Technical Specifications

Management Without the Overhead: On-Premise & License-Free

The AIR-AP2802I-B-K9 is designed to give you enterprise-grade control without the enterprise-grade price tag. By utilizing the built-in Cisco Mobility Express software, you gain a powerful on-premise management platform that resides directly on the access point.

The “No-License” Advantage

• Zero Recurring Costs: Unlike cloud-managed solutions that require annual subscriptions, the Mobility Express software is license-free. Once you own the hardware, you own the management capabilities.

• Reduced TCO: Lower your Total Cost of Ownership by eliminating the need for separate hardware controller licenses (RTU licenses) or per-device cloud fees.

• Permanent Ownership: Your network remains fully functional and manageable forever, regardless of subscription status.

Powerful On-Premise Control

While the 2802I can be managed by a physical Cisco 3500, 5500, or 8500 Series Wireless Controller if your network scales up, the Mobility Express mode allows it to act as its own “Virtual Controller.”

• Local Management: Keep your data and management traffic on your own private network—ideal for security-conscious industries or remote sites with limited internet bandwidth.

• Centralized Dashboard: Even without a physical appliance, you can push configurations, monitor client health, and manage up to 100 Access Points and 2,000 Clients from a single local interface.

• Rapid Deployment: Set up your entire on-premise wireless network in under 10 minutes using the “Over-the-Air” provisioning wizard or the Cisco Wireless Mobile App.
