About the Access Point
The Cisco Aironet 3800P series Wi-Fi access point provides 802.11ac Wave 2 with Multi User MIMO
(MU MIMO). This AP offers dual-band radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with external antenna options.
The series supports high-performing Spectrum Intelligence which sustains three spatial stream rates
over a deployable distance with high reliability when serving clients. The access point supports full
inter-interoperability with leading 802.11ac clients, and support a mixed deployment with other access
points and controllers.
A full listing of the access point's features and specification are provided in the Cisco Aironet 3800
Series Access Point Data Sheet, at the following URL:

Access Point Features
The 3800 series access point is a Dual-band, controller-based 802.11a/g/n/ac AP and supports:
• Simultaneous dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) radios.
• Deployment in indoor environments, with external antennas (AIR-AP3802P-x-K9).
The 'x' in the model numbers represents the regulatory domain.
You need to verify whether the AP model you have is approved for use in your country. To verify
approval and to identify the regulatory domain that corresponds to a particular country, visit
http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/compliance. Not all regulatory domains have been approved. As
and when they are approved, this compliance list will be updated.
• Multi-Gigabit Ethernet (mGig) Support, providing multiple gigabit uplink speeds of 2.5G and 5G
in addition to 100M and 1G speeds.
• Radio Role Flexibility, allowing for either manual configuration or for the APs to intelligently
determine the operating role of the integrated radios based on the available RF environment. The
AP can operate in the following modes:
