The Cisco Aironet AIR-AP2802H-x-K9 belongs to Cisco 2800 Series enterprise hardened indoor wireless access points. This configurable access point supports dual operation modes: Mobility Express autonomous standalone mode and CAPWAP lightweight controller-managed mode. It is specially engineered with hardened hardware to support extended temperature range deployment compared to standard 2802I and 2802E models.
Compliant with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 (Wi‑Fi 5) standards, it adopts flexible radio architecture, supporting classic 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz concurrent service, dual‑5 GHz high‑density operation, or dedicated wireless security monitoring mode.
Equipped with 4×4 MU‑MIMO and three spatial streams, it delivers a maximum aggregate wireless throughput up to 5.2 Gbps. The AIR‑AP2802H‑x‑K9 is fitted with four RTNC external antenna connectors, enabling installers to deploy customized omnidirectional or directional external antennas for flexible RF coverage planning.
Integrated Cisco CleanAir Spectrum Intelligence identifies, classifies and suppresses RF interference. ClientLink 4.0 optimizes connectivity for legacy Wi‑Fi clients, while transmit beamforming improves signal coverage and client throughput.
Network interfaces include two 10/100/1000BASE‑T Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, one RJ45 console management port and a software‑enabled USB 2.0 interface. Full radio performance requires IEEE 802.3at PoE+ or Cisco UPOE power supply.
It supports comprehensive enterprise security features: WPA/WPA2, AES encryption, 802.1X authentication, multiple EAP protocols, rogue AP detection and wIPS wireless intrusion prevention system.
Designed for ceiling rail and wall mounting, this hardened variant fits industrial workshops, warehouses, cold storage and non‑standard temperature indoor environments where standard office APs cannot operate reliably.
The suffix "x" in the part number represents different regional regulatory domains to meet local radio frequency compliance requirements.
