AIR-CAP1702I-A-K9 Cisco Aironet 1702i Access Point

The AIR-CAP1702I-A-K9 is a Cisco Aironet 1702i access point, a controller-based model of the Cisco Aironet 1700 Series with simultaneous dual-band radios and integrated antennas. The letter A in the model number is the regulatory domain, one of the domains the 1700 Series supports (A, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, N, Q, R, S, T and Z).

Inside are a 2.4 GHz 802.11n MIMO radio and a 5 GHz 802.11ac MIMO radio, each 3 transmit by 3 receive with 2 spatial streams. Throughput and filtering performance scale to 2 spatial streams and 1.3 Gbps data speeds. The 1702i uses dual-band inverted-F antennas, one at each corner of the top housing, each covering both bands. The access point has 64 MB of flash and supports CleanAir, VideoStream, location, WIDS/WIPS, Radio Resource Management, rogue detection and Management Frame Protection, plus Cisco Vector Beamforming.

Power can come from 802.3af (15.4 W) Power over Ethernet, from the Cisco AIR-PWR-B external power supply, or from the AIR-PWRINJ5 power injector. The primary Ethernet port needs a Gigabit Ethernet link, as wireless traffic speeds exceed those of a 10/100 port; the auxiliary Ethernet port is disabled. Other ports are an RS232 console port, a DC power port and a Kensington lock slot. The access point mounts below a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, above a suspended ceiling, or on a desk.

It joins a wireless controller over CAPWAP, such as the AIR-CT5508-50-K9 5508 wireless controller. A related dual-band access point is the AIR-CAP2702I-E-K9 2702i access point. More access points are in Cisco wireless.
