Support 802.11ac Wave 2 in Mission-Critical Networks

Get the technological flexibility your wireless network needs to meet evolving business initiatives. Our best-in-class Aironet 2800 access points address the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard. They provide innovations that help you meet todays needs and future goals.

Chances are your network is completely different today than even just last year, and almost unrecognizable from what it was 5 or 10 years ago. Technology changes quickly, and so do the needs of your organization.

Your users expect their wireless networks to always work, to be highly secure, and to perform consistently. To meet these demands and the future challenges of your organization, it¡¦s critical to update your network.

Features and Capabilities

For mission-critical networks, the Cisco Aironet 2800 Access Points are 802.11ac Wave 2 compliant. This means that access points provide your network the increased bandwidth to cover:

• More devices entering your organization
• Uninterrupted video use in all of its forms, from video calls to streaming
• Consistent 24-hour connection to Internet of Things devices

With the highest Wi-Fi performance ever, the Cisco Aironet 2800 allows a higher data rate and freer flowing wireless data traffic with wider channels.

The Cisco Aironet 2800 Series 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, getting the information they need quicker.

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.

Dual 5-GHz Support

The Cisco Aironet 2800 Access Points doubles the scale of 5-GHz mobile devices and raises the performance of high-density environments.

Using the 2800s 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.

Cisco High Density Experience

Cisco High Density Experience comes standard, giving the 2800 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 HDX features include:

• Turbo Performance, which maintains speed and provides a consistent user experience even with a high number of 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.
