Product Features
Technical Overview
The Cisco 3802I access point operates on the IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi generation, which provides higher data rates, improved multi-user performance, and better efficiency in crowded RF environments compared to previous standards. It utilizes dual concurrent radios to transmit on both the 5 GHz and 2.40 GHz bands simultaneously, allowing network administrators to balance client load and optimize for performance or coverage as needed. The 5.20 Gbit/s maximum wireless transmission speed represents the theoretical aggregate throughput across all spatial streams and bands under ideal conditions.
On the wired side, the access point is equipped with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports. One port typically serves as the primary uplink, while the second can be used for daisy-chaining another access point or connecting a wired device. Both ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ or similar standards, enabling the access point to be powered directly from a compatible PoE switch or injector. A dedicated management port provides out-of-band configuration access for network administrators, facilitating setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting without disrupting the primary data path.
