Dear Members,
we have standalone AP wireless setup in our organization and we have currently 100 number of AP which is 2 AP models AIR-CAP702W-C-K9 and cisco AIR-CAP2702I-C-K9 want to move to Cisco mobility express setup . which model of cisco mobty express AP we need to buy which can support (means can register) these above 2 models of AP.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I would suggest you buy Cisco 3800 series or Cisco 4800 series, but keep in mind both of them are Wave 2. If you run the correct AirOS code in ME on these both of your current AP models will support here.
But my recommendation would be to replace the infrastructure with New Catalyst AP's. You have 2 options;
1. Buy VM controller if you have the compute. In this case controller is free and only pay for support and DNA & Network licenses for AP's.
2. Buy a 9130 EWC, controller supports up to maximum of CAPWAP AP's and you don't have to pay for DNA licenses.
But in both the above scenarios AIR-CAP702W-C-K9 needs replacement (C9105 or the AP model determined by survey) and 2702 supports only up to IOS-XE code 17.3.X. Since EOL is near for both of your AP models look for a complete refreshment if the budget allows.

thanks for your suggestion , our target is ME solution which support our old these both APs Models, and new we will buy 1800 series , as suggested 3800 series AP with ME feature as master will support these 3 models AP as subordinates.

And if you go for ME then start with latest release 8.10.162.0
Both AP types are supported: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/mob_exp/810/user_guide/b_ME_User_Guide_810/about_mob_exp.html
