Overview
The Cisco Wireless Security and Spectrum Intelligence (WSSI) module, taking advantage of the flexible modular design of the Cisco Aironet 3600 series access point, delivers unprecedented, always-on security scanning and spectrum intelligence, which helps you avoid RF interference so that you get better coverage and performance on your wireless network.¦The WSSI field-upgradeable module is a dedicated radio that off loads all monitoring and security services from the client/data serving radios to the security monitor module. This not only allows for better client performance but also reduces costs by eliminating the need for dedicated monitor mode access points and the Ethernet infrastructure required to connect those devices into their network.¦Together, the 3600 series access points and WSSI module enable the customer to concurrently provide state-of-the-art security and spectrum analysis functions for Wi-Fi clients on all channels. Once deployed, the module is constantly scanning all channels to help ensure the most secure and robust wireless experience available in the industry.
  • 24 x 7 full spectrum monitor and mitigation for aWIPS, CleanAir, context awareness, rogue detection and radio resource management
  • 24 x 7 on-channel aWIPS threat protection
  • 23x more security and spectrum coverage
  • 30%+ CAPEX cost savings versus dedicated monitor mode access point
  • Zero touch configuration
Modular flexibility and efficiency Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of award-winning and robust access point design, the 3600 series deliveries extreme flexibility with its modular design. The WSSI module is the first module to take advantage of this flexibility by delivering unparalleled security mitigation and spectrum analysis while enabling customers to dramatically reduce the infrastructure costs that would be required to deploy the same capability.
