Product Overview

The AP3805 is a feature rich 802.11ac and 802.11abgn indoor access point that
delivers enterprise-grade performance and security without the premium cost.

Designed to blend into the oce, classroom or hotel environment, the AP3805 is
ideal for providing secure 802.11ac and 802.11abgn connectivity for medium-density

environments such as schools, hotels and conference centers.

The AP3805i comes with an integrated four antenna array for ease of installation.
The AP3805e requires professional installation and includes four RP-SMA
antenna connectors supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band antennas. AP3805

uses 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) without reducing its performance nor
degrading its enterprise-grade capabilities. An optional external power supply is
available for deployments that do not support Power over Ethernet.

The AP3805 is built on the latest Wi-Fi technology including 802.11ac, dynamic

radio management, and spectrum analysis with interference classification, beam

forming, self-forming and self-healing meshing, security, role-based authentication,
authorization, and access control. The 2x2:2 platform is capable of delivering up to

1.17Gbps over-the-air-performance and up to 40,000 packets per second on the
wire port. The AP3805 comes with brackets to be installed on to most drop ceiling
and wall mounts. Multiple antenna oerings (e.g., omni, sector, and panel) ensure

that the AP3805e deployment can be optimized to meet any unique coverage or
capacity need.
