The Cisco Aironet AIR-AP2802E-x-K9 is part of the Cisco 2800 Series enterprise indoor wireless access points. This configurable access point supports two operating modes: Mobility Express autonomous standalone mode and CAPWAP lightweight controller-managed mode.
It complies with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) standards and features a flexible radio architecture, supporting traditional 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz concurrent operation or dual 5 GHz high-density deployment mode.
Built with 4×4 MU-MIMO and three spatial streams, it delivers a maximum aggregate wireless throughput of up to 5.2 Gbps. The AIR-AP2802E-x-K9 is equipped with four RTNC external antenna connectors, allowing integrators to deploy custom omnidirectional or directional antennas to tailor RF coverage for complex indoor environments.
Integrated Cisco CleanAir Spectrum Intelligence identifies, classifies and mitigates radio frequency interference. ClientLink 4.0 optimizes connectivity performance for legacy wireless clients, while transmit beamforming enhances signal efficiency and coverage range.
The access point features two 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports and one RJ45 console management port. Full performance requires IEEE 802.3at PoE+ or Cisco UPOE power supply.
It supports complete enterprise-grade security features including WPA/WPA2, AES encryption, 802.1X authentication, various EAP protocols, rogue access point detection and wIPS wireless intrusion prevention system.
It supports standard ceiling rail mounting and wall mounting, ideal for corporate offices, schools, hotels, shopping malls and high-density indoor Wi-Fi deployments.
The suffix "x" in the part number denotes different regulatory domains to meet local radio frequency compliance regulations.
