Cisco HWIC-AP-AG-A AP-HWIC, 2 Radios (2.4/5Ghx Radios 802.11) HWIC Access Point Interface

HWIC-AP-AG-A is IEEE 802.11 Access points in a High Speed Wan interface card (HWIC) form factor for the Cisco 1800 (Modular), Cisco 2800, and Cisco 3800 Integrated Services Routers Series. The HWIC-AP-AG-A come in a single-wide form factor. The HWIC-AP-AG-A supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g and has two radios for simultaneous operation in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

Applications

WLAN Coverage in Enterprise Branch Offices
A Cisco Access Point HWIC in an enterprise branch data deployment scenario provides the flexibility of integrated IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, routing and switching functions in one unit. This deployment provides high-speed connections between individual IEEE 802.11 wireless lan clients (PDAs, laptops, desktops) and the wired lan based servers, and other network resources for IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11 a/b/g based access point services and allows WAN connection at Layer 3 through the Cisco Modular access router.

Converged IP Communications in a Small-to-Large Enterprise Branch with Data Devices and IP Phones
The Access Point HWICs when combined with analog or digital voice modules for the Cisco 2800/3800 series routers provide a small branch office infrastructure for IP Telephony deployments. This solution can be combined with Cisco CallManager Express IP Telephony and the Cisco IOS Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRS Telephony) solution. SRS Telephony runs on the local branch office router allowing it to automatically detect a failure in the network, and initiates a process to intelligently auto-configure the router to provide call-processing backup redundancy for the IP phones in that office.
The Cisco Access Point HWIC supports separate wireless VLAN configuration for wireless IP Phones. Separate wireless VLANs allow network administrators to segment wireless IP phones into separate logical networks even though the data and voice infrastructures are physically present on the same network platform.
