Overview of Cisco's Catalyst Line of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E Access Points
Cisco's Catalyst line of 802.11ax (referred to as Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E) wireless access points improve on previous generation 802.11ac (called Wi-Fi 5) APs by delivering lower latency and more predictable performance, supporting higher client density, providing greater security, saving energy for battery-powered mobile devices, and offering more flexibility for handling new types of Internet-of-Things (IoT) endpoints.

Progent's Cisco CCIE-certified Wi-Fi experts offer online or on-premises consulting and technical support services to help businesses of any size to plan, configure, upgrade, tune, manage and troubleshoot Catalyst indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point systems for any network architecture or site. Progent's Cisco-certified CCIE network infrastructure consultants and Cisco wireless controller consultants can also assist you to integrate your Wi-Fi environment seamlessly with your local wired network and your cloud infrastructure to build a unified ecosystem with centralized management and practically unlimited expandability. Progent can also provide economical Wi-Fi site surveys to assist you to plan an efficient deployment of Wi-Fi access points that includes the selection of appropriate Catalyst AP devices and their optimal placement based on your site's physical layout and RF environment as well as your anticipated application loads, client density, and endpoint types.

Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6 Access Points Consultants

Cisco's Catalyst Wi-Fi 6 access points support the performance and scale of the 802.11ax standard

Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series Wi-Fi 6/6E Wireless Access Points
Cisco's Catalyst 9100 line of Wi-Fi 6 wireless access points (APs) are designed for environments ranging from home offices to enterprise campuses and crowded stadiums. Catalyst 9100 APs are based on the 802.11ax standard, which in turn builds on the previous 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) specification. Unlike 802.11ac, Wi-Fi 6 is designed to use both the 2.4-Ghz and 5-GHz bands. Headline technologies introduced by the 802.11ax standard and supported by Cisco 9100 Series APs include MU-MIMO support for uplink traffic, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheduling for ultra-high density deployment scenarios, dual NAVs for improved reliability, Target Wake Time (TWT) for reduced power consumption in battery-powered endpoints, adaptive power and sensitivity thresholds for more efficient spectrum utilization, dynamic fragmentation for reduced overhead, and extended guard interval durations for improved performance in outdoor environments. All Catalyst 9100 Series Wi-Fi 6 wireless access points support Cisco's Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC), include a USB port, handle up to 200 clients per Wi-Fi radio, and are powered by Cisco IOS XE Software.

Cisco Catalyst 9136 Wi-Fi 6E Access Point ConsultantsCisco's Catalyst 9136 Series is a breakthrough line of access points designed for enterprises looking for the enhanced performance, capacity, and security enabled by the 6-GHz spectrum expansion introduced with the Wi-Fi 6E standard. By adding 1.2 GHz of contiguous and interference-free RF spectrum in the 6 GHz band, the Wi-Fi 6E standard supported by Catalyst 9136 Series access points more than doubles the bandwidth available to Wi-Fi client devices. Catalyst 9136 APs support legacy 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi client devices operating in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands as well as the newer generation of 6 GHz Wi-Fi devices. Concurrent MU-MIMO operation supports up to 8x8:8 at 5 GHz and 4x4:4 at 2.4 GHz and 6 GHz. Combined max data rate is 10.2 Gbps. Also included are a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 radio for IoT plus a scan radio. Internal omnidirectional antennas support 2.4 GHz, 5-GHz, and 6 GHz operation. The access points have two integrated 5 Gbps mGig (RJ-45) Ethernet interfaces. Channel width is 20 MHz for the 2.4 GHz band and 20/40/80/160 MHz for the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. System memory consists of 2048 MB DRAM and 1024 MB flash. Power options include PoE, PoE+, and UPoE.

Cisco Catalyst 9166 Wi-Fi 6E Access Point ConsultantsCatalyst 916x Series access points are the first Wi-Fi 6E APs from CISCO that can be monitored and managed either on premises via Cisco DNA Center or from the cloud using Meraki Dashboard management tools. This allows organizations to transition to cloud-based or hybrid management environments at their own pace. All Catalyst 916x APs meet the a/b/g/n/ac/ax and 6E Wi-Fi standards and fully support the new 6-GHz band. Each device includes 5 radios and supports up to 400 clients per radio. Each AP model also features a dedicated radio for Cisco CleanAir Pro to reduce wireless interference, comes with a USB 2.0 port, and supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Cisco's entry-level Catalyst 9162 Series AP is intended for small organizations, has three 2x2 radios, and includes 1x 100M/1000M/2.5G mGig Ethernet support. Cisco's Catalyst 9164 Series AP is designed for small and mid-size organizations, has one 2x2 radio and two 4x4 radios, and features 1x 100M/1000M/2.5G mGig Ethernet.

Cisco's Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst 9100 Series Wi-Fi 6 Access Points
Cisco's Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) is a software image powered by Cisco IOS XE and available for most Catalyst 9100 access points. EWC supports most management functions, but not the scale, of Cisco's Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller appliances. APs running EWC can simultaneously service Wi-Fi clients. (Catalyst 9105AXW APs can join an EWC network and service clients but are not able to run EWC functions.) The EWC can be managed using Cisco DNA Center for multisite networks, or via a browser or mobile app for single-site environments. All Cisco DNA Center Automation and Assurance use cases are supported. EWC features include high availability with active and standby controllers, software maintenance updates (SMUs) for hot patching, automatic configuration, Application Visibility and Control (AVC), Flexible Radio Assignment, and Site Survey.
