Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Cisco LWAPP Aironet 1131, 1232, 1231, and 1242 access points deliver the versatility, high capacity, security, and enterprise-class features required for small, medium and large Government deployments. In FIPS 140-2 mode of operation, the Cisco APs support the IEEE 802.11i and IEEE 802.1x standards and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for WPA2 encryption. WPA2 is the Wi-Fi Alliance certification for interoperable, standards-based WLAN security. The Cisco APs are also Wi-FI CERTIFIED for IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g radio standards.
