Data Sheet

Cisco Aironet 1810 Series OfficeExtend Access
Points

Perfect for teleworker or micro-branch deployments, this easy-to-install series of
OfficeExtend access points provides secure wired and wireless access for
organizations with employees who work from home.

Product Overview

The Cisco® Aironet® 1810 Series OfficeExtend Access Points offer a highly secure enterprise wireless and wired
connection to the home, micro-branch, or other types of remote sites. The 1810 Series extends the corporate
network to teleworkers, mobile workers and even micro-sites. The access points connect to the home or site
broadband Internet access and establish a highly secure tunnel to the corporate network. This tunnel allows
remote employees access to data, voice, video and cloud services for a mobility experience consistent with that at
the corporate office. The 1810 Series supports highly secure access to corporate data and personal connectivity
for teleworkers’ home devices, with segmented home traffic.

Features and Benefits

The Cisco Aironet 1810 Series helps improve workforce productivity, business resiliency and work schedule
flexibility while reducing travel costs and carbon emissions. It is targeted toward commercial, enterprise and service
provider networks across all industries. The 1810 Series is appropriate for employees who need reliable and
consistent access to networked business services at home, as well as for micro-branches where two or three
remote workers require the same wired and wireless connectivity as at the corporate site.

Feature

Benefit

Dual-radio,
dual-band

Dual-radio, dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 access point provides highly secure and reliable wired and wireless connectivity to
home or remote offices. This capability provides confidence that data will be secure and allows for two separate tunnels.

802.11ac Wave
2 support

Supports the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac Wave 2 with 2x2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology and two
spatial streams when operating in single-user or multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) mode, offering 867-Mbps rates for more capacity
and reliability.

Real-time
service
extender

Extends real-time services such as voice, wireless, video and data to remote locations that have no IT staff. No longer will
geography or climate be the reason for lost work hours. Working at home is now like being at the office.

Robust security

The Aironet 1810 Series establishes a secure Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) connection between the access
point and the controller to offer remote WLAN connectivity, using the same profile as at the corporate office.

Gigabit
Ethernet ports

Three local Gigabit Ethernet ports are available to securely connect wired devices to the network. Traffic from wired devices
can be tunneled back to a wireless LAN controller. One of these ports can also provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) out to
power a device such as an IP phone.

All of these features help ensure the best possible end-user experience on the wireless network.

Prominent Feature/Differentiator/Capability

The Cisco Aironet 1810 Series OfficeExtend Access Points support the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standard for higher
performance, greater access and higher-density networks. With features such as simultaneous dual radio and
dual-band 2x2:2 with 802.11ac Wave 2 and MU-MIMO, the 1810 Series provides the perfect complement of
functionalities for a remote worker.

With advanced security, you will never have to worry about your data being compromised while remote workers
are working from a home office. A number of fortified security features separate corporate traffic from home traffic,
with added firewall protection for home traffic. In addition, up to two ports can be tunneled back to a wireless LAN
controller.

The Aironet 1810 Series allows wired access via Power over Ethernet (PoE). This feature provides wired access
with PoE out for other devices such as IP phones, security cameras, printers and copiers. In addition to standard
PoE, the access points can be powered with an AC adapter. The 1810 Series comes with three local Gigabit
Ethernet ports and one uplink Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing for a variety of connections.

The 1810 Series can be configured at the corporate office and shipped for a simple install at the remote office.
Whether it is mounted to the wall or resting on a desk, the vertical mounting optimizes wireless coverage with
integrated antennas.
