The Cisco Aironet AIR-LAP3502P-x-K9 belongs to Cisco Aironet 3500 Series legacy lightweight CAPWAP access points. It requires centralized management by a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller anddoes not support autonomous standalone operation.
Compliant with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards, the AP operates simultaneous dual-band transmission over 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. It adopts a 2×3 MIMO architecture with two spatial streams, supporting a maximum aggregate wireless throughput up to 300 Mbps.
Distinguished from 3502E and 3502I variants, the AIR-LAP3502P-x-K9 is equipped withsix RTNC external antenna connectors. It enables flexible separation of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas, allowing installers to deploy dedicated directional or omnidirectional antennas for precise RF coverage shaping in complex enterprise environments.
It incorporates Cisco CleanAir Spectrum Intelligence technology to detect, classify, locate and mitigate non-Wi-Fi radio interference for stable wireless operation. Cisco ClientLink optimizes connection quality for legacy Wi-Fi terminals.
Hardware interfaces include one 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port and one RJ45 console management port. The access point works with IEEE 802.3af PoE power supply, PoE+ is not mandatory.
Comprehensive enterprise security suites are supported, including WPA/WPA2, AES, TKIP, 802.1X authentication and multiple EAP protocols. It supports standard ceiling rail mounting and wall mounting brackets, widely deployed in offices, campuses and medium-density indoor wireless scenarios.
The suffix "x" in the part number represents different regional regulatory domains to comply with local radio spectrum regulations.
