Description

The Aironet 1815i is a dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) indoor access point from the Cisco Aironet 1815 Series. It is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprise networks, including remote workers and micro-offices using Office Extend Access Point (OEAP) mode, where a controller-less deployment is wanted.

This AIR-AP1815I-Z-K9C variant ships with Cisco Mobility Express as its default software, so one access point can run the virtual wireless controller for the rest. It is built for the Z regulatory domain. The radios are 2x2 MU-MIMO with two spatial streams, delivering up to 866.7 Mbps PHY rate on 5 GHz and about 1 Gbps aggregate across both radios. Each radio supports up to 200 clients, or 400 per access point. Wired connectivity is a single 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port with PoE input, plus an RJ-45 management console port. Maximum power draw is 8.3 W on PoE.

It can also join Cisco AireOS controllers running 8.3.112.0 or later, or Catalyst 9800 Series controllers, in CAPWAP mode. Mobility Express mode needs no separate licence, while joining a Catalyst 9800 controller requires a Cisco DNA subscription.

FAQs

Q: Does it need a licence to run in Mobility Express mode?
A: No separate licence is needed to run in the default Mobility Express mode. If you join it to a Catalyst 9800 Series controller instead, it requires a Cisco DNA subscription (DNA Essentials or DNA Advantage).

Q: How is it powered?
A: It is powered by an 802.3af/at PoE switch or by a Cisco power injector, AIR-PWRINJ5= or AIR-PWRINJ6=. Maximum draw is 8.3 W on PoE.

Q: Which controllers does it work with?
A: It works with Cisco AireOS controllers (2500, 3500, 5500, Flex 7500 and 8500 Series, WiSM2 and the ISR G2 controller module) running 8.3.112.0/8.3MR1 or later, and with Catalyst 9800 Series controllers. It can also run controller-less in Mobility Express mode.

Q: What does the K9C and Z in this SKU mean?
A: K9C indicates the Mobility Express software image is the default. Z is the regulatory domain, which covers Australia.

Q: Can it be used without a wireless controller?
A: Yes. In Mobility Express mode one access point acts as the virtual controller for the others, so a small deployment needs no separate controller hardware.
