Cisco Aironet 3802E IEEE 802.11ac 5.20 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - 5 GHz, 2.40 GHz - MIMO - 2 x

Features and Benefits

• 802.11ac Wave 2 Support – The Cisco Aironet 3802E Wireless Access Point supports 802.11ac Wave 2, providing a theoretical connection rate of up to 5.2 Gbps*- that’s roughly four times the rate offered by today’s high-end 802.11ac access points. The boost helps you stay ahead of the performance and bandwidth expectations of today’s mobile worker, who usually uses multiple Wi-Fi devices instead of just one. As such, users are adding proportionally larger traffic loads to the wireless LAN, which has outpaced Ethernet as the default enterprise access network. (*up to 2.6 Gbps per radio)
• High-density Experience – Best-in-class RF architecture provides high-performance coverage for a high density of client devices, giving the end user a seamless wireless experience. Features include custom hardware in 802.11ac Wave 2 radios, Cisco CleanAir, Cisco ClientLink 4.0, cross-access point noise reduction, and an optimized client roaming experience.
• MU-MIMO Technology – Supporting three spatial streams, MU-MIMO (Multiuser multiple-input multiple-output) enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices, to maximize throughput.
• Multigigabit Ethernet Support – With multigigabit Ethernet support, the wireless access point provides multiple gigabit uplink speeds of 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps in addition to 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps speeds. All speeds are supported on Category 5e cabling for an industry first, as well as 10G BASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz) cabling.
• Flexible Radio Assignment – This feature allows the access points to intelligently determine the operating mode of serving radios based on the RF environment. The access points can operate in the following modes:

• 160 MHz Channel Support – Supporting channels up to 160 MHz wide, Dynamic Bandwidth Selection allows the access point to dynamically switch between 20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz channels, depending on the RF channel conditions, providing the industry’s best-performing wireless network.
• Zero-impact Application Visibility and Control* – Use dedicated hardware acceleration to improve the performance of line-speed applications such as Cisco Application Visibility and Control. (*Post FCS)
• Cisco ClientLink 4.0 – Cisco ClientLink 4.0 technology improves downlink performance to all mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11a/b/g/n/ac while improving battery life on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
• Cisco CleanAir 160 MHz* – Cisco CleanAir technology, enhanced with 160 MHz channel support, provides proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz wide channels to combat performance problems due to wireless interference. (*Post FCS)
• Cross-access Point Noise Reduction – A Cisco innovation that enables access points to intelligently collaborate in real time about RF conditions so that users connect with optimized signal quality and performance.
• Optimized Access Point Roaming – This helps ensure that client devices associate with the access point in their coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available.
• Automatic Link Aggregation (LAG) Support – 802.3ad (Link Aggregation Control Protocol [LACP]) compliance allows both Ethernet interfaces to automatically enable LAG, increasing overall throughput to the access point.
• Cisco Mobility Express – Flexible deployment mode through the Cisco Mobility Express solution is ideal for high density environments and can support up to 100 access points. Easy setup allows the wireless access point to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.
• Apple Features – Apple and Cisco have responded to this challenge by partnering to create an optimal mobile experience for iOS devices on corporate networks based on Cisco technologies. Specifically, using new features in iOS 10 in combination with the latest software and hardware from Cisco, businesses can now more effectively use their network infrastructure to deliver an enhanced user experience across all business applications. At the center of the collaboration is a unique handshake between Cisco WLAN and Apple devices. This handshake enables Cisco WLAN to provide an optimal Wi-Fi roaming experience to Apple devices. Additionally, Cisco WLAN trusts Apple devices and gives priority treatment for business-critical applications specified by the Apple device.
