Aironet 3800 Series Enterprise Wi-Fi 5 Access Point

Product Description

The Cisco AIR-AP3802I-A-K9 from Cisco is a high-performance indoor enterprise wireless access point from the Aironet 3800 Series, designed to deliver reliable, high-capacity Wi-Fi connectivity in dense indoor environments.

It supports 802.11ac Wave 2 dual-band wireless with advanced 4×4 MU-MIMO, enabling simultaneous communication with multiple devices to improve throughput and efficiency in busy enterprise networks.

Unlike the external-antenna variant, this model features integrated internal antennas, providing a clean ceiling-mounted design ideal for offices, hospitals, education campuses, and retail environments where aesthetics and simplicity matter.

With multigigabit Ethernet support, PoE+ power capability, and Cisco’s intelligent RF optimization technologies, the AIR-AP3802I-A-K9 is engineered for scalable enterprise WLAN deployments requiring performance, reliability, and centralized management.
