AIR-AP2802I-FK910C Cisco Aironet 2800i 5.2 Gbps Eco-pack 10 APs

The Cisco® Aironet® 2800 Series Wi-Fi access points are highly versatile and deliver the most functionality in the industry.

The Aironet 2800 Series is packed with the features and capabilities that have made Cisco the industry leader, at a price point that is ideal for managing wireless growth, capacity, and coverage gaps in dense indoor environments.

The Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Wi-Fi access points provide 802.11ac Wave 2 with Multi User MIMO (MU MIMO). This AP series offers integrated and external antenna options, with a dedicated 5 GHz radio and a flexible radio that can be configured as a 2.4 GHz radio (default) or as an additional 5 GHz radio. 

This access point supports a greater overall High Density Experience (HDX) which provides mission-critical wireless to meet your performance needs. The access points support full interoperability with leading 802.11ac clients, and support a mixed deployment with other access points and controllers.

Access Point Features

The 2800 series access point is a wireless controller-based product and supports:

■Integrated antennas on the 2802I access point model (AIR-AP2802I-x-K9)

■Flexible Radio Assignment, allowing for either manual configuration or for the APs to intelligently determine the operating role of the integrated radios based on the available RF environment. The AP can operate in the following modes:

–2.4 GHz and 5 GHz role, where one radio serves clients in 2.4 GHz mode, while the other serves clients in 5 GHz mode.

–Dual 5 GHz radio role, with both radios operating in the 5 GHz band, actively serving client devices to maximize the benefits of 802.11ac Wave 2 and to increase client device capacity.

–Wireless Security Monitoring and 5 GHz role, where one radio serves 5 GHz clients, while the other radio scans both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz for wIPS attackers, CleanAir interferers, and rogue devices.

■Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology with 3 spatial streams.

■Cross-AP Noise Reduction, a Cisco innovation that enables APs to intelligently collaborate in real time about RF conditions so that users connect with optimized signal quality and performance.

■Optimized AP Roaming for ensuring that client devices associate with the AP in their coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available.

■Cisco ClientLink 4.0 technology for improved downlink performance to all mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices up to 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2. The technology also improves battery life on mobile devices.

■Cisco CleanAir technology enhanced with 160MHz channel support. CleanAir delivers proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, and 80-, and 160-MHz-wide channels to combat performance problems arising from wireless interference.

■MIMO equalization capabilities, which optimize uplink performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade.

The AP supports the following operating modes:

■Local—This is the default mode for the Cisco AP. In this mode, the AP does not serve clients.

■Flexconnect—Flexconnect mode for the Cisco AP.

■Monitor—This is the monitor-only mode for the Cisco AP.

■SE-connect—Spectrum expert-only connect mode allows the AP to perform spectrum intelligence.

■Sensor—Sensor mode for the Cisco AP.
