● Additional devices connect to the network every year and the Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points provide a seamless experience anywhere for everyone by going beyond the Wi-Fi 6/6E standard. With new Wi-Fi 6E enabled access points added to the portfolio; your network gets a boost in capacity, reliability, security and sustainability.
● By combining the power of Catalyst with the simplicity of Meraki, Catalyst 9100 Wi-Fi 6E Access Points (9166, 9166D1, 9164 and 9162) give customers the flexibility of deploying their network on-premises or in the cloud. Not only that, but if organization plans change and one deployment option makes more sense than the other, the deployment can switch; which adds investment protection to your network. This includes the Cisco Catalyst 9166D1 with its built-in directional antenna. The Catalyst 9166D1 is designed for use cases and areas with high ceilings such as auditoriums, warehouses, and other large open space areas, where external antennas would typically be required. And because the Catalyst 9166D1 uses a built-in directional antenna, it eliminates the need for additional hardware to achieve ideal Wi-Fi 6E coverage.
