The Cisco Aironet 702I is a cost-effective solution for providing reliable basic Wi-Fi connectivity to small offices and businesses. It offers several improvements over the 702W model:

• Increased client support: Can handle up to twice as many connected devices (64 vs. 32), making it suitable for slightly larger environments.
• Gigabit Ethernet ports: Provides faster wired network connectivity for improved data transfer speeds.
• Advanced security features: Supports additional security protocols like 802.1x and MAC address filtering for enhanced network protection.
• Controller-based or standalone: Can be managed by a central controller for larger deployments or used standalone for simpler setups.
