Any Cisco access point capable of being a LAP will meet those requirements.
Generally speaking I would go with the 1252 over the 1142 - the former can use any RP-TNC antenna you like while the latter can only use their internal antenna. I see Cisco has 1260-series and 3500-series APs these days, but they are new enough you may not be able get one until later in the year. It appears they are lightweight only.
