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.
