Overview:
Gigabit Wi-Fi Has Fully Arrived: Redesign your enterprise wireless LAN to support the explosion of mobile devices. Cisco has developed an enterprise access point that supports the latest Wi-Fi technology (802.11ac Wave 2). Designed for small and medium networks, the Aironet 1850 Series provides the performance you need for ongoing proliferation of 802.11ac Wave 2 as well as legacy Wi-Fi device support.
Ideal for small and medium-sized networks, the Cisco® Aironet® 1850 Series delivers industry-leading performance for enterprise and service provider markets via enterprise-class 4x4 MIMO, four-spatial-stream access points that support the IEEE’s new 802.11ac Wave 2 specification. The Aironet 1850 Series extends support to a new generation of Wi-Fi clients, such as smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops that have integrated 802.11ac Wave 1 or Wave 2 support.
Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Access Points deliver industry-leading performance. They support the new generation of Wi-Fi clients, as well as prior generations of 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi clients. Examples include smartphones, tablets, and laptops that include integrated 802.11ac Wave 1 or Wave 2 support.
Features and Capabilities
Flexible deployment modes.
- Controller-based deployments support small and medium networks
- Integrated and external antenna models are available for various deployment environments
- For solutions of up 25 access points, Cisco Mobility Express Solution provides an easy to set up solution that does not require a controller appliance
Better Wi-Fi coverage and performance with the latest Wi-Fi technology.
- Supports 802.11ac Wave 2 (dual radio, 80 MHz channel size) and 4X4 MIMO
Improved client performance with multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO).
- Get MU-MIMO with three spatial streams for 802.11ac Wave 2 clients
- Transmit beamforming for a better client experience
Fast offload to a wired network.
- The 1850 Series provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports to support Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
Features:
With 802.11ac Wave 2, the Aironet 1850 Series provides a data rate of up to 1.7 Gbps on the 5-GHz radio, more than triple the rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11n access points. It also enables a total aggregate dual-radio data rate of 2.0 Gbps, providing the necessary foundation for enterprise and service provider networks to stay ahead of the performance and bandwidth expectations and needs of their wireless users.
Due to its convenience, wireless access is increasingly the preferred form of network connectivity for corporate users. Along with this shift, there is an expectation that wireless should not slow down users’ day-to-day work, but should enable a high-performance experience while allowing users to move freely. The 1850 Series delivers industry-leading performance for highly secure and reliable wireless connections and provides a robust mobility experience that includes:
- 802.11ac Wave 2 with 4x4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology with four spatial streams when operating in single-user MIMO mode and three spatial streams while operating in multiuser MIMO mode, offering 1.7-Gbps rates for more capacity and reliability than competing access points.
- Multiuser MIMO, allowing transmission of data to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2 capable clients simultaneously to improve client experience. Prior to multiuser MIMO, 802.11n and 802.11ac Wave 1 access points could transmit data to only one client at a time, typically referred to as single-user MIMO.
- Flexible deployment mode through the Cisco Mobility Express Solution is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments that that require 25 or fewer access points. Easy setup allows the 1850 Series to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.
All of these features help ensure the best possible end-user experience on the wireless network. Cisco also offers the industry’s broadest selection of 802.11n and 802.11ac antennas, delivering optimal coverage for a variety of deployment scenarios.
