Description
The Cisco Wireless 9178I is a next-generation Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) indoor access point designed for high-density enterprise environments requiring ultra-low latency, extreme throughput, and advanced location services. Featuring a quad-radio architecture, the 9178I supports simultaneous operation across 2.4 GHz, dual 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, delivering exceptional capacity and performance for modern wireless networks.
Equipped with 4x4 MU-MIMO across all bands, 320-MHz channel support, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO), the 9178I enables faster speeds, improved reliability, and optimized client experiences for applications such as AR/VR, AI workloads, real-time collaboration, and high-definition video. Integrated Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth LE, and GNSS radios enhance precision location tracking, asset visibility, and advanced IoT use cases.
Designed for global deployment, the CW9178I-CFG simplifies installations with automatic regulatory domain selection and seamless onboarding across on-premises, cloud, or hybrid management environments. Dual 10-Gigabit Multigigabit Ethernet uplinks and flexible PoE support ensure scalable, resilient connectivity for enterprise campuses, healthcare, education, and large public venues.
