Product Details
Table 1 shows the Features and Benefits.
Feature | Benefit |
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 2×2:2 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). |
