Misc. Q & A

Which AP is best for Hospitality, dorm rooms, and smaller venues?

The AP-702W.

Which AP is best for manufacturing and warehouse areas?

Generally speaking the AP 3700e, 3600e, or 2700e would be the first choices because these external

antenna models have the highest operating temperature range, -20 to 55C. The AP-1600 can also be

used but it has a slightly lower operating temperature, -20 to 50C. If temperature is not a concern

then the internal antenna “I” series 1600, 2600, and 3600 may be used.

What if I am in a country where the regulatory agency may not approve the AP to be used outdoors

because of UNII-1 band restrictions? Or I wish to use higher gain antennas?

Consider deploying the Cisco Mesh products (1550 and 1530 series) or look for APs ending in “P”

for professional install, such as the 3702P series or our outdoor bridging products.

Which AP is best for high density deployments?

Both the 3700 and 2700 have virtually identical AP density for coverage based design.

Capacity-based designed (smaller-cells).

Cisco has a newer Power Injector (AIR-PWR-INJ5). How is this different from the AIR-PWR-INJ4?

The newer AIR-PWR-INJ5 is a low-cost injector for use with 702i, 1600 and 2600 Series Access

Points products. It is a 802.3af (15.4 W) injector. The AIR-PWR-INJ4 is a more powerful injector

designed to work with the AP-702W, AP-3700, and AP-2700. The AIR-PWR-INJ5 can be used with

the AP-702W but not if the PoE output port #4 is required.

Can industrial wireless motion or smoke detectors cause WLAN interference?

Yes, some products such as United Technologies DD475 and Optex MX-50 operate in the 2.4 GHz

band as do other wireless “chimes”, cameras, and other industrial equipment from other

manufacturers.
