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.

802.11ac Wave 2 with 2x2 MIMO technology with two spatial streams when operating in single-user or multiuser
MIMO mode, offering 867-Mbps rates for more capacity and reliability than competing access points.

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 (for compatible controllers) or be locally switched by the
access point. One of these Ethernet ports can also provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) out to power a device such
as an IP phone or a security camera.

Integrated Bluetooth 4.1

Integrated Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) 4.1 radio for location and asset tracking (future availability).

Multiple mounting and

Multiple mounting options to standard junction boxes. You can vertically mount the access point directly on a wall or

Cisco Aironet 1810W Series Access Points

With their sleek design and small form factor, the Cisco Aironet 1810W Series Access
Points bring a full slate of Cisco high-performance functionality to multi-dwelling-unit
deployments.

Product Overview

The Cisco® Aironet® 1810W Series Access Points offer a compact, wall plate–mountable access point, ideal for
hospitality, cruise ships, residential halls or other multi-dwelling-unit deployments. The Aironet 1810W Series
combines Gigabit Ethernet wired and 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless connectivity into a sleek device, built to take
advantage of existing cabling infrastructure. This combination reduces total cost of ownership with no compromise
to the end user.

Features and Benefits

With 802.11ac Wave 2, the 1810W Series provides a data rate of up to 867 Mbps on the 5-GHz radio, exceeding
the data rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11n access points. It also enables wired devices to connect to the
network without the need for additional investments in cabling infrastructure.

The 1810W Series delivers industry-leading performance for highly secure and reliable wired or wireless
connections and provides a robust mobility experience. Table 1 lists the features and benefits of these access
points.

Prominent Feature/Differentiator/Capability

The Aironet 1810W Series Access Points support the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 standard for higher performance,
greater access and higher-density networks. With simultaneous dual radios and dual band with 802.11ac Wave 2
MU-MIMO, this access point can handle the increasing number of high-bandwidth devices that will soon become a
normal part of the network.

The 1810W 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 point can be powered with an AC adapter. The 1810W Series comes with three local Gigabit Ethernet
ports, one uplink Gigabit Ethernet port and one passive pass-through RJ-45 port, allowing for a variety of
connections.

These sleek access points with a small form factor are designed with flexible mounting options in mind. You can
mount them directly on the wall or to numerous global wall junction standards or have them desk mounted. They
are also easy to install.
