Cisco Delivers 802.11g Access Points and Multi-Mode Client Adapters

Cisco Systems announced 802.11g Aironet Access Points as well as 802.11g radio upgradeable modules for existing Cisco Aironet 1200 and 1100 Series APs. The APs currently support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) will also be supported in hardware and enabled for all Cisco Aironet 802.11g devices in 2004 via a free software upgrade after ratification of the IEEE 802.11i standard. In addition, Cisco will provide IEEE 802.11a/b/g enabled client adapters in CardBus and PCI form factors supporting Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.


Cisco is pricing all of its new 802.11g products at the same level as their Cisco Aironet 802.11b-based versions.
