Cisco Aironet Series

2015-08-05 Thread Deshong, Kenneth
I have a question that I hope someone can help me with.

In the hope of saving money, my boss wants me to look at a cheaper alternative 
to the 3702i in areas that might not need a top of the line Access Point. In my 
comparison, I find the Aironet 2702i to have similar specs minus the 4x4 radio. 
Both support 802.11ac, Client Link 3.0, CleanAir 2.0.  I don't plan on using 
the Modular slot .

I've read from limited sources that say the electrons are the same, and 
performance is neck and neck.  Can anyone debunk that?

Our Cisco sales guy pretty much sold us our 2702s on those points because we 
had initially requested the 3702s. I cannot tell you for sure if there is any 
difference because we have not deployed 3702s.

They should perform near identically.  Well within the margin of error of 
whatever test you are doing.

Actually if you look at the specs, the RX sensitivity of the 2700 is better 
than the 3700.  If you have a compelling use case for the module, go 3700.  If 
you don't, go 2700.

Thanks

We have started using the 2702i¹s in are smaller locations, and use the
3702¹s on the main campus.
