Description
The Cisco Wireless 9178I is a next-generation enterprise access point designed to deliver ultra-high performance, low latency, and exceptional capacity using Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) technology. Built for demanding environments, it supports tri-band operation across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz with flexible quad-radio capability and advanced RF intelligence.
Featuring four high-performance 4x4 radios, the 9178I enables multi-link operation, 320-MHz channels, and 4K-QAM for dramatically increased throughput and reliability. Integrated Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and GNSS radios support precision location services, asset tracking, and advanced analytics.
With dual 10-Gigabit multigigabit Ethernet uplinks, intelligent power optimization, and global regulatory support, the Cisco Wireless 9178I is ideal for high-density campuses, enterprise offices, healthcare, education, and mission-critical wireless deployments preparing for the future of AI-driven networking.
