Features

Features and benefits

Feature	Benefit
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be)	The IEEE 802.11be standard, also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT) or Wi-Fi 7, is the latest in Wi-Fi with enhancements such as 4K-QAM, Multilink Operation (MLO), enhanced Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), preamble puncturing support for a 320-MHz channel width built to increase data transfer rates and connection performance, especially for applications requiring low latency like AR and VR apps.
Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax)	The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It delivers a better experience in typical environments with more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video; high-density, high-definition collaboration apps; all-wireless offices; and the Internet of Things (IoT). Wi-Fi 6E is Wi-Fi 6 “extended” into the 6-GHz frequency band.
10G Multigigabit Ethernet	Multigigabit Ethernet provides speeds up to 10 Gbps. Note: Cat6/Cat6A cabling is required for 10 Gbps port speeds. Cat 5e cable can support speeds up to 5 Gbps.
Built-in GNSS/GPS	A built-in GNSS/GPS antenna allows seamless co-location onboarding, with the AP intelligently selecting regulatory domain and location information.
Integrated Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio	For precision asset tracking and location services using Cisco Wi-Fi 7 APs, an integrated UWB radio provides the flexibility to enable more use cases for enterprises.
AP power optimizations (AP Power Save Mode)	AP Power optimizations (AP Power save mode) allow the access point to reduce its power consumption by e.g. shutting off radios during off-hours and weekends – while still being smart enough to re-engage all features should they be needed. This both saves power and reduces the carbon footprint of running a wireless network.
Band steering	Enhanced to help clients that are 6-GHz capable to leave the 5-GHz radio and connect to the 6-GHz radio. Wi-Fi 6E-capable clients are automatically directed to connect to the 6-GHz radio to take advantage of the benefits that that radio offers while clearing the 2.4- and 5-GHz radios for legacy clients.
Intelligent Capture	Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco Catalyst^™ 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.
Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA)	FRA allows the access points to intelligently determine the operating mode of client-serving radios based on the RF environment and traffic demands. The CW9176I/D1 access points can be flexibly configured in tri-radio mode with 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz or as 5GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz.
Bluetooth/BLE	The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.3 radio enables location-based use cases such as asset tracking, wayfinding, and analytics. Upgradeable to BLE 6 with future software update
Application hosting	Application hosting helps simplify IoT deployments and ready them for the future by eliminating the need to install and manage overlay networks. Using the USB interface, containerized applications and hardware modules can be deployed to reduce cost and complexity. Adding Cisco Catalyst Center provides workflows and deployment-wide application lifecycle management.
Container support for applications	Container support enables edge computing capabilities for IoT applications on the host access point.
Accelerometer	A built-in accelerometer allows continuous, post-deployment verification of how the AP is installed.
