The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Table 1. Features and benefits
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) |
The IEEE 802.11be standard, also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT) or Wi-Fi 7, is the latest in Wi-Fi, with enhancements such as 4K-QAM, Multilink Operation (MLO), enhanced Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), and preamble puncturing support for a 320-MHz channel width built to increase data transfer rates and connection performance, especially for applications requiring low latency like AR and VR apps. |
| Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) |
The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It delivers a better experience in typical environments with more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video; high-density, high-definition collaboration apps; all-wireless offices; and the Internet of Things (IoT). Wi-Fi 6E is Wi-Fi 6 “extended” into the 6-GHz frequency band. |
| 5G Multigigabit Ethernet |
Multigigabit Ethernet provides speeds up to 5 Gbps. Note: Cat6/Cat6A cabling is required for 10-Gbps port speeds. Cat 5e cable can support speeds up to 5 Gbps. |
| AP power optimization (AP Power Save mode) |
AP Power Save mode allows the access point to reduce its power consumption by, for example, shutting off radios during off-hours and weekends, while still being smart enough to reengage all features should they be needed. This both saves power and reduces the carbon footprint of running a wireless network. |
| Band steering |
Automatically directs Wi-Fi 6E-capable clients to connect to the 6-GHz radio to take advantage of the benefits that that radio offers while clearing the 2.4- and 5-GHz radios for legacy clients. |
| Intelligent Capture |
Probes the network and provides Cisco Catalyst™ Center with deep analysis. The software can track more than 240 anomalies and instantaneously review all packets on demand, emulating the onsite network administrator. Intelligent Capture allows for more informed decisions on your wireless networks. |
| Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) |
Allows the access points to intelligently determine the operating mode of client-serving radios based on the RF environment and traffic demands. The Cisco Wireless 9174I/E access points can be flexibly configured in tri-radio mode with 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz or as 5 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz. |
| Bluetooth/BLE |
The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.3 radio enables location-based use cases such as asset tracking, wayfinding, and analytics. It is upgradable to BLE 6 with a future software update. |
| Application hosting |
Helps simplify IoT deployments and ready them for the future by eliminating the need to install and manage overlay networks. Using the USB interface, containerized applications and hardware modules can be deployed to reduce cost and complexity. Adding Cisco Catalyst Center provides workflows and deployment-wide application lifecycle management. |
| Container support for applications |
Enables edge computing capabilities for IoT applications on the host access point. |
| Accelerometer |
Allows continuous, post-deployment verification of how the access point is installed. |
