Designed for large offices, campuses, and education environments, it supports both controller-based (Cisco WLC \/ Catalyst Center) and standalone Mobility Express deployments.

Its Wave 2 MU-MIMO capability allows simultaneous data transmission to up to three 802.11ac Wave 2 clients at once — a meaningful improvement in classrooms, conference centres, and open-plan offices where dozens of devices connect concurrently. BandSelect steers capable dual-band clients to the cleaner 5 GHz band, reducing congestion on 2.4 GHz while ClientLink beamforming focuses signal energy toward individual clients to improve edge-of-range performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a Cisco Unified Wireless environment, the AP auto-registers with a WLC over CAPWAP and receives its full configuration centrally. No per-AP manual setup is required beyond physical installation. For smaller sites running Mobility Express, the embedded virtual controller supports up to 25 APs while the Nighthawk app (or web GUI) provides intuitive setup. VideoStream multicast-to-unicast conversion ensures reliable delivery of IPTV, lecture capture, and digital signage streams without degrading general WiFi performance for other users on the same AP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#0060a9;font-size:17px;margin:26px 0 10px;padding-bottom:6px;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:0 0 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#0060a9;color:#fff;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#0060a9;color:#fff;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;font-weight:bold;background:#eef2f7;width:33%;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eCisco AIR-AP1852I-Z-K9 (Aironet 1852I)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;font-weight:bold;background:#eef2f7;width:33%;\"\u003eWiFi Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;background:#f5f8fb;\"\u003e802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac Wave 2 dual-band concurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;font-weight:bold;background:#eef2f7;width:33%;\"\u003e5 GHz Radio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e4×4 MIMO with MU-MIMO, up to 1.3 Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;font-weight:bold;background:#eef2f7;width:33%;\"\u003e2.4 GHz Radio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;background:#f5f8fb;\"\u003e3×3 MIMO, up to 450 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;font-weight:bold;background:#eef2f7;width:33%;\"\u003eAntennas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eInternal omni-directional (I model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;font-weight:bold;background:#eef2f7;width:33%;\"\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;background:#f5f8fb;\"\u003eIEEE 802.3af (PoE) \/ 802.3at (PoE+);
