Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Aironet and Catalyst 2800 Series Access Points

Cisco Aironet Access Points are used widely in our organization for WiFi coverage over all our buildings to facilitate a wireless connection to our network. We were using Cisco 2700 series and now we are upgrading to Cisco 2800 series. We are using these Access Points with the Wireless LAN Controller to manage them.
  • Good performance
  • High user capacity
  • No power input ( only POE )
  • Not much power when using it with concrete building
  • Enhance mobility of users
  • Less cabling needed
  • Aruba Networks Wireless LAN (WLAN)
As our network was depending on Cisco, it was the optimum solution to complete the network with the new model on Access Points. Also the new series has great features [such] as mobility express to use in small offices.
The best scenario to use Cisco Aironet Access Points is when we use it with the Wireless LAN Controller as with this solution we get the full features of the Access Point such as roaming and AirClean features, and I think it will be a waste of money to buy this product and use it as a stand alone solution.
