The Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Access Points target customers requiring support for mission-critical and
best in class applications. The 2800/3800 embodies ClientLink 4.0, an innovative antenna technology comprising
four transmit radios and four receive radios called 4x4 in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)
configuration and supporting three spatial streams (3SS), together referenced as 4x4:3. Using this type of
antenna system along with additional Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) rates supporting up to 256 QAM
and up to 160 MHz channel bonding, rates of up to 5 Gbps can be supported.
