Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Aironet and Catalyst Access Points

Our organization is one of the largest automotive companies here in Pakistan. It was essential for us to implement a centrally managed, high-performance, and efficient wireless network solution for our company. [A] Cisco wireless network solution was chosen after comparing other options in the market and within the solution, Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points were finalized for deployment as they supported the latest 802.11ac wave 2 standards. These access points have been deployed all over the head office, plant, and our remote offices and are working without any hassle.

Pros

  • 11ac wave 2
  • High density user environment
  • Cisco CleanAir
  • Rogue APs detection and mitigation
  • Radio resource management

Cons

  • Reduce boot time
  • Reduce licensing cost
  • Increase antenna gain
  • Reduced overall cabling costs
  • Improved network availibilty
  • Improved network coverage
  • Increased user mobility
  • High license cost
D-Link Wireless network solution was being used previously in [a] few areas of our plant and it was working well with [a] low number of users but as the company grew, and user base started to grow we started seeing hanging, disconnection, and very low-performance issues in our wireless network. We replaced the entire network with Cisco Aironet Access Points and since then the issues have been resolved and [the] wireless network is working with great performance.
