About the Access Point
The Cisco Aironet 1815T OfficeExtend access point is an 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Wave 2) access point,
with internal antennas. You can place the access point horizontally on a desk. The AP supports
2.4 GHz 2x2 802.11b/g/n MU-MIMO and 5 GHz 2x2 802.11 a/n/ac (Wave 2) MU-MIMO
applications simultaneously.
The 1815T access point offers a highly secure enterprise wireless and wired connection to the home,
micro-branch or other types of remote sites. This access point extends the corporate network to
teleworkers, to mobile workers, or to micro-sites.
The access point connects to the home or site broadband Internet access and establishes a highly secure
tunnel to the corporate network. This tunnel allows remote employees access to data, voice, video, and
cloud services for a mobility experience consistent with that at the corporate office. The Cisco Aironet
1815T access points support secure corporate data access and personal connectivity for teleworkers’
home devices with segmented home traffic.
