Why is 802.11ac important?Wi-Fi is the primary access method for all new devices accessing customer networks.

WiFi is for grantedDevice manufactures have never

included Ethernet ports on smart phones or tablets and they are no longer including

Ethernet ports in laptops.

Benefits

The latest generation of 802.11n Access Points max out at a data rate of 450 Mbps. Wave1 of 802.11ac provides a date rate of 1.3 Gbps and Wave2 11ac will offer a data rate of 3.5 Gbps.

802.11ac

802.11ac can operate at up to 3 X faster than 802.11n

802.11ac has been shown to improve battery life up to 2x over 802.11n

5 GHz band802.11ac uses the 5 GHz band, where you have more channels and less interferences

than the band used by 802.11b/g/n

New standardMost new devices coming to market like smartphones,

tablets and laptops use the 802.11ac chipsets

3X PerformancesThe wider the channel and the better the modulation the higher the data rate.

Both the AP 2700 and 3700 support Cisco HDX technology.The 2700 & 3700 supports up to 200 clients per radio. The AP 2700 is 3x4 MIMO, the AP 3700 is 4x4 MIMO.

1. Turbo Performance Improves the efficiency of airtime utilization and channel capacity

2. Optimized Roaming Intelligently determines the optimum time to roam

3. Cisco CleanAir® 80Mhz Mitigates interference and improves channel capacity

4. Cisco ClientLink 3.0 Improves legacy and 802.11ac Client performance

5. Noise Reduction Enables Dense Access Point Coexistence / implementation
