Data Sheet

ExtremeWireless™ 3935 i/e
Indoor Access Point

Enterprise-Grade, Ultra-High Performance for Demanding
High-Density Deployments

Product Overview

The AP3935 is a feature rich 802.11ac (Wave 2) and 802.11abgn indoor

access point that delivers enterprise-grade performance and security.
Designed to blend into the oce, classroom or lecture hall, or large
common spaces, the AP3935 is ideal for providing secure 802.11ac and

802.11abgn connectivity for high-density, mission critical environments such
as schools, universities, hospitals, indoor arenas, and conference centers.

The AP3935i comes with an integrated eight port antenna array for

ease of installation. The AP3935e requires professional installation and
includes eight Reverse Polarity Sub-Miniature Version A (RPSMA) antenna
connectors supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band antennas. The AP3935
uses 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+) for maximum performance and
can operate within an 803.2af power budget with reduced performance.
Ethernet ports support transparent power transition (POE Hot-swap).
In case of power interruption to one of the ports the AP automatically
transitions to the other port. No reboot or state interruption. An optional
external power supply is available for deployments that do not support
Power over Ethernet.

The AP3935 is built using the latest Wi-Fi technology,

including 802.11ac Wave 2, dynamic radio management,
and spectrum analysis with interference classification,
beamforming, multi-user MIMO, self-forming and self­healing meshing, security, role-based authentication,
authorization, and access control. The 4x4:4 platform
is capable of delivering up to 2.5 Gbps over-the-air­performance and up to 90,000 packets per second on
the wire port.

Specifications

Product Feature AP3935i/e

The AP3935 can be installed directly on a flat surface or on

most drop ceilings with the included tool-less drop ceiling
bracket. Multiple antenna oerings (e.g., Omni, sector,
and panel) ensure that the AP3935e deployment can be
optimized to meet any unique coverage or capacity need.
