Cisco Catalyst IW9167 Heavy Duty Series Data Sheet

Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E
(802.11 ax)

The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. IW9167 series can support 4x4 MIMO and up to four spatial streams.

Wi-Fi 6E is Wi-Fi 6 “extended” into the 6 GHz frequency band, allowing the use of additional channels.

Flexible multitechnology support

Two different technologies (Wi-Fi and URWB) provide flexibility to choose a mode based on the use case. Ability to swap images in the field helps you select Wi-Fi, WGB, or URWB operating modes without changing the hardware.

Tri-radio architecture

IW9167E

Multigigabit Ethernet

Dual Multigigabit Ethernet supports speeds up to 5 Gbps.

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 country’s 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 5.1

The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.1 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), etc.

Container support for applications

Container support enables edge computing capabilities for IoT applications on the host access point.

Self-identifying antenna

The access point is able to read information from antennas that support the Self-Identifying Antenna (SIA) feature and automatically populates antenna gain for plug-and-play antenna configuration.

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.
