FAQ
What Wi-Fi standard does the Cisco Aironet 3702E support?
The Cisco Aironet 3702E supports the IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, which provides high-speed wireless connectivity with improved efficiency and performance compared to older standards like 802.11n. This standard enables faster data rates, better handling of multiple devices, and enhanced reliability in dense network environments.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the Cisco Aironet 3702E does not support Power over Ethernet. It requires a separate power source for operation, as indicated by the PoE (RJ-45) Port specification being 'No'. This means you will need to provide external power through an AC adapter or similar power supply when deploying this access point.
What are the frequency bands available on this access point?
This access point operates on dual frequency bands: 5 GHz and 2.40 GHz. The 5 GHz band offers higher speeds and less interference, ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications, while the 2.40 GHz band provides broader coverage and better penetration through walls, suitable for general connectivity across a wider area.
How is the Cisco Aironet 3702E typically mounted?
The Cisco Aironet 3702E is designed for ceiling mounting, with a form factor specified as 'Ceiling Mountable'. Its compact dimensions and low-profile design allow it to be installed discreetly in ceiling tiles, making it ideal for offices, schools, and other indoor environments where overhead placement minimizes obstruction and maximizes coverage.
What is the maximum wireless transmission speed of this access point?
The maximum wireless transmission speed is 1.30 Gbit/s (gigabits per second). This speed is achieved under optimal conditions using the IEEE 802.11ac standard, supporting fast data transfers for activities like video streaming, large file downloads, and real-time collaboration without significant latency.
Does this access point include MIMO and beamforming technologies?
Yes, the Cisco Aironet 3702E includes both MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) and beamforming technologies. MIMO improves data throughput by using multiple antennas to transmit and receive data streams simultaneously, while beamforming directs Wi-Fi signals toward connected devices, enhancing signal strength and reducing interference for more reliable coverage.
