Introduction

Overview of the Access Point

Cisco Catalyst IW9167I Heavy Duty Access Point (hereafter referred to as IW9167I) is designed to make wireless deployments simple in outdoor and industrial environments. It is built with a cast-aluminum case that can handle water, dust, and extreme temperatures. It comes with a built-in antenna that enables high-throughput connectivity for high-density Wi-Fi clients.

The IW9167I supports Wi-Fi 6, and it comes with 6-GHz hardware support. That way organizations can deploy Wi-Fi 6E and get up to 1.2 GHz more spectrum to boost capacity and mitigate interference.

IW9167I is supported on Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers from IOS XE 17.12.1 Software Release.
