5. (1998) Aironet AP4800E (2018) NEW AP4800
In early 1999 the Aironet AP4800E was best in the market and one of the first
APs to reach wired (10 Mbps speeds) allowing 802.11 became a reality
The best AP in 1999 on the market and the reason Cisco acquired Aironet
This is Cisco’s most advanced AP ever
Certainly the best AP in the market today
Clearly earningthe name 4800
After 20 years of innovation, this is our
very best 802.11ac Wave-2 Access Point

7. AP-4800 Overview
AP-4800 is the next evolution of Cisco’s Wave-2 Access Point, redefining RF Excellence
• In addition to all the features supported by the AP-3800i the new AP-4800 contains the following new components:
• Built-in Hyperlocation antenna Array,16 Element Antenna Array for Hyperlocation, and packet monitoring
• Analytics Capabilities providing event driven real-time data captures. This provides Real-time visibility into DNAC
and potential 3rd party analytics
• 3rd
Flexible (receive only radio), specifically for Analytics, Hyperlocation, Wireless Security Monitoring, and future
functionality using the programmable digital antenna array.
• Built-in BLE Radio capable of BLE TX/RX. This is similar to the BLE radio in the WSM module for the AP3700
• Hyperlocation AoA technology, Location accuracy on Wi-Fi similar to the AP3700 + HL module
• Full Flexible Radio Assignment Operating modes, such as Dual-5GHz while performing Hyperlocation
• Note: Module port on AP3800 is not available on the AP-4800 (it is used internally for the Analytics Radio)
• Code version 8.7.106.0 on CCO now

11. Why 3800 Matters – Dual 5GHz XOR Radio = Best WLAN Performance
XOR radio (AP-3800) won Cisco’s 2017 Pioneer Awardfor RF Innovation – Here’s Why…
AP2800/3800 has Dual 5 GHz- A dual 5 GHz AP creating micro/macro cells with the ability to beamform
(using Client-Link) will significantly enhance all 802.11a,g,n, & .11ac Wave-1 Clients.
Note: Standards Based Beamforming only works with .11w2 and .11ax
Take-away
Using Dual 5 GHz
Means Equal Client Airtime
Faster data-rates &
Less channel utilization
Then add Cisco Clientlink &
(Legacy client retries improve)
Single channel 36 utilization at 60%
(clients far away take longer airtime)
Using Micro/Macro (Dual 5 GHz)
Channel 36 @ 20% channel utilization
Channel 108 @ 24% channel utilization.
