Wireless LAN

With the introduction of wireless communication, Cisco Unified IP Phones with wireless capability, such as
the Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971, can provide voice communication within the corporate WLAN. The Cisco
Unified IP Phone depends upon and interacts with wireless access points (AP) and key Cisco IP telephony
components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, to provide wireless voice
communication. Cisco Access Points can run in standalone or unified mode. Unified mode requires the Cisco
Unified Wireless LAN Controller.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 exhibits Wi-Fi capabilities which can be used with 802.11a, 802.11b, and
802.11g Wi-Fi.
