User Manual
FAQ
What wireless standard does this Cisco access point support?
This Cisco Aironet 3702E access point supports the IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard, which provides high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity with a maximum theoretical data rate of 1.27 Gbit/s. 802.11ac operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, offering backward compatibility with older 802.11a/b/g/n devices while delivering improved performance for newer clients.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the Cisco Aironet 3702E includes a PoE PD (Powered Device) port that supports standard 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet. This allows the access point to receive both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the mounting location. PoE deployment reduces cabling complexity and enables flexible placement in ceiling or wall locations.
What mounting options are available for this wireless access point?
This access point is designed specifically for ceiling mounting, with a form factor optimized for installation on standard T-bar ceiling grids or directly onto solid ceiling surfaces.
