Scalable Wireless Performance

Unleash the power of thought by giving employees the tools to communicate and collaborate anywhere at any time. Cisco's best-of-breed 802.11n wireless network integrates with the power of the wired network to deliver a truly borderless mobility experience.

As the leader in 802.11n technology, Cisco was the first vendor with an enterprise-class WiFi-certified 802.11n product and led the industry toward IEEE ratification of the standard in September 2009.

Why Cisco for 802.11n? Because Cisco:

• Has a long heritage of continuous innovation, delivering features that improve mixed-client environment performance and allow you to migrate to 802.11n at your own pace.
• Provides industry-leading wireless performance--up to 169 percent faster than wireless from other vendors.
• Delivers the industry's most flexible and scalable architecture, which seamlessly integrates with the existing wired network topology to deliver a simple-to-manage end-to-end solution.
• Eases your adoption with Wireless LAN services.

Businesses agree that now is the time to take advantage of 802.11n and leverage the power of Cisco Wireless.
