AIR-AP1815M-H-K9C

Feature

Benefit

Higher Tx power

With more than 3 dB (twice the transmit power) than the 1815i, the 1815m can penetrate walls and doors, making it ideal for deployment in hotels, dorm rooms, or other dense building locations.

MU-MIMO

Multiuser (MU) multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO) allows simultaneous data transmission of data to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2–capable clients to improve the client experience. Prior to MU-MIMO, 802.11n and 802.11ac Wave 1 access points could transmit data to only one client at a time. This transmission was typically referred to as single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO).

Cisco Mobility Express Solution

Flexible deployment mode through the Mobility Express Solution is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments that require 50 or fewer access points. Easy setup allows deployment of the 1815m Series on networks without a physical controller.
