Stable controller integration and consistent enterprise throughput.
Professional Cisco AP offering dependable indoor coverage.
Strong RP-TNC antenna flexibility improved signal reach.
Reliable roaming support across high-density areas.
Steady uptime and predictable wireless stability.
Business-grade dual-band solution for enterprise WLAN deployments.
The Cisco AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9 is a dual-band 802.11a/g lightweight access point offering centralized management via LWAPP. It delivers high-performance wireless connectivity for enterprise deployments in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
The AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9 operates simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz (802.11g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) bands, delivering combined data rates up to 108 Mbps per radio for versatile dual-band coverage.
This access point integrates with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC) via LWAPP, enabling centralized configuration, monitoring, policy enforcement and seamless roaming across the enterprise network.
Yes. The AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9 supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying deployment by carrying both data and power over a single Ethernet cable.
The AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9 features two RP-TNC connectors per radio, allowing use of Cisco or third-party external antennas optimized for coverage patterns and specific deployment environments.
LWAPP (Lightweight Access Point Protocol) centralizes AP management on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, streamlining firmware upgrades, security policy updates, and seamless client roaming.
This model supports campus and branch office deployments, ceiling or wall mounting, and can operate in autonomous mode with IOS firmware if required for standalone operation.
It supports WPA2-Enterprise (802.1X), WPA/WPA2-PSK, MAC authentication, rogue AP detection, and comprehensive client isolation for robust wireless network protection.
Optimized for small to medium-density environments, the 1242AG series can support up to 100 concurrent clients per radio under typical enterprise usage patterns.
