Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco Catalyst™ IW9167E Series comes to hazardous locations with the IW9167E-HZ model.
Cisco Catalyst IW9167E-HZ Heavy Duty Access Point
The Catalyst IW9167E-HZ delivers high-performance, reliable wireless connectivity to environments that need Class I Division 2, ATEX Zone 2/22, or IECEx certifications, such as the oil and gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
The Catalyst IW9167E-HZ can operate in either Wi-Fi 6/6E or Cisco® Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) mode:
● Wi-Fi 6E: Enjoy all the benefits of the expansion into the 6-GHz spectrum, such as higher density, higher throughput, more channels, power efficiency, and improved security.
● URWB: Connect your most demanding applications with wireless backhaul, delivering high speeds, ultra-reliability, low latency, zero loss, and seamless handoffs.
This dual capability gives you the flexibility to decide which technology to use depending on the project requirements. The operational mode can be swapped in the field, enabling you to adapt the product to the specific use case, facilitating the transition between the two technologies and optimizing your investment.
With the introduction of the IW9167E-HZ model, URWB is available for the first time in hazardous locations. URWB extends Wi-Fi technology to deliver ultra-low latency and ultra-reliability over distance, in point to point, point to multipoint, or mesh architectures. It can be used as a wireless backhaul where wired connectivity is unavailable or prohibitively expensive to deploy and maintain. To learn more about URWB, please read the Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul Solution Overview.
The Catalyst IW9167E-HZ brings Wi-Fi 6/6E and URWB to hazardous locations
The Catalyst IW9167E-HZ has all the features you need to connect, automate, and operate in hazardous locations.
● Three 802.11ax radios (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 5/6 GHz) enable you to use different applications on different radios.
● 4x4 MIMO, four spatial streams, eight N-type antenna connectors.
