If you use more than one WLC, you need this. Great way to sync configurations, check for common errors, etc. Now displays Persistent Devices from CleanAir Access Points!

Cisco launches a low cost 802.11n Access Point

Details on the 1040 can be found at:

Note the following caveats:

Slower CPU so less overall PPS compared to the 1140

2x2 MIMO

No client link

No media stream

Runs on standard POE and available in controller based or standalone. Should be a great alternative for those of you suffering from Aruba-itis. :)

Of interesting note is the recommendation that all non-FIPS 5.x customers migrate to 6.0. Something we all knew anyways, but this is certainly compelling enough reason to get moved sooner rather than later. For most of us, 4.2.209.0 and 6.0.199.0 (.4) are the target code versions.
