Cisco intros Cisco Aironet 3500

Cisco launched its latest wireless innovation-Cisco Aironet 3500 Series
Access Points at its annual Partner Summit 2010 in San Francisco. With this, the
company has addressed to a great extent, one of the big challenges that the
mobile workforce faces.

Wireless interference has been identified as one of the top causes of
wireless performance issues. The new product has clear air technology as its USP.
It combines a patented CleanAir

Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) in the access point with
system-level intelligence to detect, classify, locate and mitigate the impact of
wireless interference.

This new spectrum intelligence technology tackles challenges of
radio-frequency interference, making mission-critical wireless networks more
reliable. It is a significant development as more and more employees are going
mobile and more and more wireless networks are acquiring mission-critical
importance.

ClearAir Technology can reduce wireless troubleshooting time from hours to
minutes and, in many cases, can automatically resolve problems. It can assess
the problem and adjust the wireless signal to operate in an unaffected spectrum
in just about 30 seconds.

Cisco Aironet 3500 Series is scheduled to be available from May 2010. The
latest release of Cisco Unified Wireless Network 7.0 integrates clean air
capabilities across Cisco's Wireless Control

System, the 3300 Series Mobility Service Engine and all Cisco Wireless
Controllers.
