Cisco DNA Support 

Pairing the 3800 Series access points with the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) allows for a total network 

transformation. Cisco DNA allows you to truly understand your network with real-time analytics, quickly detect and 

contain security threats, and easily provide networkwide consistency through automation and virtualization. By 

decoupling network functions from the hardware, you can build and manage your entire wired and wireless network 

from a single user interface.  

Working together, the 3800 Series and DNA offer such features as: 

● 

Flexible Radio Assignment 

● 

Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences 

● 

Cisco High Density Experience  

● 

Apple FastLane 

● 

Cisco Identity Services Engine  

● 

And much more 

The result? Your network stays relevant, becomes digital-ready, and is the lifeblood of your organization. 

High-Density Experience 

Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence, the Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points run on a 

purpose-built, innovative chipset with a best-in-class RF architecture. This chipset provides a high-density 

experience for enterprise networks designed for mission-critical, high-performance applications. The 3800 Series is 
part of Cisco’s flagship portfolio of 802.11ac-enabled access points, delivering a robust mobility experience. It 

features 802.11ac Wave 2 with 4x4 MU-MIMO technology supporting three spatial streams. MU-MIMO enables 

access points to split spatial streams between client devices, to maximize throughput.  

With two radios built into each access point, the Aironet 3800 Series is more versatile than any access point 

currently on the market. These radios are outfitted with Flexible Radio Assignment, which means that the access 

points automatically self-optimize to better serve the environment. For example, one of the radios broadcasts its 

signal on the 5-GHz channel and the other sends out a 2.4-GHz signal. The access point understands the wireless 

environment and will automatically switch the 2.4-GHz signal to a 5-GHz signal, increasing the reliability of your 
customers’ Wi-Fi use. This setting automatically works in reverse too: the access point can recognize that the RF 

environment has changed and revert back to its original configuration.  

The 3800 Series also dynamically changes the radio settings based on the wireless environment. The access point 

will allow one of the radios to operate in Wireless- Security Monitoring mode, allowing you to detect wireless 

security threats and interference and combat rogue access. This valuable information can be culled in an easy-to-

understand matrix to inform you about your wireless users. Flexible Radio Assignment also allows you to convert a 

radio into Wireless Service Assurance mode, providing proactive health monitoring of the network.

Optimized access point roaming helps ensure that client devices associate with the access point in their 

coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available.

Cisco ClientLink 4.0 improves downlink performance to all mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-

spatial-stream devices on 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. At the same time, the technology improves battery life on 

mobile devices.
