Greetings,
I have a couple of general wifi architecture questions. I need to replace some AP"s at my office that are going EOL. Some of them are
AIR-LAP1252AG-A-K9 |
And they have external antennas. My boss wants to use 2702's to replace them so that we can re-use the external Antennas. Our standard internal deployment right now is a 1702. So my questions would be
-Is there anyway to identify the current antenna model via the WLC?
-Do these antennae have a legitimate EOL date?
-Is there anyway to way the benefits of 2702's with old external antennas, vs new 1702/s with internals?
My horse in the race is the 1702's, solely because I already have some in inventory, but I am looking for a way to subtley/indirectly float the idea that we'd be better off with the internals. Thanks

Ok, let's look back at the 1250. Each of the six antenna ports are single-band.
The newer 2702E antenna ports, however, are dual-band.
So this means that if 1250 antennas are to be used, then only a single radio will be enabled. It simple doesn't make any sense.
