Description

Cisco C9115AXI-E

The Cisco Catalyst 9115AX series wireless access point is a dual band, dual concurrent, enterprise 802.11ax AP. This AP series offers integrated and external antenna options, designed to use both 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands. This access point supports a greater overall High Density Experience (HDX) which provides a more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density high-definition collaboration applications, all-wireless offices and Internet-of-Things (IoT). The access point supports full interoperability with leading 802.11ax and 802.11ac clients, and supports a mixed deployment with other access points and controllers.

The 9115AX series access point is a wireless controller-based product and supports:

■Four dual-band integrated antennas on the 9115AXI access point models (C9115AXI-x and C9115AXI-EWC-x)

■External antennas on the 9115AXE access point models (C9115AXE-x and C9115AXE-EWC-x)

Integrated internal antennas, omni directional in azimuth for both 2.4 GHz (peak gain 3dBi) and 5 GHz (peak gain 4dBi)

■Simultaneous 4×4 MIMO with four spatial streams for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands

■The following hardware external interfaces:

–1×100/1000/2500 Multigigabit Ethernet (RJ-45)

–RS-232 Console Interface through RJ-45

–Recovery push button (enables partial or full system configuration recovery)

–USB 2.0 Port

–One multi-color LED Status indicator. see the Checking the Access Point LEDs for information on the colors of the LED status indicator.

■Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology with 4 spatial streams for downlink.

■Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based scheduling for both downlink and uplink

■Spatial Reuse (also known as BSS coloring) allows APs and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions.

■New power savings mode called Target-Wakeup-Time (TWT), allows the client to stay asleep and wake up only at pre-scheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This allows for significant energy savings for battery-operated devices.

■Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) support enables Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences, Apple FastLane and Cisco Identity Services Engine.

■Cross-AP Noise Reduction, a Cisco innovation that enables APs to intelligently collaborate in real time about RF conditions so that users connect with optimized signal quality and performance.

■Optimized AP Roaming for ensuring that client devices associate with the AP in their coverage range that offers the fastest data rate available.

■MIMO equalization capabilities, which optimize uplink performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade.
