802.11ac Performance for Small, Medium Networks

The Cisco® Aironet® 2700 Series of Wi-Fi access points (APs) delivers industry-leading 802.11ac performance at a price point ideal for plugging capacity and coverage gaps in dense indoor environments. The Aironet 2700 Series extends 802.11ac speed and features to a new generation of smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops now shipping with the faster, 802.11ac Wi-Fi radios.

The Aironet 2700 series supports 802.11ac “Wave 1” In its first implementation, providing a theoretical connection rate of up to 1.3 Gbps. That’s roughly triple the rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11n APs. The boost helps you stay ahead of the performance and bandwidth expectations of today’s mobile worker, who usually uses multiple Wi-Fi devices instead of just one. As such, users are adding proportionally larger traffic loads to the wireless LAN, which has outpaced Ethernet as the default enterprise access network.

The Cisco Aironet 2700 Series Access Point with 802.11ac takes advantage of the speed and function of the latest Wi-Fi technology. It delivers high performance to small, medium-sized, or enterprise networks. Using a purpose-built chipset with best-in-class RF architecture, the Aironet 2700 offers the right value to help customers ease into 802.11ac networking.
