Cisco WAP321 Access Point Kuwait
The Cisco WAP321 Kuwait Wireless-N Selectable-Band Access Point with Single Point Setup is a sleek, affordable, and easy-to-deploy device that delivers fast, highly secure wireless connectivity. It supports high-speed connections with Gigabit Ethernet LAN interface for demanding applications. The Cisco WAP321 bridges wired LANs together wirelessly, making it easier for small businesses to expand their networks.
Designed for growing organizations, the Cisco WAP321 Kuwait offers the ability to smoothly scale your network by bridging wired LANs together wirelessly, to reduce cabling and installation costs. It supports multiple Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) to enable you to segregate traffic for different departments, users, and communication devices.
For companies that need to provide secure wireless guest access, the Cisco WAP321 offers captive portal support that lets you create a wireless hotspot with visitor authentication.
The Cisco WAP321 Kuwait is simple to set up and use, with intuitive wizard-based configuration to get you up and running in minutes. A sleek, compact design with flexible mounting options enables the access point to smoothly blend into any small business environment. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support makes the device easy to install without the need for separate power plugs or expensive new wiring.
To enhance reliability and safeguard sensitive business information data, the Cisco Wi-Fi Kuwait supports WiFi Protected Access (WPA2), encoding all your wireless transmissions with powerful encryption. 802.1X RADIUS authentication helps keep unauthorized users out. Single Point Setup is a controllerless multi-access point deployment technology that allows you to deploy and manage multiple access points in a simple and cost-effective way across your premises.
Single Point Setup provides a unique centralized method to administer and control wireless services across multiple devices. Via one access point on the LAN, you have a single view of the whole WLAN to replicate configuration, security, and management across all access points.
With the Cisco WAP321 Kuwait, you can build on your existing network to deliver high-performance wireless access with the scalability you need as your business grows and evolves.
