2Introduction to the Access Point
The 3600 series supports high-performing Spectrum Intelligence which sustains three spatial stream rates over a deployable distance with high reliability when serving clients. The 3600 series provides high reliability and overall wireless performance.
The 3600 series offers dual-band radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with integrated and external antenna options. The access points support full inter-operability with leading 802.11n clients, and support a mixed deployment with other access points and controllers.
The 3600 series access point is a controller-based (Unified) product and supports:
•Simultaneous dual-band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) radios
•Integrated antennas on the 3602I access point model (AIR-CAP3602I-x-K9)
•External antennas for rugged 3602E access point model (AIR-CAP3602E-x-K9)
Note The ‘x’ in the model numbers represents the regulatory domain. Refer to “Regulatory Domains” section on page 6 for a list of supported regulatory domains.
The features of the 3600 series are:
