The Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Access Point provides reliable wireless connectivity for mission-critical applications in a state-of-the art platform.The Catalyst IW9167E addresses the growing need to provide reliable wireless connectivity for mission-critical applications as organizations automate processes and operations. It comes with three 4x4 radios, in a heavy-duty design that is IP67 rated and packed with advanced features.As you automate your processes and operations to increase safety and productivity, you also need to improve your situational awareness to control your systems. Moving assets involved in mission-critical applications, such as Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), and teleremote operations, require reliable wireless connectivity. Sometimes you need to extend your network where running fiber isn't feasible or is too costly.
Multigigabit Ethernet
Dual Multigigabit Ethernet supports speeds up to 5 Gbps. All speeds are supported on Category 5e cabling, as well as 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz) cabling.
Smart AP
Smart AP causes the access point to change its power consumption to reflect its current client load. An access point will typically operate on the radios provided to it regardless of how many clients are connected. With Smart AP, if the number of clients is small enough, the access point will automatically reduce the radio stream count, saving power.
Band steering
Enhanced to help clients that are 6 GHz capable to leave the 5 GHz radio and connect to the 6 GHz one. Wi-Fi 6E clients are automatically directed to connect to the 6 GHz radio to take advantage of the benefits that the radio offers and free up the 2.4- and 5 GHz radios for legacy clients. IW9167 is Wi-Fi 6E ready, subject to approvals and regulations for the use of the 6 GHz spectrum by each countries' regulatory agencies
Uplink/downlink OFDMA
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based scheduling splits the bandwidth into smaller frequency allocations called Resource Units (RUs), which can be assigned to individual clients in both the downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency.
Uplink/downlink MU-MIMO technology
Supporting four spatial streams, Multiuser Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices to maximize throughput.
BSS coloring
Spatial reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) allows the access points and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions.
Target Wake Time
Target Wake Time (TWT) allows the client to stay asleep and to wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the access point. This offers significant energy savings for battery-operated devices, up to three to four times the savings achieved by 802.11n and 802.11ac.
Intelligent Capture
Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco DNA Center with deep analysis. The software can track more than 240 anomalies and instantaneously review all packets on demand, emulating the onsite network administrator. Intelligent Capture allows for more informed decisions on your wireless networks.
Bluetooth 5
The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5 radio enables location-based use cases such as asset tracking, wayfinding, and analytics.
Scanning radio
Dedicated radio for monitoring air space to perform advanced RF spectrum analysis and deliver features such as Cisco CleanAir, Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS), and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS).
GNSS
A built-in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver provides coordinates to track the location of the access point.
M12 adapter
M12 adapter accessories give the flexibility to convert Ethernet and power interfaces on the base unit into M12 interfaces while retaining all the certifications.
Multipath operations
Multipath operations (MPO) can enhance reliability by sending duplicate copies of packets across multiple wireless paths.
Workgroup bridge (WGB)
Provides wireless connectivity to a lightweight access point infrastructure on behalf of wired clients that are connected via Ethernet behind the WGB access point.
