Extremely High-Performance 802.11be compatible wireless
The CW9178I is a cloud-managed Tri-band 4×4:4 802.11be compatible access point that raises the bar for wireless performance and efficiency. Designed for next-generation deployments in offices, schools, hospitals, retail shops, and hotels, the CW9178I offers high throughput, enterprise-grade security, and simple management.
The CW9178I provides a maximum of 24 Gbps aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios. A dedicated fourth radio provides real-time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fifth integrated IoT radio delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing.
The Cisco Wireless CW9178I supports a software-defined flex radio which can be operated in a Tri-Radio or Quad-Radio. The option to operate in Quad-Radio provides dual 5 GHz configuration that will help in high-density deployments.
With the combination of cloud management, high-performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features, the CW9178 makes an outstanding platform for the most demanding of uses—including high-density deployments and bandwidth or performance-intensive applications like voice (Cisco WebEx) and high-definition video.
CW9178I and Meraki cloud management
Management of the Cisco Wireless 9178I is through the Meraki cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid deployment without time-consuming deployment complexity and time-consuming staging process. Since the CW9178I is self-configuring and managed over the web, it can be deployed at a remote location in a matter of minutes, even without on-site IT staff.
24×7 monitoring via the Meraki cloud delivers real-time alerts if the network encounters problems. Remote diagnostic tools enable immediate troubleshooting over the web so that distributed networks can be managed with a minimum of hassle.
The Cisco Wireless 9178I firmware can be scheduled to upgrade to a latest version at will by the customer. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web. This means no manual software updates to download or missing security patches to worry about.
