Cisco rolls out wireless solutions for telework
Cisco has rolled out new wireless hardware and software solutions designed to extend the corporate wireless network from the office to the home teleworker, incorporating existing control, management and security infrastructure.
The Cisco OfficeExtend solution includes new access points and a full line of wireless controllers that offer high-performance wireless connectivity and include the industry’s first dual-band 802.11n access point specifically designed for teleworkers. These new solutions require no intervention from end users, lowering information technology support requirements and overall cost of ownership by allowing IT professionals to remotely manage home access points alongside the corporate infrastructure.
Cisco’s new wireless controllers are designed to support the deployments of increasing scale and sophistication across any home or office environment. The new Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Service Module supports up to 500 corporate and “teleworking” access points and can be scaled to support the increasing number of mobile devices running rich-media applications such as telepresence, voice and virtual desktops.
