Integrated Wireless LAN Capability

The Cisco 890 Series is ideal for enterprise small branch offices and small businesses that need to be connected to larger enterprise networks. These routers help extend corporate networks to secure remote sites while giving users access to the same applications found in a corporate office. They provide increased reliability for diversity of wireless data, voice, and video applications. When users require wireless LAN (WLAN) access, visibility and control of network security are even more critical at the remote site. The Cisco 890 Series meets this need with a single device that combines integrated 802.11a/g/n capabilities with security features such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), including authentication with IEEE 802.1X with Cisco Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) and Protected EAP (PEAP), and encryption with WPA Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). The Cisco 890 Series wireless models that include the integrated access point have full feature parity with the Cisco Aironet® 1250 Series Access Point and can be used in either autonomous or Cisco Unified WLAN modes. In Cisco Unified WLAN mode, as part of an enterprise WLAN architecture, all WLAN functions are centrally managed through Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS). The Cisco 897 with wireless supports Cisco CleanAir technology.
