We went the same route. Started with the 3700’s but after deciding that we probably would not use the modular slot we switched to deploying 2700’s across campus – with the exception of 702w’s for the dorms.

We started deploying 3700’s but we quickly saw that the performance of the 2700 was comparable and the savings was worth it. So now that is our standard WAP.

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? ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
