Packed with the hallmark features and capabilities that have solidified Cisco’s position as an industry leader, the Cisco Aironet2800i Dubai is attractively priced, making it an optimal choice for managing wireless expansion, capacity, and coverage limitations within densely populated indoor environments.
Through the use of this Cisco WiFi system in Dubai, you can establish secure connections for remote workers and micro-offices. Any Cisco Aironet or Catalyst access point can be configured as an OfficeExtend Access Point (OEAP), granting employees working from home or temporary micro-offices access to the corporate SSID and network without the necessity of setting up a VPN or possessing advanced technical expertise.
Additionally, the Cisco User Defined Network, accessible through the Cisco DNA Center, empowers IT departments to allocate end users their wireless network partition within a shared network, offering enhanced security and control over device deployment. This feature proves beneficial for scenarios such as university dormitories or extended hospital stays, providing users with the ability to determine network access permissions for connected devices.
The newly introduced Wi-Fi 6 readiness dashboard within the Assurance menu of Cisco DNA Center serves as a comprehensive tool. It examines the network’s device inventory, confirming the compatibility of devices, software, and clients with the Wi-Fi 6 standard. Following the upgrade, advanced wireless analytics provide insights into the performance and capacity enhancements resulting from the Wi-Fi 6 implementation. This invaluable dashboard aids in defining the necessary upgrades for the wireless network, offering detailed access point distribution by protocol (802.11 ac/n/abg), wireless airtime efficiency by protocol, and precise performance metrics.
Features
High-density experience
Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence, the Cisco Aironet2800i Dubai run on a purpose-built, innovative chipset with a best-in-class RF architecture. This chipset provides a high-density experience for enterprise networks designed for mission-critical, high-performance applications.
802.11ac Wave 2 support
Cisco Aironet2800i Dubai provides a theoretical connection rate of up to 2.6 Gbps per radio which roughly double the rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11ac access points.
High Density Experience (HDX)
Best-in-class RF architecture, this Cisco WiFi Dubai provides high-performance coverage for a high density of client devices, giving the end user a seamless wireless experience. HDX includes features such as custom hardware in 802.11ac Wave 2 radios, Cisco CleanAir, ClientLink 4.0, cross-access point noise reduction, and an optimized client roaming experience.
Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU‑MIMO) technology
Supporting three spatial streams, MU-MIMO enables Cisco Aironet2800i Dubai to split spatial streams between client devices, to maximize throughput.
Flexible Radio Assignment
Allows the access points to intelligently determine the operating mode of serving radios based on the RF environment. The access points can operate in the following modes:
- 4-GHz and 5-GHz mode: One radio will serve clients in 2.4-GHz mode, while the other serves clients in 5-GHz mode
- Dual 5-GHz mode: Both radios inside the access point operate on the 5-GHz band, maximizing the benefits of 802.11ac Wave 2 and increasing client device capacity.
- Security Monitoring and 5-GHz mode, one radio will serve 5-GHz clients, while the other is scanning the full spectrum for wIPS attackers, CleanAir interferers, and rogue devices.
Dual 5-GHz radio support
Cisco Aironet2800i Dubai enables both radios to operate in 5-GHz client serving mode, allowing an industry-leading 5.2 Gbps (2 x 2.6 Gbps) over-the-air speeds while increasing client capacity.
Smart antenna connector
An intelligent second physical antenna connector is included on Cisco Aironet2800i models with an external antenna. This connector provides advanced network design flexibility for high-density and large open-area environments such as auditoriums, convention centers, libraries, cafeterias, and arenas/stadiums, allowing two sets of antennas to be connected and active on a single access point.
160-MHz channel support
This Wifi Dubai supports channels up to 160 MHz wide, Dynamic Bandwidth Selection allows the access point to dynamically switch between 20-, 40-, 80-, and 160-MHz channels, depending on the RF channel conditions, providing the industry’s best-performing wireless network.
Optimized access point roaming
Helps ensure that client devices associate with the access point in their coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available.
Zero-impact Application Visibility and Control
Cisco Aironet2800i Dubai uses dedicated hardware acceleration to improve the performance of line-speed applications such as Application Visibility and Control.
Auto Link Aggregation (LAG) support
802.3ad (LACP) compliant, allowing both Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to automatically LAG, increasing overall throughput to the access point.
ClientLink 4.0
Cisco ClientLink 4.0 technology to improve downlink performance to all mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11a/b/g/n/ac while improving battery life on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
CleanAir 160 MHz
With Cisco CleanAir technology, enhanced with 160-MHz channel support, Cisco Aironet2800i Dubai provides proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, 80-, or 160-MHz-wide channels to combat performance problems due to wireless interference
Cisco Mobility Express
Flexible deployment mode through the Cisco Mobility Express Solution is ideal for medium-sized deployments and can support up to 100 access points. Easy setup allows the Cisco Aironet2800i Access Points to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.
