Software configurable flex radio architecture for Tri-band or High Performance Dual-band support The CW9172I supports a software-defined flex radio which can be operated in either a 2.4/5/6 GHz 2x2:2 tri-band mode, or in a dual-band mode with 2x2:2 in 2.4GHz and 4x4:4 in 5GHz. This provides a flexible option to operate the AP in a dual-band mode, in countries where 6 GHz support is not available yet or if customers want to operate the 5 GHz radio for higher performance. The CW9172I is a cloud-managed 2x2:2 802.11be compatible access point that raises the bar for wireless performance and efficiency. Designed for next- generation deployments in offices, schools, hospitals, retail shops, and hotels, the CW9172I offers high throughput, enterprise-grade security, and simple management. The CW9172I provides a maximum of 9 Gbps* aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios. A dedicated fourth radio provides real- time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fifth integrated IoT radio delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing. With the combination of cloud management, high-performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features, the CW9172I makes an outstanding platform for the most demanding of uses—including high-density deployments and bandwidth or performance-intensive applications like voice (Cisco WebEx) and high-definition video. CW9172 and Meraki cloud management Management of the CW9172I is through Dashboard with an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid deployment without time-consuming deployment 2 complexity and time-consuming staging process. Since the CW9172I is self-configuring and managed over the web, it can be deployed at a remote location in a matter of minutes, even without on-site IT staff. 24x7 monitoring via the Meraki cloud delivers real-time alerts if the network encounters problems. Remote diagnostic tools enable immediate troubleshooting over the web so that distributed networks can be managed with a minimum of hassle. The CW9172I’s firmware is automatically kept up to date via the cloud. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web. This means no manual software updates to download or missing security patches to worry about.

With the flex radio running in dual-band mode, the dual-radio aggregate frame rate becomes 6Gpbs, with up to 5764 Mbps on the 4x4:4 5GHz radio and 344 Mbps on the 2x2:2 2.4GHz radio. Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity allow the CW9172I to support a higher client density than typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in better performance for more clients from each AP. * Refers to maximum over-the-air data frame rate capability of the radio chipset, and may exceed data rates allowed by IEEE 802.11be operation. Multi Link Operation (MLO) With support for features of 802.11be, the CW9172I can operate in multiple bands simultaneously to achieve higher throughput and improved SLA. This increases the total network performance and improves the end-user experience. Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) With support for features of 802.11be, the CW9172I offers DL and UL MU-MIMO and OFDMA for more efficient transmission to multiple clients. Especially suited to environments with numerous mobile devices, MU-MIMO and OFDMA enable multiple clients to receive data simultaneously. This increases the total network performance and improves the end-user experience. 3 Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon and Scanning Radio An integrated Bluetooth radio provides seamless deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and effortless visibility of Bluetooth devices. The CW9172I enables the next generation of location-aware applications while future-proofing deployments, ensuring it’s ready for any new customer engagement strategies. Automatic Cloud-Based RF Optimization The RF data collected by the dedicated fourth radio is continuously fed back to the Meraki cloud. This data is then used to automatically tune the channel selection, transmit power, and client connection settings for optimal performance under even the most challenging RF conditions. Integrated Enterprise Security and Guest Access The CW9172I features integrated, easy-to-use security technologies to provide secure connectivity for employees and guests alike. Advanced security features such as AES hardware-based encryption and Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory integration provide wired-like security while still being easy to configure. CW9172I will also support 192-bit encryption along with WPA3 support for added security of the wireless network. One-click guest isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors. PCI compliance reports check network settings against PCI requirements to simplify secure retail deployments. Dedicated Scanning Radio Delivers 24x7 Air Marshal and RF analytics The CW9172I’s dedicated tri-band scanning and security radio continually assesses the environment, characterizing RF interference and containing (in 2.4GHz and 5GHz only, since 6GHz mandates PMF) wireless threats like rogue access points. There’s no need to choose between wireless security (AirMarshal), advanced RF analysis, and serving client data - a dedicated fourth radio means that all functions occur in real-time, without any impact on client traffic or AP throughput. Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) & Mobile Device Management (MDM) Integration Meraki Systems Manager natively integrates with the CW9172I to offer automatic, context-aware security. Meraki Systems Manager’s self-service enrollment helps to rapidly deploy MDM without installing additional equipment, and then dynamically tie firewall and traffic shaping policies to client posture. Application-Aware Traffic Shaping The CW9172I includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling the configuration of QoS policies based on traffic type, helping to prioritize mission-critical applications while setting limits on recreational traffic like peer-to-peer and video streaming. Policies can be implemented per network, per SSID, per user group, or per individual user for maximum flexibility and control. Voice and Video Optimizations Industry-standard QoS features are built-in and easy to configure. Wireless Multimedia (WMM) access categories, 802.1p, and DSCP standards support, all ensure important applications get prioritized correctly, not only on the CW9172I but on other devices in the network. Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) and the new Target Wait Time feature in 802.11ax clients ensure minimal battery drain on wireless VoIP phones. Self-configuring, Self-Maintaining, Always Up-to-Date When plugged in, the CW9172I automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. Administrators can schedule automatic firmware upgrades for their dashboard network seamlessly. This ensures the network is kept up-to-date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features. Meraki Health CW9172I will support all the latest and greatest analytics to provide machine learning-based anomaly detection, server root cause analysis, wireless client scoring based on performance and connectivity metrics and network benchmarking for networks of similar size and vertical. Along with these features, CW9172I 4 will provide advanced location analytics via API and graphs in the dashboard to provide a clear picture of client density and their movement across the floor plan. Choice of Mode Cisco Wireless 9172I Series Access Points can be managed either on-premises with Catalyst 9800 Wireless Lan Controllers (WLC) or cloud-managed through the Meraki dashboard. Customers have the flexibility to deploy these access points in one mode and migrate to the other mode in the future.
