Cisco has introduced a new Wi-Fi access point designed to meet the demands placed on enterprise Wi-Fi networks by the influx of smartphones and tablets into the corporate environment.

The device as incorporates Cisco ClientLink 2.0 software, claimed to "boost performance for 100 percent of wireless client devices connected to the access point, regardless of the device's wireless signal strength and spatial stream categoryfrom high-end laptops, smartphones and tablets to industry-specific devices to older wireless devices.

The unit as well supports the IEEE 802.11r and 802.11u. 802.11r enables mobile devices to move between access points without breaking a session, a critical requirement for many applications, Cisco says. 802.11u enables the access point to communicate available network services to mobile devices. Cisco claims to be the first vendor to support both these standards.
