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.
RF Excellence
Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence,
the 3500 Series delivers industry-leading performance for
secure and reliable
