Objective

The WAP125 Wireless-AC/N Dual Band Desktop Access Point with PoE is the newest addition to the roster of Wireless Access Points of Cisco. The WAP125 uses concurrent dual-band radio for improved coverage and user capacity. Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces with Power over Ethernet (PoE) facilitate flexible installation and reduce cabling and wiring costs.

To provide highly secure guest access to visitors and other users, WAP125 supports a captive portal with multiple authentication options and the ability to configure rights, roles, and bandwidth. Configure a cluster of WAPs for seamless roaming within a campus and manage them through a single IP address.

This article shows the product specifications of the WAP125 Wireless-AC/N Dual Band Desktop Access Point with PoE.
