• MU-MIMO technology for uplink and downlink.
• OFDMA-based scheduling for both uplink and downlink.
• Multigigabit Ethernet (mGig)
• The following hardware external interfaces:
• 1x100/1000/2500 Multigigabit Ethernet (PD or PoE-IN)
• 1xSFP port (Uplink)
• 1x1G Ethernet port (PSE or PoE-Out)
• RS-232 Console Interface through RJ-45
• Recovery push button (enables partial or full system configuration recovery)
• One multicolor LED status indicator. For information about the colors of the LED status indicator,
see Checking the Access Point LEDs, on page 62.
• Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio enables IoT use cases such as location tracking and
wayfinding.
• Cisco RF ASIC, a fully integrated Software Defined Radio (SDR), can perform advanced radio frequency
(RF) spectrum analysis, and deliver features such as next–generation CleanAir, Wireless Intrusion
Prevention System (WIPS), Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) detection.
• Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Center
with in-depth analysis.
• Spatial Reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) allows the AP and their clients to
differentiate between BSS, thus permitting simultaneous transmissions.
• A new power savings mode called Target Wake Time (TWT) allows clients to stay asleep and wake up
only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This mode provides significant energy
savings for battery-operated devices.
• Cisco DNA Center support enables Cisco DNA Spaces, Apple FastLane, and Cisco Identity Services
Engine (ISE).
• Optimized AP Roaming to ensure that client devices associate with the AP in their coverage range, which
offers the fastest data rate available.
• Cisco CleanAir technology enhanced with 160–MHz channel support. CleanAir delivers proactive,
high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20, 40, 80, and 160-MHz-wide channels to combat performance
issues from wireless interference.
The AP also supports the following operational modes:
• Local mode: This is the default mode for the AP. In this mode, the AP serves clients. In Local mode, the
AP creates two CAPWAP tunnels to the controller, one for management and the other for data traffic.
This is known as central switching because the data traffic is switched (bridged) from the AP to the
controller.
• FlexConnect mode: In FlexConnect mode, the data traffic is switched locally and is not sent to the
controller. In this mode, the AP behaves like an autonomous AP, but is managed by the controller. Here,
the AP continues to function even if the connection to the controller is lost.
