The Cisco Aironet 2700 Series of Wi-Fi access points (APs) delivers industry-leading 802.11ac performance at a price point ideal for plugging capacity and coverage gaps in dense indoor environments. The Aironet 2700 Series extends 802.11ac speed and features to a new generation of smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops now shipping with the faster, 802.11ac Wi-Fi radios.¦The Aironet 2700 series supports 802.11ac "Wave 1" in its first implementation, providing a theoretical connection rate of up to 1.3 Gbps. That's roughly triple the rates offered by today's high-end 802.11n APs. The boost helps you stay ahead of the performance and bandwidth expectations of today's mobile worker, who usually uses multiple Wi-Fi devices instead of just one. As such, users are adding proportionally larger traffic loads to the wireless LAN, which has outpaced Ethernet as the default enterprise access network.
- 802.11ac with 3x4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology supporting three 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 to ensure that client devices associate with the AP in their coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available
- Cisco ClientLink 3.0 technology to improve downlink performance to all mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac
- CleanAir delivers proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz-wide channels to combat performance problems due to wireless interference
- MIMO equalization capabilities, which optimize uplink performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade
- The Cisco Aironet 2700 Series sustains higher-speed connections farther from the AP than competing solutions
