The Cisco Aironet 1852E Access Point, model AIR-AP1852E-C-K9C, represents a smart investment for small and medium-sized businesses looking to upgrade their wireless network infrastructure. With the shift towards mobile-first environments, enterprises need a wireless network that can support a higher density of mobile devices and demanding applications. The 802.11ac Wave 2 standard introduces MU-MIMO technology, which allows multiple clients to receive data simultaneously, increasing overall throughput and improving the user experience.
Additionally, this access point supports 4×4 MIMO with four spatial streams, enhancing signal reliability and range. It can handle PHY data rates up to 1.7 Gbps, providing fast connections for bandwidth-heavy tasks. The Cisco Mobility Express feature on this model simplifies deployment and management, making it accessible for businesses without a dedicated IT staff.
Furthermore, the access point’s compatibility with Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows for a clean and straightforward installation without the need for additional power supplies, reducing overhead costs. External antenna support ensures optimized coverage, allowing for greater flexibility and boosted signal strength where you need it.
The ‘C’ regulatory domain model ensures compliance with regional transmission power standards and frequencies, minimizing interference with other devices and adhering to legal requirements. Also, being part of the Aironet 1850 series, AIR-AP1852E-C-K9C offers scalability within the Cisco ecosystem. As your business grows, these access points can work in unison with a full range of Cisco wireless solutions, providing a cohesive and expandable networking foundation.
Investing in the AIR-AP1852E-C-K9C means acquiring a future-proof network component that ensures connectivity needs are met both today and tomorrow, enhancing productivity and supporting the ever-growing number of wireless devices in the corporate environment.
AIR-AP1852E-C-K9C is one of the Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Access Points. Cisco 1850 AP series is ideal for small and medium-sized networks. This series supports enterprise-class 4×4 MIMO, four-spatial-stream access points that support the IEEE’s new 802.11ac Wave 2 specification. The 1850 Series extends support to a new generation of Wi-Fi clients, such as smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops that have integrated 802.11ac Wave 2 support. The model AIR-AP1852E-C-K9C provides C Regulatory Domain and External antennas. Model number ending in C is, by default, factory-shipped with a Cisco Mobility Express software image.
