The Cisco Aironet 1260 Series Access Point with part number AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 is a high-performance, controller-based wireless access point designed to deliver reliable and secure connectivity in business environments. It supports dual-radio operation with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, allowing simultaneous wireless transmissions for increased network efficiency and flexibility.
This access point is distinguished by its compliance with the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, enabling data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio. The access point features MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology, which improves coverage, performance, and reliability by allowing the access point to manage multiple data streams at once.
Specifically designed for use within a Cisco controller-based wireless network, the AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 operates as a lightweight mode Access Point (LAP), requiring a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to manage configuration and network management tasks centrally. This setup ensures secure and scalable wireless deployment across medium to large sites.
The external antenna model of the 1260 Series offers increased deployment flexibility, as it allows the use of specialised antennas to extend coverage in challenging environments. The device is also fully compliant with the European standard (E) for regulatory wireless spectrum, ensuring it can be deployed legally across Europe.
For power options, the AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power cables, ensuring easier deployment across areas without direct electrical outlets.
