  - Kensington cable lock
      - Benefit: Provides physical security

  - K802.11n will change the way customers use wireless
      - More users and a diverse set of applications, including bandwidth-intensive, e.g., video-conferencing,
         CAD/CAM, medical imaging
      - Wireless will become a pervasive, fundamental component of enterprise networking, expected to replace
         Ethernet as end-user network access over time


  - Ensures peak 802.11n performance
      - 802.11n radio delivers business-critical applications up to 150 Mbps
      - 802.11a/b/g radio ensures a/b/g clients do not compromise n-speeds


  - Cost-effective
      - Costs 22-33% less than competitors
      - No need to pay a premium for second 'n' radio when most environments need second radio for legacy
         b/g clients
      - Especially useful long-term for customers with a/b/g VoIP phones (n-based handsets are years away)


  - Unparalleled investment protection and lowest TCO
      - Lowest 802.11n TCO
        - MAP-625 is 23-33% less expensive than competitors
        - Wireless controllers support the most 802.11n APs (to support the same number, competitors require
           b/g clients multiple controllers)

      - Lowest upgrade costs when moving from a/b/g to 'n'
        - Wireless: supports 802.11n's 500% increase in wireless traffic with a 0% increase in controller capacity
        - Competitors: support a 500% increase in wireless traffic only with a 500% increase in controller capacity
      - No PoE upgrades (with full 3x3 MIMO operation)
      - Best use of WLAN and LAN infrastructure
        - Wireless: Minimal traffic processed by controller; controller consumes only 1 port on core LAN switch;
           traffic hits core LAN 2X round trip
        - Competitors: All traffic passes through controller; controller consumes multiple core LAN switches;
           all traffic hits core LAN 4X round trip
