Catalyst 3850 Enables Unified Access Cisco Unified Access is the convergence of the wired & wireless networks into one physical infrastructure with greater intelligence, simplicity, performance, & open interfaces. One network starts with Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches, which combine wired & wireless by supporting wireless tunnel termination & full wireless LAN controller functionality. Best-in-Class Stackable Access Switch The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch currently offers the industry's highest 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth to meet network dem&, including gigabit desktop & 802.11ac wireless. The switch delivers advanced capabilities such as a high-performance 24/48 port GE switch, 480 G stacking, Power over Ethernet Plus, Stack Power & Flexible Net Flow on all ports. Converged Wired & Wireless Access The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch brings Cisco IOS excellence to wireless by extending wired infrastructure features, resiliency, granular Qo S, & scalability. It provides built-in wireless controller capabilities with 40 G wireless throughput, support for 50 access points & 2000 wireless clients per switch or stack, & support for 802.11ac. Distributed Intelligent Services The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch delivers common intelligent services across wired & wireless for security & policy, application visibility & control, network resiliency, smart operations, & more. The switch can enable multi-level Qo S based on granular information such as SSID, client, radio, application, & fair share policies for wireless. Foundation for Cisco Open Network Environment The heart of Cisco Catalyst 3850 is the new ASIC with programmability for future features & intelligence with investment protection. The new ASIC provides a foundation for converged APIs across wired & wireless, software-defined networking (SDN) support, & Cisco One Platform Kit (One PK).
