Cisco Aironet 1850 AIR-AP1852I-E-K9 Access Point

Gigabit Wi-Fi has fully arrived

Redesign your enterprise wireless LAN to support the rapid increase of mobile devices. Cisco has developed an enterprise access point that supports 802.11ac Wave 2, the latest Wi-Fi technology. Designed for small and medium-sized networks, the1850 Series delivers the performance you need for the ongoing proliferation of Wave 2 as well as support for older Wi-Fi devices.

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.
Transmit beamforming technology to improve downlink performance to mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac, while improving battery life on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Flexible deployment mode through the Cisco Mobility Express Solution is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments that require multiple access points. Easy setup allows the 1850 Series to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.
All of these features help ensures 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.

Features and capabilities

Enterprise-class features

The 1850 models allow small networks to have the same Cisco features and functions as enterprise-class systems without breaking the budget.

Support for the latest Wi-Fi standards

The 1850 Series supports 802.11ac Wave 2 standards for high-density networks. You get higher performance, much higher speeds, and more bandwidth.

High performance for many client devices

The 1850 Series supports multiple-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO). Multiple data streams can travel from the access point to Wave 2-supported devices. The devices connect all at once and get information fast.

Better wireless experience for Apple devices

Get seamless roaming, a fast lane for business applications, and faster troubleshooting when your Apple mobile devices pair with Cisco technology.

Flexible deployment modes

The 1850 Series supports both a controller-based solution for large networks and a virtual-controller-based solution such as Cisco Mobility Express Solution, which is perfect for any small to medium-sized network.
