Cisco® Aironet® 3500 Series Access Points with Cisco CleanAir technology are the industry’s first 802.11n 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 mobility. By 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 wireless connections. Enterprise-class silicon and optimized radios deliver a robust mobility experience using Cisco M-Drive technology, which includes:
●ClientLink improves reliability and coverage for legacy clients
●BandSelect improves 5-GHz client connections in mixed client environments
●VideoStream uses multicast to improve rich-media applications
All of these features help ensure the best possible end-user experience on the wireless network
