Cisco Aironet 3500p Access PointCisco® Aironet® 3500p Access Points are the newest members of the 3500 Series with Cisco CleanAir technology - the industry’s first system to create a self-healing, self-optimizing 802.11n wireless network.
High-Density DeploymentsThe RF spectrum is limited, with mobile users demanding an increasing amount of capacity for video and other high-bandwidth applications. In environments such as stadiums and arenas, providing consistent and reliable Wi-Fi access can be challenging, especially as more mobile devices are packed into a confined area and high or nonexistent ceilings for access point installation. The 3500p is designed with custom configuration settings and narrowbandwidth, high-gain external antennas to provide targeted coverage for high-density deployments. This special system of directional antennas and power settings allow an organization to deploy more access points closer together, enabling more capacity, lower co-channel interference, and a better user experience. Because of the unique antenna and power settings, FCC regulations require the Cisco Aironet 3500p Access Point to be installed by a certified professional.
RF ExcellenceBuilding on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence, the 3500p model delivers industry-leading performance for secure and reliable wireless connections. Enterprise-class chipsets and optimized radios deliver a robust mobility experience using Cisco M-Drive technology, which includes:
- Cisco CleanAir technology to intelligently detect and mitigate RF interference for high-performance 802.11n;
- Cisco ClientLink technology to improve reliability and coverage for legacy clients;
- Cisco BandSelect technology to improve 5-GHz client connections in mixed-client environments;
- Cisco VideoStream technology, which uses multicast to improve rich-media applications.
ScalabilityThe Cisco Aironet 3500p Access Point is a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, which can scale up to 18,000 access points with full Layer 3 mobility across central or remote locations on the enterprise campus, in branch offices, and at remote sites. The Cisco Unified Wireless Network is the industry’s most flexible, resilient, and scalable wireless network architecture, delivering secure access to mobility services and applications and offering the lowest total cost of ownership and investment protection by integrating seamlessly with the existing wired network.
