Objective
Explain how wireless LAN components are deployed in a small- to medium-sized business.
Instructor Notes: This activity can be completed individually, in small groups, or as a class.
Scenario
An assessment has been completed to validate the need for an upgrade to your small- to medium-sized wireless
network. Approved for purchase are indoor and outdoor access points and one wireless controller. You must
compare equipment models and their specifications before you purchase.
Therefore, you visit the Wireless Compare Products and Services web site and see a features chart for indoor
and outdoor wireless access points and controller devices. After reviewing the chart, you note there is some
terminology with which you are unfamiliar:
MIMO
Cisco FlexConnect
Band Select
Research the above terms. Prepare your own chart with your companys most important requirements listed for
purchasing the indoor and outdoor wireless access points and wireless controller. This chart will assist in
validating your purchase order to your accounting manager and CEO.

Wireless device features definitions
FIPS
FIPS is the Federal Information Processing Standard regarding security for wireless
devices.
MIMO
Unlike SISO (Single Input, Single Output), MIMO technology uses multiple radio
bands and paths to transfer network data through multiple signals. Multiple antennas
are used to send multiple spatial streams at the same time allowing for higher data
transmission speeds and data delivery payloads.
