HWIC-AP-G-E Use Case

Branch Office Wireless LAN Deployment with Converged 802.11 b/g and WAN Connectivity

A European mid-size enterprise integrates the HWIC-AP-G-E-AP card into Cisco 2901 ISRs across three remote sites. Each router delivers 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g wireless alongside its high-speed WAN link. Outcome: 30% lower hardware costs, 40% faster rollout, unified management via Cisco IOS, and enterprise-grade WPA2-Enterprise security.

Retail POS and Guest Wi-Fi Segmentation for PCI-Compliant Stores

A national retail chain installs the HWIC-AP-G-E-AP card on Cisco 1941 routers to broadcast two SSIDs—one for point-of-sale terminals, one for guest access. Traffic is isolated at Layer 3 to meet PCI DSS requirements while delivering consistent 2.4 GHz b/g coverage. Outcome: enhanced data security, improved guest satisfaction, and streamlined network operations leveraging existing router infrastructure.

Industrial IoT Sensor Network Integration in Manufacturing

An automotive plant in Europe fits Cisco 2911 ISRs with the HWIC-AP-G-E-AP card to wirelessly connect 802.11 b/g IoT sensors on the production line. Real-time telemetry flows into the MES for predictive maintenance. Outcome: 25% reduction in cabling costs, centralized wireless management, and a 15% boost in equipment uptime through proactive monitoring.
