Cisco-Aironet AIR-AP2802I-H-K9
The Cisco Aironet AIR-AP2802I-H-K9 is an enterprise indoor 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless access point with integrated antennas, designed for high-density corporate, education, healthcare, hospitality, and branch-office WLAN deployments. It provides 4×4 MIMO with three spatial streams, dual Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, Cisco CleanAir technology, and controller-based wireless management.
Description
The Cisco Aironet AIR-AP2802I-H-K9 belongs to the Cisco Aironet 2800 Series, an enterprise wireless platform designed to provide high-performance and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity in demanding indoor environments.
The access point uses 802.11ac Wave 2 technology and supports 4×4 MIMO with three spatial streams, providing a maximum PHY data rate of up to 5.2 Gbps under supported channel configurations. Cisco designed the 2800 Series to support high-density wireless environments and demanding client applications.
The 2802I model uses integrated internal antennas, making it suitable for standard indoor ceiling and wall installations where a clean and unobtrusive wireless deployment is preferred. The H suffix identifies the H regulatory domain, so regional radio-frequency and channel availability must be verified for the intended country of deployment.
The access point features a dedicated 5 GHz radio and a flexible radio that can operate at 2.4 GHz or as an additional 5 GHz radio. This architecture provides flexibility for high-density deployments and allows organizations to optimize radio operation according to their wireless environment.
Cisco’s CleanAir technology helps identify and mitigate sources of radio-frequency interference, while features such as ClientLink, beamforming, MIMO equalization, and advanced RF management help improve wireless reliability and client performance.
The AIR-AP2802I-H-K9 provides two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, allowing flexible wired connectivity and supporting high-throughput network integration. It is designed as a controller-based access point, operating as part of a Cisco wireless LAN architecture.
