generation Aironet MAC, RISC-based Access Points • Wide range of diversity antennas cover all applications

  17.
