Cisco DNA Spaces Analyze visitor behavior, simplify visitor Wi-Fi access, track assets accurately and quickly, and provide visitors with a better experience
Cisco Application Visibility and Controllability (AVC) × Monitor more than 1,000 applications for capacity planning and prioritization
Future-oriented modular functions 3600 series only 3700 series only 3800 series only × Ready for the next generation of technology now
OFDMA × × × Allows scheduling to split bandwidth into smaller data blocks: resource units (RU). These RUs can only be allocated to each client in the downlink direction to reduce overhead and delay by 50%, thereby increasing the running speed of the application
Target Wake Time × × × Future Offer This is an energy-saving mode that allows users to determine a predetermined time to exchange data with the wireless access point. Compared with the previous 802.11n and 802.11ax, this mode can increase the power saving capacity of battery-powered devices by 3 to 4 times
mGig uplink support × × 3800 and 4800 only It supports a connection speed of up to 5 Gbps and is compatible with NBASE-T and IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet, which can seamlessly shunt network traffic without bottlenecks at all. The existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable connection speed can reach 5 Gbps, which can provide higher throughput and save money by keeping the existing wiring
BLE radio frequency band × × 4800 only
A short-range technology that can enhance location services for mobile devices
Smart capture × × 2800 only,3800 and 4800Wireless access point Provided in the future (some models) Can probe the network and provide in-depth data analysis to Cisco DNA Center

Automation and network status awareness

HDX × Provided in the future (some models) Automatically manage radio frequency bands to improve Wi-Fi performance
Flexible, software defined, dual radio frequency band, 5 GHz × × 2800 and 3800 series only (4800 has four radio frequency bands) Provided in the future (some models) Provides automation support for many clients using dual 5 GHz radio bands
Best Practices × Via Mobility Express and
WLAN Express settings can easily enable advanced features
Apple FastLane × Enable iOS devices to use fast channels to quickly and efficiently connect to the most suitable wireless access point and realize intelligent communication with it, while helping iOS devices to save battery power
Jabber/Lync SDN API × Enable employees to access instant messaging, voice, video, voice messaging, desktop sharing, and meeting functions anytime, anywhere
Cisco DNA Center × × Reduce risk and automate equipment deployment, thereby simplifying network management. Not only that, it can also reduce costs

Security and compliance

ISE Next-generation identity and access control policy platform, which can enforce policy regulations, strengthen infrastructure security, and simplify service operations
NetFlow × Provides a series of key services for IP applications, including network traffic statistics, utilization-based network billing, network planning, security, denial of service monitoring and network monitoring
Stealthwatch × Supports advanced network visibility, advanced analysis, and advanced protection features, and knows everything that happens in the network and data center
