Cisco Aironet 1852E - Wireless access point - 802.11ac (draft 5.0) - 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (draft 5.0) - Dual Band
Ideal for small and medium-sized networks, the Cisco Aironet 1850 Series delivers industry-leading performance for enterprise and service provider markets via enterprise-class 4x4 MIMO, four-spatial-stream access points that support the IEEE's 802.11ac Wave 2 specification.
Multiuser MIMO, allowing transmission of data to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2 capable clients simultaneously to improve client experience.
Transmit beamforming technology to improve downlink performance to mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac, while improving battery life on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets
- MU-MIMO: 802.11ac Wave 2 with 4x4 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology with four spatial streams when operating in single-user MIMO mode and three spatial streams while operating in multiuser MIMO mode, offering 1.7 Gbps rates for more capacity and reliability than competing access points
- APPLICATION VISIBILITY AND CONTROL: Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) deep-packet inspection technology provides application-aware control on a wireless network and enhances manageability and productivity. It also extends Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC) as an end-to-end solution, which gives a complete visibility of applications in the network and allows the administrator to take some action on the same
- RADIO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: Cisco Radio Resource Management (RRM) allows Cisco's Unified WLAN Architecture to continuously analyze the existing RF environments, automatically adjusting each APs' power and channel configurations to help mitigate such things as co-channel interference and signal coverage problems. RRM reduces the need to perform exhaustive site surveys, increases system capacity, and provides automated self-healing functionality to compensate for RF dead zones and AP failures
- SECURITY: Securing the Device: Cisco Umbrella (OpenDNS), Identity PSK (iPSK), IP and DNS ACLs. Securing the Air: Spectrum Intelligence, Wireless Intrusion Detection (WIDS). Securing the Network: 802.1x on AP, AAA profiling and policy
- PEACE OF MIND: Limited lifetime hardware warranty
