Ideal for small and medium-sized networks, the Cisco® Aironet® 1830 Series delivers industry-leading wireless
performance with support for the latest Wi-Fi standard, IEEE’s new 802.11ac Wave 2 specification, and meets
the growing requirements of wireless networks by delivering a better user experience. The 1830 Series extends
support to a new generation of Wi-Fi clients, such as smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops that
have integrated 802.11ac Wave 1 or Wave 2 support.
Features and benefits
With 802.11ac Wave 2, the 1830 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 a total aggregate dual-radio
data rate of up to 1 Gbps, providing the necessary foundation for enterprise and service provider networks to
stay ahead of the performance and bandwidth expectations and needs of their wireless users.
Due to its convenience, wireless access is increasingly the preferred form of network connectivity for corporate
users. Along with this shift, there is an expectation that wireless should not slow down users’ day-to-day work,
but should enable a high-performance experience while allowing users to move freely. The 1830 Series
delivers industry-leading performance for highly secure and reliable wireless connections and provides a robust
mobility experience that includes:
●
802.11ac Wave 2 with 3x3 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (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.
●
Multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) allows transmission of data to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2 capable clients
simultaneously to improve 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.
●
Transmit beamforming technology improves downlink performance to mobile devices, including oneand two-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac, while improving battery life on mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablets.
●
Flexible deployment mode through the Mobility Express Solution is ideal for small to medium-sized
deployments that require multiple access points. Easy setup allows the 1830 Series to be deployed on
networks without a physical controller.

Security for remote workers or the micro-office. Any Cisco Aironet or Catalyst access point can function
as an OfficeExtend access point (OEAP). With an OEAP, an employee at home or in a temporary microoffice will have access to the corporate SSID and the corporate network without the need to set up a
VPN or have any advanced technical know-how.
●
Cisco User Defined Network, a feature available in Cisco DNA Center that allows IT to give end users
control of their very own wireless network partition on a shared network. End-users can then remotely
and securely deploy their devices on this network. Perfect for university dormitories or extended hospital
stays, Cisco User Defined Network grants both device security and control, allowing each user to choose
who can connect to their network. (Available second half of calendar year 2020.)
●
The Wi-Fi 6 readiness dashboard, a new dashboard in the Assurance menu of Cisco DNA Center. It will
look through the inventory of all devices on the network and verify device, software, and client
compatibility with the new Wi-Fi 6 standard. After upgrading, advanced wireless analytics will indicate
performance and capacity gains as a result of the Wi-Fi 6 deployment. This is an incredible tool that will
help your team define where and how the wireless network should be upgraded. It will also give you
insights into the access point distribution by protocol (802.11 ac/n/abg), wireless airtime efficiency by
protocol, and granular performance metrics.
All of these features help ensure the best possible end-user experience on the wireless network.

Licensing
In order to connect any access points to the controller, Cisco DNA software subscriptions are required. To be
entitled to connect to a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, the access point requires a Cisco DNA
subscription license.
Determining license requirements for access points connecting to Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers
Access points connecting to a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series controller have new and simplified software
subscription packages. They can support three tiers of Cisco DNA software: Cisco DNA Essentials, Cisco DNA
Advantage or Cisco DNA Premier.
Cisco DNA software subscriptions provide Cisco innovations on the access point. They also include perpetual
Network Essentials and Network Advantage licensing options, which cover wireless fundamentals such as
802.1X authentication, Quality of Service (QoS), and Plug and Play (PnP); telemetry and visibility and Single
Sign-On (SSO), as well as security controls.
Cisco DNA subscription software has to be purchased for a 3-, 5-, or 7-year subscription term. If not renewed
by the end of the term, Cisco DNA features will expire, whereas Network Essentials and Network Advantage
features will remain.
For the full feature list of Cisco DNA Software, including the perpetual Network Essentials and Network
Advantage, please see the feature matrix: https://www.cisco.com/c/m/en_us/products/software/dna-
Smart Licensing (SL) simplifies and adds flexibility to licensing. It is:
◦ Simple: Procure, deploy, and manage licenses easily. Devices self-register, removing the need for
Product Activation Keys (PAKs).
◦ Flexible: Pool license entitlements in a single account. Move licenses freely through the network,
wherever you need them.
◦ Smart: Manage your license deployments with real-time visibility into ownership and consumption.
●
Specific License Reservation (SLR) is a feature used in highly secure networks. It provides a method for
customers to deploy a software license on a device (product instance) without communicating usage
information to Cisco. There is no communication with Cisco or a satellite. The licenses are reserved for
every controller. It is node-based licensing.
Four levels of license are supported on the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers. The controllers
can be configured to function at any one of the four levels.
●
Cisco DNA Essentials: At this level the Cisco DNA Essentials feature set will be supported.
●
Cisco DNA Advantage: At this level the Cisco DNA Advantage feature set will be supported.
●
NE: At this level the Network Essentials feature set will be supported.
●
NA: At this level the Network Advantage feature set will be supported.
Cisco DNA Premier is a bundle with ISE licenses and Cisco DNA Spaces Extend. It is inclusive of Cisco DNA
Advantage, so at this level the Cisco DNA Advantage feature set will be supported. For customers who
purchase Cisco DNA Essentials, Network Essentials will be supported and will continue to function even after
term expiration. And for customers who purchase Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco DNA Premier, Network
Advantage will be supported and will continue to function even after term expiration.
Initial bootup of the controller will be at the Cisco DNA Advantage level.
