Cisco Catalyst 9120AXI-E Wireless Access Point, Wi-Fi 6, 4x4 Dual 5GHz Radio, CleanAir with Cisco RF ASIC, MU-MIMO, PoE, Internal antenna (C9120AXI-E)

Product Information

The Cisco Catalyst 9105 Series Access Points come with a limited lifetime warranty that provides full warranty coverage of the hardware for as long as the original end user continues to own or use the product. The warranty includes 10-day advance hardware replacement and ensures that software media are defect-free for 90 days. For more details, visit https://www.cisco.com/go/warranty. Cisco RF ASIC is a fully integrated Software-Defined Radio (SDR) that can perform advanced RF spectrum analysis and delivers features like Cisco CleanAir, Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS), Fast Locate *, and DFS detection.

For this reason, if you have a mixture of AP types, it is recommended that you group like access points together (for example, AP-3800s on, say, one floor and Cisco Catalyst 9120s on another) and refrain from mixing them. This Cisco Catalyst 9120AXI Access Point supports Software-Defined Access, Cisco’s leading enterprise architecture. Working together, this and Cisco DNA offer such features as: Dual-Band Polarization Diverse Patch Array Antenna, Connectors N-Female Bulkhead (4x RF Coaxial Cable needed) Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller: The 9120AX Series Wi-Fi 6 access points is available with a built-in controller. The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst 9100 Access Points provides an easy-to-deploy and manage option that does not require a physical appliance. The control resides on the access point so there is no added footprint or complexity. And, because it uses Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series code, it’s easy to migrate your network as your needs grow.

Apple features

Installations in Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) closets (telecommunications or other electrical equipment) Apple and Cisco have partnered to create an optimal mobile experience for iOS devices on corporate networks based on Cisco technologies. Using new features in iOS 10, in combination with the latest software and hardware from Cisco, businesses can now more effectively use their network infrastructure to deliver an enhanced user experience across all business applications. At the centre of the collaboration is a unique handshake between the Cisco WLAN and Apple devices. This handshake enables the Cisco WLAN to provide an optimal WiFi roaming experience to Apple devices. Additionally, the Cisco WLAN trusts Apple devices and gives priority treatment for business-critical applications specified by the Apple device. This feature is also known as Fast Lane. Cisco DNA support

The I/Q data is evaluated by the Spectrum Analysis Engine (SAgE), which is custom designed to identify sources of non-Wi-Fi interference, at the highest resolution, in the most simple and effective way. Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco Products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using. High availability and seamless software updates, enabled by hot patching, keep your clients and services always on during planned and unplanned events. The IEEE 802.11ax emerging standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It delivers a better experience in typical environments with more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density, high-definition collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and IoT. Wi-Fi 6 is designed to use both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, unlike the 802.11ac standard. WiFi 6, with better coordination of transit time to and from devices, will also bring about a reduction in latency and a greater reliability allowing for hundreds of devices per access point. This allows for IoT devices to be reliably deployed at scale. And an overall improved user experience will be seen as well, as 802.11ax (WiFi 6) will improve device battery life of devices such as smartphones, tablets and IoT when compared to prior standards. Secure infrastructureI wanted to upgrade my WiFi at home from two 2802i running on Mobility Express to 802.1AX AP's running on eWLC. As availabiltity for 9120's is quite poor here in Germany I bought two 9115AXI-E and converted them to eWLC. Spatial Reuse (also known as Basic Service Set (BSS) coloring) which allows APs and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions.

A Smart Account is a central data repository that provides visibility and access control to all the Cisco software licenses and entitlements across an organization. Smart Accounts allow customers to store, manage, and move assets across locations and devices and begin to use them immediately. Smart Accounts are required for enabling Cisco Smart Software Licensing.

Field Notice: FN-70479 Out-Of-The-Box AP Fails to Join WLC or Joins with Single Radio due to Country Mismatch - RMA required Status LED indicates boot loader status, association status, operating status, boot loader warnings, and boot loader errorsBefore refreshing to Wi-Fi 6, its time to do a review of your existing WLAN issues as well as identifying any new location, BLE, or IoT requirements. Field Notice: FN-63942 APs and WLCs Fail to Create CAPWAP Connections Due to Certificate Expiration Access points can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a RADIUS authorization is pending; self-signed certificates are not enabled on the controller; the access point and the controller regulatory domains don’t match, and so on.
