Cisco® Aironet® 3500 Series Access Points with Cisco CleanAir technology are the industry’s first

access points to create a self-healing, self-optimizing

wireless network. CleanAir technology is a systemwide feature of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network that improves air quality by detecting RF interference that other systems can’t recognize, identifying the source, locating it on a map, and then making automatic adjustments to optimize wireless coverage. These innovative access points provide the highest-performance

802.11n connectivity for mission-critical intelligently avoiding interference, the 3500 Series offers performance protection for 802.11n networks to help ensure reliable application delivery.
