Cisco Aironet 1700 Series Access Points
Product Overview
If you operate a small or medium-sized enterprise network, deploy
the Cisco® Aironet® 1700 Series Access Point for the latest 802.11ac
Wi-Fi technology at an attractive price. The 1700 Series meets the
growing requirements of wireless networks by delivering better
performance than 802.11n and providing key RF management
features for improved wireless experiences.
The 1700 Series supports 802.11ac Wave 1 standard capabilities.
That includes a theoretical connection rate of up to 867 Mbps.
The added throughput lets you stay ahead of growing bandwidth
requirements as:
●
More wireless clients associate with the network
●
Users tap into bandwidth-heavy multimedia applications
●
Mobile workers increasingly use multiple Wi-Fi devices
Features and Benefits
Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence, the 1700 Series access points run on a purpose-built,
innovative chipset with a best-in-class RF architecture. The 1700 Series is a component of Cisco’s flagship,
802.11ac-enabled Aironet access points that deliver robust mobility experiences.
