We are a Cisco shop and have been very happy with Cisco, so purchasing these APs was a natural choice for us. We are also an educational institution, and Cisco offers us amazing pricing.

As our network was depending on Cisco, it was the optimum solution to complete the network with the new model on Access Points. Also the new series has great features [such] as mobility express to use in small offices.

We did explore an alternate path for wireless which caused more grief than good, which is why we returned back to Cisco. Since taking things through wireless controllers, we could not be happier.

Motorola started up very well but they quickly fell into a pattern of "this is what we know and we will stick to it." Cisco on the other hand, keeps improving with new solutions and firmware to keep improving roaming.

I tested Aerohive in my previous company and I think the killer feature was the cloud controller and also that every AP can work independently from the controller. At the end we didn't change the vendor. Then I just evaluated Meraki, that it's really plug and play, but with no …

Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points is very well suited for large enterprises and high-density environments. It is not well suited for high ceiling buildings like warehouses and storage places because of low antenna gain. In our main office, it is working very well. For around thirty or so wireless devices this access point works very well and after forty or so wireless devices it starts to suffer.

GPS Tracker - I can't understand why only the Cisco 1570 has this option as well as larger Cisco 3800 APs. Why can't this be in all APs so they can be easily mapped in Google for positioning and later plotted for the coverage zone.

Because until now I haven't had any issues or cases where I needed to create a ticket with Tac from Cisco related to their performance or availability. They have a small size that permits or allows you to install it in each place that you need to mount it, their design is small and appropriate for every kind of office.
Lately we had less issues. Most probably because we reduced the number of Wireless LAN controllers. So less trouble for upgrades as well. We don't have any access point in stand alone mode. It's something I don't suggest, unless it's just for a small office and not for a larger company with different sites.

This access point does not usually randomly shut off. It can't happen but it's generally due to a power over ethernet failures which would could be considered a user error.

Performance wise [Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points] are among of the best pieces of technology we have on premise. I don't say that lightly, we have a lot of cool tech. But if you consider how many users are connecting to these day in and day out without a single blip when they're downloading large files, roaming to new AP's or needing a boosted signal at a far end of the range then these are unmatched.

Make sure to get a professional wireless assessment before purchasing AP's. That way you will only purchase what you need and know where the wiring infrastructure will need to be to streamline the installation and tuning process.

When it comes to deploying the Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points in locations around the school district it has become easier as you get used to putting 4 screws in the mounting plate to the bracket and then slide the access point onto the bracket.
