Ideal for small and medium-sized networks, the Cisco® Aironet® 1815i Access Point brings a full slate of Cisco high-performance functionality to the enterprise environment.

Features

MU-MIMO: Multiuser (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) allows transmission of data to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2–capable clients simultaneously to improve the client experience. Prior to MU-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 (SU‑MIMO). 802.11ac Wave 2 with 2x2:2 MIMO technology uses two spatial streams when operating in SU-MIMO or MU-MIMO mode, offering 867-Mbps rates for more capacity and reliability than competing access points.

Cisco Mobility Express solution: Flexible deployment through the Mobility Express solution is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments. Easy setup allows the 1815i to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.

Integrated Bluetooth 4.1: Integrated Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) 4.1 radio for location and asset tracking (future availability).

Increased wireless performance:
The 1815i access point supports the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standard for higher performance, greater access, and higher-density networks. With simultaneous dual radios and dual band with 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO functionality, this access point can handle the increasing number of high-bandwidth devices that will soon become a common part of the network.

Wired access: The 1815i allows wired access via a single RJ-45 10/100/1000 auto-detection port. It supports full operation modes using PoE 802.3af power.

Mounting: These sleek access points with a small form factor are designed with flexible mounting options in mind. You can mount them directly on the ceiling or a wall. They are also easy to install.
