Product Overview
If you operate a small or medium-sized enterprise network, deploy
the Cisco
®
Aironet
®
1700 Access Point for the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi
technology at an attractive price. The Aironet 1700 Series meets the
growing requirements of wireless networks by delivering better
performance than 802.11n and providing key RF management
features for improved wireless experiences.
The 1700 series supports 802.11ac Wave 1 standard capabilities.
That includes a theoretical connection rate of up to 867 Mbps. The
added throughput lets you stay ahead of growing bandwidth
requirements as:
More wireless clients associate with the network
Users tap into bandwidth-heavy multimedia applications
Mobile workers increasingly use multiple Wi-Fi devices
