Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Product Overview

If you operate a small or medium-sized enterprise network, deploy the Cisco^® Aironet^® 1700 Series Access Point for the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology at an attractive price. The 1700 Series meets the growing requirements of wireless networks by delivering better performance than 802.11n and providing key RF management features for improved wireless experiences.

The 1700 Series supports 802.11ac Wave 1 standard capabilities. That includes a theoretical connection rate of up to 867 Mbps.
The added throughput lets you stay ahead of growing bandwidth requirements as:

● More wireless clients associate with the network

● Users tap into bandwidth-heavy multimedia applications

● Mobile workers increasingly use multiple Wi-Fi devices

Features and Benefits

Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence, the 1700 Series access points run on a purpose-built, innovative chipset with a best-in-class RF architecture. The 1700 Series is a component of Cisco’s flagship, 802.11ac-enabled Aironet access points that deliver robust mobility experiences.

Table 1. Primary Capabilities and How You Benefit

Feature	Benefit
802.11ac Wave 1 support with 3x3 multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) and two spatial streams	Delivers higher rates over a greater range for more capacity and reliability than competing access points. Provides up to three times more bandwidth than 802.11n networks.
Cisco CleanAir^® Express Spectrum Intelligence	Detects RF interference and provides basic spectrum analysis capabilities while simplifying ongoing operations across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz-wide channels
Optimized access point roaming	Directs client devices to associate with the access point in their coverage range, offering the fastest data rate available
MIMO equalization	Boosts uplink performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade
