The Cisco Aironet 1042 Controller-based Access Point (AIR-LAP1142N-R-K9) is a radio access point designed to offer reliable wireless connectivity in a variety of deployment environments. It operates with a controller, ensuring centralised management while supporting multiple access points across large networks. This model is part of the Cisco Aironet Series, known for delivering robust performance in busy wireless environments.
One of the main highlights of this access point is its support for dual-band operation, functioning efficiently on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. This dual-band configuration offers greater flexibility and helps improve network performance by minimising interference and congestion.
The device is compliant with IEEE 802.11n standards, providing high-speed wireless connectivity, which is essential for environments requiring fast data transmission such as businesses, schools, and public institutions. With multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology, it ensures stronger, more reliable wireless signals, even in spaces with multiple users.
Installation is straightforward, particularly in a controller-based network, where centralised management simplifies both configuration and control. The access point also features advanced security protocols, including WPA2 and other CISCO proprietary technologies designed to protect sensitive data and maintain user privacy.
The Cisco Aironet 1042 has several key elements like integrated antennas, allowing it to deliver high performance with minimal physical footprints. In addition, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), making installation more flexible by eliminating the need for separate power lines.
