Cisco Wireless 9176 Series Wi-Fi 7 access points are ideal for high-density environments and critical applications. These access points also allow choosing between on-premises and cloud management. Cisco Wireless' Wi-Fi 7 access points can leverage Wi-Fi 7 to support video streaming, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) applications. These access points offer real-time insights and personalized user experiences.
The Cisco Wireless 9176 Series Wi-Fi 7 access points enable operation in the 2.4, 5 and 6GHz bands for higher throughput and capacity. These access points provide three 4x4 radios and IoT radios.
The Cisco Wireless 9176 Series offers an Omni-directional antenna model, the CW9176I, suitable for most enterprise deployments and an internal directional antenna model, the CW9176D1, designed for use cases and areas with high ceilings such as auditoriums, warehouses, and other large open space areas. The CW9176D1 should be leveraged where typically external antennas would be required. Since the CW9176D1 uses a built-in directional antenna, it eliminates the need for additional hardware to achieve ideal wireless coverage.
Operational management is flexible because the network management can be changed anytime. If a network with Cisco Wireless 9176 Series access points was originally an on-premises deployment, it can be changed to cloud-based management without the need to purchase and redistribute additional hardware.
