Cisco Aironet 1700 Series Access Point

Product Overview

If you operate a small or medium-sized enterprise network, deploy the Cisco®Aironet® 1700 Access Point for the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology at an attractive price. The Aironet 1700 Series meets the growing requirements of wireless networks by delivering better performance than 802.11n and providing key RF management features for improved wireless experiences.

The 1700 series supports 802.11ac Wave 1 standard capabilities. That includes a theoretical connection rate of up to 867 Mbps. The added throughput lets you stay ahead of growing bandwidth requirements as:

●   More wireless clients associate with the network

●   Users tap into bandwidth-heavy multimedia applications

●   Mobile workers increasingly use multiple Wi-Fi devices

Features and Benefits

Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence, the 1700 Series APs run on a purpose-built, innovative chipset with a best-in-class RF architecture. The 1700 is a component of Cisco’s series of flagship, 802.11ac-enabled Aironet Series Access Points that deliver robust mobility experiences.

Table 1. describes several of the 1700 AP features and benefits.

Feature

Description/Benefit(s)

802.11ac Wave 1 support with 3x3 MIMO and two spatial streams

Delivers higher rates over a greater range for more capacity and reliability than competing APs. Provides bandwidth up to three times more than 802.11n networks

Cisco CleanAir® Express Spectrum Intelligence

Detects RF interference and provides basic spectrum analysis capabilities while simplifying ongoing operations across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz-wide channels

Optimized AP Roaming

Directs client devices to associate with the AP in their coverage range offering the fastest data rate available

Multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) equalization

Boosts uplink performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade
