Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.

This product is no longer being sold. The recommended replacement is the Cisco Catalyst IW9167E or Cisco Catalyst IW9167I Heavy Duty Access Point.

The Cisco® Industrial Wireless 3700 (IW3700) Series Access Points deliver industry-leading performance and a high-density experience for industrial and outdoor use. The IW3700 offers industrial-grade environmental qualifications while providing higher speeds for video and other bandwidth-intensive applications and extending support to a new generation of Wi-Fi clients, such as smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops that have integrated 802.11ac support.

In its first implementation, 802.11ac Wave 1 provides a rate of up to 1.3 Gbps, roughly triple the rates offered by high-end 802.11n access points. This provides the necessary foundation for industrial, enterprise, and service provider networks to stay ahead of the performance, and bandwidth expectations and needs of their wireless users.

Due to its convenience, wireless access is increasingly the preferred form of network connectivity for industrial users. Along with this shift, there is an expectation that wireless should not slow down users’ day-to-day work but should enable a high- performance experience while allowing users to move freely around the corporate environment.

The IW3700 offers a scalable and secure mesh architecture for high-performance Wi-Fi services, and can also serve as an advanced static or mobile Workgroup Bridge (WGB).

  Supports rogue access point detection and detection of denial-of-service attacks.
  Management frame protection detects malicious users and alerts network administrators.
  Enables policies to prohibit devices that interfere with the Wi-Fi network or jeopardize network security.

High-density experience

Building on Cisco’s heritage of RF excellence, the Cisco IW3700 Series Access Points use a purpose-built innovative chipset with best-in-class RF architecture. This chipset provides a high-density experience for industrial and enterprise networks designed for mission-critical, high-performance applications. The IW3700 is a series of flagship access points, delivering environmentally qualified key requirements of industrial applications, industry-leading performance for highly secure wireless connections and a robust mobility experience that includes:

     802.11ac with 4 x 4 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology with three spatial streams that offer sustained 1.3-Gbps rates for more capacity and reliability than competing access points.

     Cisco ClientLink 3.0 technology to improve downlink performance to all mobile devices, including one, two, and three spatial stream devices on 802.11ac while improving battery life on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.

     Cisco CleanAir® technology enhanced with 80-MHz channel support provides proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz wide channels to combat performance problems due to wireless interference.

     Cisco Flexible Antenna Port technology uses software configurable for either single- or dual-band antennas. It allows you to use the same antenna ports for either dual-band antennas to reduce footprint or single-band antennas to optimize radio coverage.

The new Cisco IW3700 Series Access Points sustain connections at higher speeds farther from the access points than competing solutions, resulting in up to three times more availability of 1.3-Gbps rates and optimizing the performance of more client devices. The IW3700 carries forward the industry-leading features of the Cisco Aironet® 3700 Series. Cisco also offers the industry’s broadest selection of 802.11n and 802.11ac antennas, delivering optimal coverage for a variety of deployment scenarios.

Workgroup Bridge (WGB) and Wireless Bridge Auto-Negotiation (WBAN)

When employed as a WGB, the Cisco IW3700 Series Access Points provide an arsenal of features and capabilities to ensure continuous connectivity for static and mobile industrial applications, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), container handling equipment, or high-performance train-to-trackside links. These unique capabilities can enable autonomous operation of critical mobile assets in industries such as manufacturing, mining, and transportation, and deliver a high-reliability solution for applications that cannot tolerate even the shortest losses in wireless connectivity, including in a roaming environment:

     Fast WGB Roaming leverages the IEEE 802.11v Fast BSS Transition amendment to ensure consistent throughput and stable rate-shifting for connections to assets that are moving at high speeds.

     The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) allows the distribution of traffic over two parallel wireless connections in order to achieve the highest level of resilience and reduction in delay variation. In addition, Roaming Coordination enables the WGB to control its parallel connections in a way in which roaming handovers on the two interfaces are programmatically decoupled from one another1.

     A Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) client allows an external device to perform intelligent upstream path selection, thus enabling Radio Aware Routing (RAR)[1].

     Additional enhancements relevant for industrial applications include prioritized PROFINET protocol transport support and the ability to automatically negotiate bridge pair roles via WBAN.
