Aironet 3800: An Access Point You Can Trust
It’s a slow day at the office. That is, until the boss shows up and calls a surprise all-hands meeting in the building’s largest conference room. Attendance is mandatory, and the boss’s speech is to be streamed to offsite colleagues.
You have no time to prepare your wireless network for the number of people cramming into the conference room. And you know they’ll all have their devices out following the speech. You only hope your wireless network can deal with that many devices connecting to it all at once.
But wait: you remember that you have the Cisco Aironet 3800 access point handling your Wi-Fi needs. It has more bandwidth, and includes features like Flexible Radio Assignment. So, all those connected devices in the big conference room? And the video they’re all streaming? No problem at all.

Features and Capabilities
Aironet 3800 access points help you:
Improve Performance for Multiple Client Devices
The 802.11ac Wave 2 access points use multiuser, multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) technology. This allows different data streams to all flow at once from the access point to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2-supported devices. Now, multiple Wave 2 devices can connect at the same time. And they can get the information they need quicker.
Boost Speed, Save on Cabling
The 3800 Series offers support for multigigabit-Ethernet (mGig), with existing Cat 5e, Cat 6, and 10GBase-T (Cat6A) cabling. NBASE-T helps you increase speed, without the added costs to upgrade your cabling.
Handle High Density Traffic in Real Time
Sometimes your wireless network gets hit hard with unexpected traffic. You need an access point that can automatically adjust.
The 3800 access points offer dual 5-GHz radio support. This doubles the scale of 5-GHz mobile devices, raising the performance of high-density environments.
Using the 3800’s dual radios, Flexible Radio Assignment automatically improves your network, and helps you stay prepared. Flexible Radio Assignment boosts the mobile user experience by automatically detecting when a large number of devices are connected to a network.
Improve Efficiency with Cisco High Density Experience
High Density Experience comes standard, giving the 3800 Series top-of-the-line network efficiency over a large number of wireless clients. The technology uses customized chipsets to target the needs of high-density networks, and is built with best-in-class RF architecture. This gives you a better user experience for high-performance applications.
Other features include:
- Turbo Performance, which maintains speed and provides a consistent user experience, even with many devices running high-bandwidth applications.
- Cisco CleanAir Technology, which labels and disposes of more than 20 different types of interference. This includes non-Wi-Fi interference too.
Improve Flexibility with a Smart Antenna Connector
A second physical antenna connection gives you more network design flexibility in high-density deployments and large open-area coverage.
Examples of this open-area coverage include:
- High-ceiling auditoriums
- Convention centers, arenas, and stadiums
- Libraries
- Cafeterias
Specifications at a Glance:
- Dual radios: 2.4 and 5 GHz or two 5 GHz with Flexible Radio Assignment to enhance performance based on dynamic network conditions.
- Combined Data Rate of over 5 Gbps and channel support up to 160 MHz for optimal bandwidth.
- 4x4 MU-MIMO radio design with three spatial streams.
- Auto-adjusting Flex Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to stop interference from other radio systems.
