The Aironet 2802I-E-K9 provides wireless coverage for all connected devices in the application environment without compromising on the internet signal and coverage. It supports the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard which enables faster speeds, improved efficiency, and better handling of multiple devices. The MU-MIMO technology with three spatial streams offers a connection rate of up to 2.6 Gbps per radio – roughly double the rates. The router operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, providing flexibility and reduced interference. The Aironet 2802I-E-K9 Wi-Fi Access Point offers advanced security measures and management, enabling the protection of network data, unauthorised access, and users.
High-Performance Wireless
The Cisco Aironet 2802I-E-K9 Wi-Fi Access Point delivers fast, reliable, and high-capacity Wi-Fi connectivity with support for the latest Wi-Fi standards. The router supports the latest Wi-Fi standard for high-speed wireless networking with a dual-band that operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GH. The Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) works with Beamforming technology that focuses the wireless signal towards the user's devices, enhancing signal strength and performance. The MIMO features three spatial streams for receiving and four spatial streams for transmitting to enhance the wireless network’s performance and efficiency.


Comprehensive Security
Built with comprehensive security features, the Cisco Aironet 2802I-E-K9 Wi-Fi Access Point protects network data, unauthorised access, and users. Integrated with Cisco CleanAir technology that helps detect and mitigate Wi-Fi interference, the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) provides robust authentication and policy enforcement.
Optimised for High-Density Environments
Designed to handle high user density and deliver consistent performance, the Cisco Aironet 2802I-E-K9 Wi-Fi Access Point distributes client connections efficiently across multiple access points. With its rugged enclosure, the router is suitable for deployment in challenging environments with higher durability requirements.
