AIR-AP3802I-E-K9C - Cisco Aironet 3802i Access Point Overview
AIR-AP3802I-E-K9C - Cisco Aironet 3802i Access Point is a genuine wireless coverage and secure client access product from Cisco, a leading enterprise networking vendor whose Catalyst, Nexus and ISR families power campus, data-center and branch networks worldwide. Belonging to the Cisco family, the AIR-AP3802I-E-K9C unit is built to the original factory specification, so it integrates with existing Cisco deployments predictably and behaves exactly as the platform documentation describes. In the network, it is deployed as a standalone unit or as part of a larger managed network, following the standard operating procedures of the platform.
This unit follows the original factory specification for the Cisco family, covering its intended role without compatibility surprises. Standard mounting, cabling and management practices apply, and it interoperates with surrounding hardware using the same procedures as other Cisco equipment already deployed in the network.
Typical deployments include high-density wireless for offices and halls, branch and remote-site Wi-Fi coverage, and guest networks and IoT onboarding. Organizations commonly source it for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, keeping a tested unit on hand so outages stay short and replacements are predictable. The factory detail for this unit reads: “802.11ac Wave 2 AP w/CleanAir, 4x4:3, Mod, Internal Antenna, mGig, E Regulatory Domain, Configurable”. This makes it a practical choice when original-spec hardware is required at a predictable cost.

AIR-AP3802I-E-K9C - Variant Details
This unit is the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) regulatory-domain variant of the AIR-AP3802I-E-K9C family. The regulatory domain determines the supported wireless channels and transmit power levels for the country or region where the access point is deployed. Confirm that the E variant matches your deployment region (or that your controller is set to a compatible domain) before ordering.
The K9C configurable designation means the unit can be ordered or supplied with customized software options, so it can be tailored to your specific deployment requirements. Contact our sales team to confirm the available software and licensing options for this unit.
This SKU is a multi-unit bundle (approximately 380 units), providing an economical option for deploying coverage across multiple floors, offices, or sites at once. Each unit in the bundle shares the same hardware and software baseline as the single-unit SKUs.
When selecting between variants of the AIR-AP3802I-E-K9C family, compare the regulatory domain, bundled accessories, and total cost of ownership. For a like-for-like refresh of an existing deployment, match the variant of the units already in service so channel and power settings remain consistent across the network.

This listing is part of the Cisco enterprise networking product family, sourced and tested by LinkNewNet for enterprise deployment. Cisco wireless product delivers Wi-Fi coverage, controller functionality, or antenna solutions for enterprise networks. It integrates with Cisco wireless controllers and DNA Center for centralized management.
Deployment guidance: When planning this AIR-AP3802I-E-K9C unit into a network, confirm the software image (IOS/IOS-XE/NX-OS) required, the power and cooling profile, and the upstream/downstream interface types that match your existing infrastructure. For a like-for-like refresh, match the feature set of the units already in service so management and automation behave consistently.
Our Cisco reconditioning process: Every pre-owned Cisco unit at LinkNewNet passes a documented reconditioning flow before dispatch - visual inspection, internal cleaning, firmware verification, port-by-port testing, and configuration reset to factory defaults. This ensures the unit you receive operates reliably and integrates cleanly with your existing Cisco management tools.
