FAQ
What Wi-Fi standard does the Cisco AP2802I support?
The Cisco Aironet AP2802I supports the IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, which provides faster speeds, improved reliability, and better performance in high-density environments compared to previous standards like 802.11n. This makes it suitable for modern business applications including video conferencing, cloud access, and simultaneous device connectivity.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the Cisco AP2802I does not support Power over Ethernet through its RJ-45 ports. It requires separate power connectivity, which means you'll need to plan for both data and power cabling during installation. This is important to consider when designing your network deployment to ensure proper power availability at the installation location.
How many network ports does the AP2802I have?
The access point features two RJ-45 network ports that support Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet connections. These ports provide flexible connectivity options for uplinking to your network infrastructure or daisy-chaining to additional devices. The dual-port design offers deployment flexibility in various network topologies.
What wireless technologies enhance performance on this access point?
The AP2802I incorporates both MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) and beamforming technologies. MIMO uses multiple antennas to improve signal reliability and throughput, while beamforming focuses wireless signals toward connected devices rather than broadcasting uniformly. Together, these technologies provide better coverage, reduced interference, and improved performance for client devices.
Is this access point suitable for ceiling mounting?
Yes, the Cisco AP2802I is designed for ceiling mounting with its compact dimensions of 2.17" H x 8.66" W x 8.68" D. The unit includes standard mounting provisions and a low-profile design that blends discreetly into office environments. This makes it ideal for installation in drop ceilings or on solid surfaces throughout commercial spaces.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
The Cisco Aironet AP2802I comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This extensive warranty coverage provides long-term confidence for business deployments, ensuring support for the product throughout its operational lifespan in your network infrastructure.
