Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Aironet 1800 Series Access Points
We deployed the Cisco 1850's across the entire organization of a client of ours. The customer was having intermittent connectivity issues and could not complete VOIP phone calls on a regular consistent basis. This was preventing work from being completed in a timeously manner and added delay to most of their projects. This problem was adding to the frustration the employees were feeling in preventing them from doing their jobs. What should be a simple process simply was not.
- Provide a Mesh wireless Network.
- Cisco Aironet WAP's provide Secure Wireless Networks.
- Great options when prioritizing VOIP QoS Traffic.
- Central Management and Deployment.
- The CME control panel is basic.
- Lacks compatibility with other Cisco Aironet Products.
- Provide an easy upgrade path from Mobility Express to a full controller.
- Increased the coverage by 80% compared to the last AP's.
- Reduced setup times by 50%.
- No SaaS costs and remain under warranty as long as there is a SMART subscription.
Cisco Aironet has it place in the modern workplace and is great for single location deployments creating a good robust affordable solution. Installing them in a plant that has exposure to environmental elements they have stood the test of time, well so far.
If you are looking for multi-location, multi-national or international deployments with a single plane of glass the Cisco Meraki MR's are a better choice, enhancing the time to deploy and ease of management.
