An AP is the center point in an all-wireless network or serves as a connection point between a
wired and wireless network. Multiple APs can be placed throughout a facility to give users with WLAN adapters
the ability to roam freely throughout an extended area while maintaining uninterrupted access to all network
resources.
A Rugged Design to Increase Deployment Options
The Cisco Aironet 350 Series AP is available in a rugged version (AIR-AP352E2R-x-K9). This enhanced version
includes two RP-TNC connectors for use with optional antennas, an extended operating temperature range of -20 to
55 C, allowing for placement outdoors in a NEMA case or in harsh indoor environments such as warehouses and
factories, and a durable metal enclosure. With its metal enclosure, the Cisco Aironet 350 Series AP is UL 2043
certified, and designed to achieve plenum rating as defined by various municipal fire codes. The Cisco Aironet 350
Series AP is also available in a standard version (AIR-AP352E2C) with a plastic enclosure and two captured,
nonremovable 2.2 dBi diversity dipole antennas.
