Cisco Aironet Sensor 1800S replacement

[Daniel Alejandro Castro Henriquez]

Hi everyone,

What equipment can replace the 1800s sensor, for use through DNA Center? because this hardware went into EoS??

Best Regards

Hi

 The replacement is informed on the EoL announcement. For this specific device Cisco did not indicate a replacement. Either they will deactivate this service or they will come up with a new solution.  If I had to guess, I would say the might transfer this functionality to standard Access Points. 

 I started a project with Sensor few month ago but honestly I did not get the result I was expecting.

My guess is Cisco will discontinue these sensors without any replacement. You require DNAC to use these sensors and for many customers maintaining a DNAC is very expensive solution

I believe the 1800S will not have any replacement.  There was talk of one before 2019 but did not materialize because the 1800S was a sales and engineering flop.  Other vendors are able to market theirs cheaper, better performance and can do more.   The mandatory requirement for DNAC (and associated "cloud" related products) made it a tough pill swallow.  

Users want something easy to use, easy to deploy, easy to manage without burning through several year's worth of hard-to-get budget with DNAC & Cisco Catalyst Cloud, etc.
