AIR-CAP3502E-A-K9 Cisco Aironet 3502E Dual-Band Access Point

The AIR-CAP3502E-A-K9 is the Cisco Aironet 3502E access point in the A regulatory domain: a dual-band, controller-based 802.11a/g/n model from the Aironet 3500e series, the model for demanding indoor environments with external antennas sold separately. Cisco CleanAir technology is part of the Aironet 3500 series.

The radios support 802.11n version 2.0 with 2x3 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and two spatial streams, maximal ratio combining, legacy beamforming and 20 and 40 MHz channels, with PHY speeds up to 300 Mbps. Supported standards are IEEE 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n 2.0, 802.11h and 802.11d.

The wired side is one 10/100/1000BASE-T autosensing RJ-45 port plus an RJ-45 management console port. Power comes from an 802.3af Ethernet switch at 44 to 57 VDC, and the power draw is 12.95 W. The access point measures 8.7 x 8.7 x 1.84 in. (22.1 x 22.1 x 4.7 cm) without the mounting bracket and weighs 2.3 lb (1.04 kg).

It runs as a controller-based access point and needs Cisco Unified Wireless Network software release 7.0 or later; autonomous IOS is not supported. Another controller-based Cisco access point is the AIR-CAP2702I-E-K9 dual-band access point, and more access points are in Cisco wireless.
