What the difference between Cisco CAP and AP?

Hi!

What the difference between Cisco CAP and AP?
Is the CAP only managed by the controller?

Thank you!

 - If you refer to the CAPWAP ; that protocol is being used between a controller and a lightweight access point.

I talk about access points models. For example:
AIR-AP2702I and AIR-CAP2702I-R-K9

In 2700 and 3700 models AIR-AP was refereed with Universal Regulatory Domain and AIR-CAP was refereed with country specific. See datasheet for more info
