Taking advantage of the flexible, modular design of the Cisco Aironet® 3600 Series Access Point, the Cisco® 802.11ac Module delivers the industry's first enterprise-class implementation of next-generation Wi-Fi connectivity, as defined by the IEEE 802.11ac Wave 1 draft specification.
• 802.11ac with 3 x 3 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, with three spatial streams, which sustains 1.3-Gbps rates over a greater range for more capacity and reliability than competing access points
• With the Dynamic Channel usage 802.11ac can utilize an 80- MHz-wide channel and dynamically contract in real-time based on network characteristics
• The module provides MIMO-equalization-optimized uplink performance and reliability by minimizing the impact of signal fade
• 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) providing a 30 percent more efficient use of the wireless spectrum
• Cisco CleanAir® technology, providing proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence to combat performance problems due to wireless interference
• Explicit Compressed Beamforming (ECBF) technology option to improve performance in both directions (when the 802.11ac device also supports ECBF) including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac while improving battery life on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets
