Product Features
Technical Overview
The Aironet 4800 leverages advanced wireless technologies to maximize network performance and efficiency. Its dual-band radio operates on both 5 GHz and 2.40 GHz bands, supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g/n clients while delivering high-speed 802.11ac connectivity. MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) and beamforming technologies enhance signal reliability and range, directing Wi-Fi signals toward connected devices for improved throughput and reduced interference.
On the wired side, the access point offers two 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing high-speed uplinks and daisy-chaining capabilities. PoE PD (Power over Ethernet Powered Device) functionality simplifies installation by receiving power and data over a single Ethernet cable, reducing cabling costs and enabling placement in areas without direct power outlets. The built-in management port supports out-of-band configuration, while the USB port allows for future expansions such as additional radios or sensors.
