The Cisco® Business 240AC Access Point delivers an ideal blend of predictable performance in a compact form. Incorporating 802.11ac Wave 2 features, this platform is ideal for small-to-midsize enterprise deployments.
Ideal for small and medium-sized networks, the Cisco Business 240AC Access Point delivers industry-leading performance for enterprise-class 4x4 Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO), four spatial stream access points that support the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.11ac Wave 2 standard. The Cisco Business 240AC Access Point extends support to a new generation of Wi-Fi clients, such as smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops that have integrated 802.11ac Wave 1 or Wave 2 support.
Feature | Benefit |
802.11ac Wave 1 and 2 capabilities with MU‑MIMO technology | The IEEE 802.11ac standard delivers improved experience in typical environments, and more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density high-definition collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and Internet of Things (IoT). Supporting four spatial streams, MU-MIMO enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices, to maximize throughput. |
Simplified management | Deploy and configure multiple Cisco Business Wireless access points and mesh extenders easily without a physical controller, using Cisco Business Mobile app. Optional multisite remote management is available through Cisco FindIT Network Management. |
Mesh technology support | Mix and match Cisco Business mesh extenders or access points to increase WiFi coverage throughout your business. |
Flexible deployment | Flexible deployment models supporting multiple concurrent use cases required by small businesses, including point of sale systems, surveillance cameras, guest access, and more. |
